Local Sensemaking of Policy Paradoxes – Implementing Local Crime Prevention in Sweden

Abstract  

This paper analyses the policy implementation of local crime prevention and community safety programmes in Sweden. It focuses
on the clash between the transnational idea-complex and the national context, i.e. the unavoidable policy paradoxes of a transnational
idea diffusion, and how they are made sense of when handled at local level. In particular, it emphasizes how actors in socioeconomically
different local contexts within the same urban area have partly different reasons and motives for implementation. By using
a sensemaking approach, this article contributes to the understanding of how convergence at national level is followed by
divergence at local level.
