Abstract
Many scholars have studied the rising threat from terrorism and the different challenges for the intelligence community in the prevention of an attack. But little research has been done on countries' different preventive measures within counter-terrorism. One of those examples are between Denmark and Sweden, which have made largely different approaches to preventive measures regarding security and guarding outside of jewish institutions.
After the terror attack in Copenhagen 2015, when a jewish security guard was killed outside the synagogue, the danish government contributed to an extensive reprioritization within the police's work on the surveillance and the security measures to protect jewish targets.

But little research has been done on countries' different preventive measures within counter-terrorism. One of those examples are between Denmark and Sweden, which have made largely different approaches to preventive measures regarding security and guarding outside of jewish institutions.
After the terror attack in Copenhagen 2015, when a jewish security guard was killed outside the synagogue, the danish government contributed to an extensive reprioritization within the police's work on the surveillance and the security measures to protect jewish targets. This is a big difference to Sweden, where jewish congregations are largely responsible for their own security.

Using Wilhelm Agrell´s model for warning-processes and his theory about challenges in the detection of threats, this study has found flaws with the preventative measures, both in Denmark before the attack in 2015 and in Sweden today. By using the compliance theory to examine the organizational structure of the police today in different regions, the study has also found lacking resources, lack of information and collaboration as factors that contribute to the difference between the security measures and guarding between the countries.

Inledningsvis vill jag tacka min handledare Anders Sannerstedt. Tack för ditt stöd när jag tvivlade på om denna svåra fråga gick att undersöka!

Jag vill även rikta ett stort tack till intervjupersonerna som gjort denna uppsats möjlig och bidragit med stor entusiasm i ämnet och med värdefull kunskap. Tack till Magnus Ranstorp för en djup redogörelse över hotbildssituationen. Tack till representanterna från polismyndigheten för en genomgående överläggning av arbetsmetoder och en stor förståelse för problematiken. Tack till Thomas Bull för en inblick i hur Malmö Stad även arbetar med dessa frågor. Men jag vill framförallt rikta ett extra tack till säkerhetscheferna vid de judiska församlingarna, för deras svåra uppdrag med att säkra hela den judiska befolkningen i Sverige. Tack även till alla judiska säkerhetsvakter som varje dag skyddar de judiska institutionerna i Sverige, med eller utan polisens hjälp.
