    Nolltoleransens dolda läroplan? En kvantitativ studie om svenska rektorers samverkan med polis
    (2025-08-29) Andersen Engen, Vilde; Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen; University of Gothenburg/Department of Political Science
    The involvement of the police in Swedish schools has increased in recent years. This raises concerns about potential consequences for students. Previous Swedish research on police involvement in schools is very limited and predominantly qualitative in nature. The aim of this study is to address the lack of quantitative research by examining the effects of principals’ discipline practices on their propensity to collaborate with the police. The empirical data used in this study are derived from The Swedish National Agency for Education’s 2022/2023 national principal survey. The study builds on the notion that the widespread involvement of the police in Swedish schools may reflect a shift from social crime prevention strategies, which emphasizes building social bonds, to situational crime prevention strategies, which emphasizes control and deterrence. Using multiple regression analysis, and controlling for principals’ access to resources in the form of student health team, teachers and school staff, as well as the school ownership type and proportion of students with a minority background, the results demonstrate that principals’ discipline practices have a significant positive effect on their propensity to collaborate with the police.

    UFORMELT SIKKERHETSNETT? En kvantitativ studie om baltiske medborgeres aksept for uformelt arbeid
    (2020-06-22) Andersen Engen, Vilde; Göteborgs universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen; University of Gothenburg/Department of Political Science
    Informal work is a global phenomena with extensive economical, social and political implications, affecting a large number of individuals worldwide. Unregistered economic activities are especially prominent in post-soviet baltic countries. Previous studies have highlighted macro-level structural determinants to explain the extent of informal work, with insufficient emphasize on the importance of researching attitudinal aspects of the informal economy. The aim of this study is to contribute to the research field by examining the effects of institutional trust on baltic citizens acceptability of informal work. The objective is to provide a deeper understanding of what influences baltic citizens to choose to work informally. The empirical data used in this study was collected from a sample of citizens from the baltic countries Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Russia in a 2008 survey. The widespread acceptability of informal work in these five countries is proposed to result from the distance, asymmetry or clash between formal and informal institutions. Using a multiple regression analysis, and controlling for the variables age, gender and democratic satisfaction, the results reveal that perceived institutional trust has a significant effect on baltic citizens acceptability of informal work. This shows that citizens attitudes towards institutions affect their attitudes towards the informal economy.
