The city of Västerås reports the most welfare violations to the police in Sweden, far more than in Stockholm, Malmö and Gothenburg. Stopping welfare violations is important both for the economy and for the legitimacy of the welfare system. “People should be able to trust that we are managing the municipality's funds in a fair and proper way,” says Marie Wall, social secretary in Västerås.
