The purpose with this study is to develop a deeper understanding about how Swedish governmental agencies can differ in how they handle radicalization and violent extremism as a community problem. The reason behind this study is the growth of attention on young western citizens being radicalized and involved in terrorist activity during the last decade. The governmental agencies that have been selected for this study are the Swedish Police Authority and the Swedish National Agency for Education. The chosen research design for this study is a qualitative method to analyze two official agencies reports connected with measures handling violent extremism. The results provided by the research shows that both state agencies are relying on agency cooperation to handle the issue with violent extremism. It also shows that the Swedish National Agency of Education focuses on long term prevention methods on micro level while the Swedish Police Authority focuses on requiring juridical support on macro level to develop more intelligence collecting methods. This is explained by the fact that state agencies have their own ways of applying governance tools on individual subjects.
