Qualitative Info

In 2010, Brå sent out a survey to the authorities in the judicial system with questions about their work against hate crime. The questionnaire responses show that an absolute majority of the police authorities, as well as the Swedish Prosecution Authority and the Swedish National Courts Administration do not have anybody working specifically with questions relating to hate crime. However, four of the police authorities have individuals who work full time with these questions. Some police authorities, such as Stockholm County with its hate crime unit, have continued working actively against hate crime during 2011.
