Today the school is a given place for preventing social problems. The school struggles continuously to live up to the expectations of balancing preventive social work with pedagogy in a satisfactory way.The purpose of this essay is to get a picture of priorities of social work in school. I want to know what it is that affects and controls the principal's decision about what kind of social project they will accept and be a part of.This essay shows that only one of the eleven principals interviewed apply projects based on evidence when they decide about participation in a social project. Instead, the decisions are based on references from other schools. The reason why the principals do not base their judgement on projects which are based on evidence is because they consider the search for results too time consuming.When there is no requirement that a certain part of the social work in a school must be based on evidence, it leads to the children taking part in different social projects which we can not guarantee are good for them.One solution can be to guide the principals through a national social teachingplan, which can assure that social work based on evidence are being applied in the municipality schools as well as the independent schools..

Kan trygghet skapas? TrygghetsfrÄgorna har fÄtt ett allt större utrymme i debatten om staden. Forskningen och debatten Àr lÄngt ifrÄn entydig och recepten pÄ trygghet varierar kraftigt mellan olika lÀnder. Grovt kan de föresprÄkade ÄtgÀrderna delas in i tvÄ lÀger: sÀkerhet och trygghet. ?SÀkerhet? med framför allt situationell brottsprevention med den filosofin att skadegörelse, vÄld och stölder leder till otrygghet, vilket i sin tur leder till att mÀnniskor inte vÄgar ta plats i det offentliga rummet.

How the companies measure and evaluate their activity and investments in social media channels in general, and Facebook in particular is studied through qualitative interviews.

SamhĂ€llets rĂ„dande styrningsmentalitet innebĂ€r att medborgarna ska styra sig sjĂ€lva genom sjĂ€lvförstĂ„else, sjĂ€lvkontroll och sjĂ€lvomsorg (Öhman, 2007). Skolan har alltid brottats med ordningsproblem, men disciplineringsverktygen har skiljt sig Ă„t genom tiderna (Granath, 2008). Även dagens skola brottas med ordningsproblem (sr.se) och dessutom med en allt mer utbredd psykisk ohĂ€lsa hos eleverna (bo.se). För att fĂ„ bukt med dessa problem introducerads under 1980-talet i USA olika typer av program som skulle trĂ€na emotionell och social kompetens (Wennberg, 2000). Denna typ av program kom till Sveriges skolor i mitten pĂ„ 1990-talet bl.a.

The aim with this study has been to examine and to analyze the discourse of RosengÄrd in Swedish media. With the concept of discourse is meant here specific ways to speak about and to understand the world, or a part of it. In order to reach increased understanding regarding media presentations and constructions of RosengÄrd, I have done a study about how RosengÄrd has been presented in the Swedish daily and evening press during the violent acts that took place in RosengÄrd in the spring and summer of 2008, when youths regarding to media put cars and containers on fire, and also threw stones at fire engines and other emergency service vehicles when these had to turn out to put out the fires.

This study applies a social constructivist perspective.

In this essay my aim is to examine how the term utanförskap is constructed and defined as a social problem in the public arena of the Swedish Parliament. The term utanförskap was widely used in the election-campaign prior to the Swedish Parliament election in the year 2006. The term, mainly articulated by the Right-wing Alliance, was used to describe indi-viduals and groups that were depicted as being outside the Swedish society. In the political debate, work and benefit dependency were constructed as binary opposites, with the latter describing the individuals in utanförskap. Translated to English the term utanförskap would be something like ?the state of being outside? or ?outsidership?.

This study explores the notion of class and social inequality as expressed in the Swedish election campaign of 2006 and in the reception of the Swedish conservative party as a "worker's party". Inspired by Fairclough's critical discourse analysis I have carried through an investigation of the debate. My sources consists in a collection of articles, mainly leader columns and contributions to the debate, from a selected number of Swedish newspapers.I found that an explicit discussion about class, or use of the concept as such, was largely absent. In cases where the concept occurred it was often used in a purely descriptive sense or dismissed as outdated. Furthermore, I have drawn the conclusion that the traditional understanding of class is being challenged by a discourse which aims at establishing a new understanding of social inequality as lack of paid work.I take my point of departure in the belief that class continues to be one of the most important bases of social inequality.
