Aims and objectives: Crimes against elder are increasing in the society, both within Sweden and in Europe. The thesis aims to study the Home care that visits people 65 years and older, and to investigate whether the Home care can become a crime preventing actor in their everyday life routine. Further on, the study would like to examine if and if so, how the Home care-givers perceive the elderly as victims of a crime. Home care is the main actor that many elderly people meet in their everyday life. When crime affect the elderly the Home care can have a significant meaning in preventing crime and to be alert of what happens in and around the elderly person. This thesis aims to describe how Home care in their everyday work-routines can contribute as a crime preventing actor in crimes against elderly citizens. Method and data: The study is conducted qualitatively by nine semi-structured interviews by professionals who works in relevant field of work such as the Police Department, Social Services for elderly and Home care. In the thesis focus is concentrated on central Gothenburg in Sweden and on the elderly citizens living in their homes. The Home care-helpers in the thesis are stationed within municipal activity and do not include the private actors in the field. Results: The main findings are that the Home care do have routines in their everyday work which in some manners already can apply to crime prevention, although the Home care-givers are not aware of this. Also, the Police officers who do already work in field of crime prevention, are trying to include the Home care as a partner in a bigger cooperation that already exists in Gothenburg. Trust is significant in work with elderly people who has a vulnerability. Further aspects to consider for the elderly in their everyday life and as a victim of crime, are the consequences that they suffer from afterwards. An awareness amongst Home care can contribute to the understanding of the way perpetrators use trust and other fashions in their efforts to get into homes of the elderly, and are relevant to how crime prevention needs to be organized among those professionals who meet and are in contact with elderly and elderly victims.

The factors motivating individuals to volunteer and continue volunteering is something that could be translated into non-volunteer organisations. The fact that these individuals are willing to use their own time and money to help others is quite extraordinary. This makes the author's question individual's main motives and goals for doing volunteer work, if they want to live up to society’s image of being a "good person", or if they have other ulterior motives that motivates one to do work for free. The question is if the image is based on actual facts, or if the volunteers actually are using that image for their own personal benefits. This paper will discuss motivation among volunteers and the outcome for each individual’s motivation. The data is collected by interviewing eight volunteers at a animal rescue center in Thailand, where the authors further participated for three weeks of volunteer work and observations. The aim of this paper is to distinguish the volunteer’s motivational factors for their work and what consequences these may cause for the individual. The terms volunteer work and motivation is explained to create a broader understanding of the discussed subject. Further, to gain a deeper insight for what motivates each individual, the authors will use categorisations presented from Self Determination Theory to discuss and analyze the different motivational factors identified. The volunteers’ patterns of behavior and decision making is discussed and explained by the rationalisation concept. The overall result of the thesis is that the motivational factors for the volunteers at a first glance can be seen as similar. Although when one digs deeper, the result shows many different factors that personally affects each and every individual, in different ways. These individual consequences shows that the work with motivation cannot be generalised, and emphasises the importance of an individual focus in creating a satisfying working climate adapted to a diverse workforce. Further the different types of motivational factors cannot be categorised as better or worse. The individual’s aims and goals is the main factor that affects the decision making and outcome. This result is valuable for individuals in companies to adapt motivation into their everyday work. For HR this can be argued as a highly important reason to continuously motivate the different actors of the organisation.
