Labour market and welfare crime costs the Swedish society billions every year. People are being exploited, and systems built on trust are used for criminal purposes.

“When cheating and exploitation become widespread and normalised, it doesn’t just impact individuals and vulnerable groups, but the very trust we have in the system – which makes it a threat to the system,” says Amir Rostami, a professor of criminology at Södertörn University.
