Abstract

Abstract
In this article the authors present a meta-synthesis of their studies on secure institutions in Sweden and Denmark. The aim of the metasynthesis is to explore how the context of confinement shapes the possibilities for providing treatment and positive change for at-risk youth. Drawing on meta-synthesis methodology the authors extract content from nine studies published in 20 articles. We highlight three dimensions, which are a) treatment practices and behavioural regulation, b) the carceral materialities and sociomaterial practices, and c) relations. We argue that while treatment is curtailed by confinement, improvements can be made to support more successful change among at-risk youth and smooth their transition into adulthood.

Artiklen præsenterer en metasyntese af ni studier om sikrede institutioner i Danmark og Sverige. Formålet med metasyntesen er at undersøge, hvordan frihedsberøvelse rammesætter behandling og forandringsarbejde med unge i udsatte positioner. Forfatterne analyserer 20 artikler fordelt på ni studier, de selv har gennemført. Analysen har fokus på tre centrale forhold; a) behandlingsarbejde og adfærdsregulering, b) materialitet og sociomaterielle praktikker, og c) relationer. Vi argumenterer for, at behandling påvirkes af frihedsberøvelse, men med forbedringer kan behandling på sikret institution bidrage til at skabe positiv forandring og sikre de unges overgang til voksenliv.
