Key findings
The report finds that the frequency of radical nationalist lone-actor attacks draws attention to the need to
strengthen the security and protection of Muslims, Jews and other minorities. For
example, the physical protection of mosques, synagogues or other meeting points
should be reviewed and heightened.
Methodology (Qualitative/Quantitative and exact type used, questionnaires etc)
The study is a thorough analysis with background in previous research, specialist litterature, media, but above all the environment's own produced material, the study sketches a picture of the Swedish radical nationalist environment.
