Cut the Cause! A Common Platform (UNNGÅ) with Analytical Toolsets (OARSF) to Identify Root Causes of Societal and Systemic Dysfunctions that Can Lead an Individual to a Criminal Act
2023 | Norway
This project explores the complexities of people's cognition and behaviour in relation to crime, both in terms of committing a crime and responding to it. Thus, the goal is to identify the root causes of criminal acts by focusing on the act itself, the motivations behind it, and, most importantly, the context, as crime does not occur in isolation but is the result of societal and systemic dysfunctions.
Consequently, this project has developed an intervention in the form of an analytical toolset (OARSF) and a platform for co-creation (UNNGÅ). It aims to identify systemic gaps in understanding the core reasons for crime and redirects existing resources towards prevention. Hence, the energy and resources devoted to one person will provide solutions and prevent many problems arising from that archetype (Fidos, 2023).
