The two men, a 39-year-old and a 31-year-old, have extensive criminal records. The 39-year-old is present in 18 cases, the 31-year-old in 26 cases.

Sanna Matsson is the group head of the department of serious crimes within the police in Jämtland County. She often meets so-called relapse criminals.

How does the police work with this kind of individuals?

- It looks a little different if you are young or old, says Sanna Matsson and continues:

- If you are young, preventative work is extremely important. Collaboration with school and social is a and o. It is important to get there early, preferably before a crime is even committed.

- If, on the other hand, you are an older person who does a great deal of crime then it is important to get to a conclusion. Above all, you can try to get a change in attitude during interrogations.

Hard to break criminal trajectory

The goal is always to get the individual to break their criminal trajectory. Trying to give the individual another alternative.

- It is the best payroll I can get when I meet someone for whom it has gone really well, says Sanna Matsson.

At the same time, it is far from everyone who manages to break their criminal trajectory.

How does it feel to work as a police officer when an individual is constantly returning?

- I think I have found a way to relate. I see every new crime as a stand-alone. It has worked for 31 years to think that way, says Sanna Matsson.

How many chances should an individual get?

- You should get just as many chances you need. You always get another chance, she says.
