Abstract

On a less extreme level, extremist conversion impacts individuals negatively and incites conflict within households and families.

Violent political or religious extremism is a threat to both Sweden and other nations, and terror attacks have resulted in casualties and personal injuries. On a less extreme level, extremist conversion impacts individuals negatively and incites conflict within households and families. Youths must be protected from recruitment attempts by violent extremist organisations, whether far right, far left or islamist. The work of teachers that meet the young population in their everyday life is important when it comes to preventing violent extremism among youths. In this thesis I examine what role teachers are given in preventing extremism in Sweden. Through text analysis methods of municipal action plans, I also examine how schools in Scania support teachers in anti-extremism work
The study draws from literature studies of previous research on the subject as well as content analysis of the existing municipal action plans. I conclude that preventative measures carried out by schools are shaped by policing methods rather than teaching methods, when the latter could be more efficient to prevent extremist conversion. I also find that support for teachers is lacking in municipal action plans - although these flawed action plans are better than none. (Less)
