The document discusses methods for policing and crime prevention from the perspective of Sgt. Carsten Alvén of the Stockholm County Police Department's Dialogue Police Unit. It addresses theories like routine activity theory and focuses on preventing crime through both control and building trust, as well as shifting from reactive to preventative policing and legal approaches to legitimate approaches based on subjective community perceptions rather than just objective truths.
