Sweden and Germany are often compared, which suggests that much can be learned from each country. One aspect that needs further investigation concerns support for young victims of crime. The study therefore compares the Swedish and German welfare systems’ handling of young victims who need support after victimization, to see what can be learned from each respective country. The comparisons make it clear that both countries’ support systems developed out of similar social movements in the 1970s. However, there are differences between the two welfare states’ approaches to supporting young people. The reasons for the similarities and differences are discussed, along with practical implications for social policy.

Whether hooliganism, a field of "serious games of competition" in which masculine domination prevails, is in crisis against the background of far-reaching processes of social change, since emancipatory progress has occurred and a certain number of women are violently involved in hooliganism, and which gender role images are ascribed there, is the subject of the present work. These and other research questions are answered from the internal perspective of those in the field of hooliganism with the help of the research strategy of sociological ethnography.
