Abstract [en]

The aim of this study was to investigate young men's experiences of being stopped by the Stockholm police in two marginalized areas in Stockholm. The study had a special focus on the experience of ethnicized location profiling, which became relevant in connection with the new law on inspection zones. To achieve the study's goals, a qualitative research method was used as the empirical evidence was based on six interviews with men who gave an account of their experiences and perspectives of marginalized communities. The empirical work has been analyzed using stigma theory, territorial stigma and labeling theory. The results showed that the men had gone through similar experiences during their conversations with the police, where the police's frequent interest was based on the men's ethnicity, appearance and area of ​​residence. The men highlighted that this had an impact on the police's treatment, as the men felt that the police saw them as criminals and treated them differently from ethnic Swedes. Based on the men's previous experiences, they assumed that the inspection zones would worsen the image of marginalized communities and affect the living situation of the individuals of the community. Where there was a risk that the zones contribute to the stopping of innocents and that ethnic and geographic profiling increases.
