Effectiveness of the Police Authority’s work to provide information to victims of crime (RiR 2021:20)

The Swedish National Audit Office (Swedish NAO) has audited the effectiveness of the Policy Authority’s work to provide information to victims of crime. The focus is on whether internal governance and support for how victims of crime are to be informed are effective and whether they are based on appropriate analyses. The Swedish NAO’s overall conclusion is that there are several shortcomings that mean the work is not as effective and efficient as it could be. The shortcomings may lead to victims of crime not receiving the information they are entitled to, thus affecting their willingness and possibility of participating in the legal process.
