Hot och våld mot socialarbetare : En litteraturstudie om hur socialarbetare hanterar arbetet med barn och unga

Social workers have been exposed with threats and violence in work with children and youths for a long time. Threats and violence are a serious problem for social workers because their work is affected by these incidents. The incidents affect social workers because social workers feel concern and fear for their safety or freedom. Therefore the work is also limited based on social workers self-esteem. Based on two theories; "KASAM" and "Empowerment" the study presents how social workers choose to handle threats and violence against them in work with youths and children.
