Several of the young Swedes who are detained in Denmark, suspected of being behind the recent violent crimes in the neighboring country, have been the subject of social interventions in Sweden.

This is shown by an investigation conducted by Sveriges Radio Ekot, where 15 young people have been mapped.

Of these, ten are under 20 years old and thus eligible for care according to the law on care of young people, LVU. Half of them have received such interventions, according to the investigation. Despite this, they have been recruited for assignments by criminal gangs.

It is clear that it is a failure for society, says Manne Gerell, associate professor of criminology at Malmö University, to Ekot and continues:

Social services may not have sufficient tools to handle this. But it can also be that when social services come in, it's difficult to work with these children, because then they are already somewhat drawn into the criminal world and it's harder to get them to leave it.
