Abstract [en]

Based on Hirschi’s theory of social bonds, the purpose of this essay is to examine teachers’ experiences of students’ social bond to school as a prerequisite for crime prevention. Using a qualitative method the study aims to investigate teachers’ experiences through semi-structured interviews held with teachers’. The theory of social bonds distinguishes four different bonds: attachment, commitment, involvement and belief. According to Hirschi it is through strong social bonds that adolescents refrain from committing crimes. Research suggests that different forms of attachment to school have a connection with adolescent crime and that when the attachment to school increases the probability of crime decreases. The results of this study showed that teachers’ found that most students’ have a good, strong relationship with the teachers’ at school, that a majoirity of students respect the teachers’ as authorities as well as having a positive attitude towards schoolwork and the time they spend in school. This indicates that, according to the teachers’, students’ attachment, commitment, involvement and belief could be considered strong in relation to school. This can further be interpreted as a majority of students’ seemingly having a strong social bond to school and therefore being less likely to commit crimes.
