Lecture: Organized Crime in Sweden

Paulina Brandberg’s work at the National Unit against International and Organized Crime gives her a unique voice in discussions about Sweden’s escalating gang violence. She has worked directly with cases where criminal networks used violence, threats and human trafficking to establish and expand their presence in Swedish communities.

In these cases, the justice system has often faced significant structural challenges. During her lectures, Paulina explains where current legislation falls short, how resources are distributed and why cooperation between authorities must be strengthened. She highlights the gap between political ambition and operational reality.

Her analysis goes beyond describing the problem. She presents concrete solutions based on practical experience. What changes in legislation are necessary? How should authorities coordinate more effectively? What long-term strategies are required to reverse the trend? Audiences leave with a deeper understanding of both the causes behind organized crime and the measures needed to address it.
