Chapter 5 · Law and justice
Vilken verksamhet utreder ett barns behov av skydd och stöd när barnet dras in i brottslighet?
Which service investigates a child's need for protection and support when the child becomes involved in crime?
Correct answer: Social services
Social services must work to prevent crime among children and provide protection and support where needed. Children too young to receive criminal sanctions can therefore still receive social interventions.
Key words
skydd och stöd · protection and support

Why this option does not fit
Kriminalvården
The Prison and Probation Service is a state agency, without municipal social services' support responsibility.
Åklagarmyndigheten
Prosecutors handle criminal-law questions, not municipal assessments of social support needs.
Tingsrätten
The district court hears cases; it is not the municipality's social service.
