Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck blev känt i Sverige under 1990-talet, då de första uppmärksammade hedersmorden begicks i landet.

Media rapporterar frekvent om skjutningar kopplade till hämndaktioner i den kriminella miljön, problem i de utsatta områdena, mord som inte går att klara upp samt företag som förskingrat miljonbelopp. Det ska nämnas att den organiserade brottsligheten har bytt skepnad genom tiderna.

This thesis aims to shed light on these relationships by performing quantitative analyses of the small-scale freshwa
