Our purpose was to investigate which readiness, different sectors in a minor city has to meet honour-related problems. We wanted to investigate how they manage honour-related problems and how the co-operation in these cases is between different authorities. Our questions at issue were: Which knowledge's, experiences there are about the culture of honour, which resources has the authorities and how is the co-operation between different organisations work?We have collected present documentation and research about the subject. We made eight quality interviews with different persons within professions, as we understood, came in contact with cultures of honour. We choose three different theoretical perspectives: moral panic, culture relativism and ethnocentrism as models for the explanation of our analysis.The main result of our investigation showed that there was a lack of knowledge about honour related problems in the minor city that we investigated. The panic of morale that led to revision of the law texts and other actions from the government such as resources for education and sheltered housing hasn't reached the small municipality. As we understood it the authorities approach to honour-related problems balances between an ethnocentric and a culture relativistic point of view.
