Analys av polisens alkoholutandningsprov i fem län åren 2001-2003
- 2007
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The extent and results of the police breathalyser tests in Stockholm, Västerbotten, Östergötland, Skåne and Västra Götaland Counties over the period 2001-2003 have been analysed. The primary aim is to uncover and describe shortcomings in existing data, not to estimate the extent of drink driving. The analysis has been made with reference to the codes applied by the police to describe the type of control at which the test was made. These codes are - 0) Police initiated driver control - 1) "Random" control (not random in the strict statistical sense) - 2) Control because of a road traffic accident - 3) Targeted control (e.g. at strategically selected points such as shops selling alcoholic drinks) - 4) Other codes - It is mainly the breathalyser tests coded by the police as 0, 1 and 3 that are examined in the analysis. The other codes appear very rarely in the controls made.

Automatic speed cameras in Sweden 2002-2003
- 2005
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- At the end of 2003, camera boxes were used to enforce speed for 30 sections of road. The total road distance was about 500 km, and the number of camera cabinets was 225. The system consists of fixed pole and cabinets installed at the side of the road. All sections where speed enforcement is undertaken are clearly signed with information about the speed cameras. Speed camera enforcement has resulted in a total of 4,801 photographed vehicles in 2002 and 9,402 vehicles in 2003. Motorcycles and emergency vehicles that make up about 2% of the traffic are not included. The number of approved photos was 2,565 during 2002 and 6,073 during 2003. The proportion of approved photos and contacts with the vehicle drivers has thus increased from 53% to 65%. Nearly the entire decrease in unsatisfactory photos can be attributed to technical defects.

Hur påverkades hastigheterna av höjda böter?
- 2008
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- On 1 October 2006 the fines for most traffic infringements, inter alia violations of the current speed restrictions, were steeply increased. It is entirely logical that speed levels temporarily decrease when the fines for speed violations are increased. According to foreign reports, it is to be expected that, when fines are increased, speeds are reduced the most where motorists feel that the risk of detection is greatest, for instance on sections of road with speed cameras. The objective of the study is to see the effect of the increase in fines on 1 October 2006 and whether the increase is greater on sections with speed cameras than in other places. Speed measurements were made at a total of 13 sites in three areas, on European Route E20 around Skara, on National Road 50 at Omberg in the county of Östergötland, and finally on National Route 55 to the south of Katrineholm, and on neighbouring control sections. Before-measurements were made in the middle of September and after-measurements over two weeks from the middle of October 2006. On the automated traffic surveillance and control sections in the three areas, measurements were made both directly towards a camera and in the other direction, and also on a part of the section where no camera is visible. Speed measurements were also made on a neighbouring section with approximately the same traffic conditions as on the section with camera. In this way, therefore, measurements were primarily made on traffic travelling directly towards a camera but also, by way of control, in the opposite direction - at the camera, between the cameras and on a road that has not been equipped with traffic surveillance cameras.

Polisens attityder till trafikövervakning : en jämförelse mellan år 1999 och år 2007
- 2008
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report is based on the results obtained from two questionnaire studies carried out during 1999 and 2007. The aim of the studies is to increase our knowledge about the attitudes and approach of the police to traffic safety work and how these attitudes have changed with time. In the first study 729 randomly chosen police officers completed the questionnaire and in the second 1,022. The results show that the basic attitude among the police towards traffic surveillance has become more positive. The attitudes towards the directives from the governing bodies and their ability to participate in decision making have improved slightly from the first measurement to the second measurement. However, it is characteristic that a fairly large proportion still is dissatisfied with the same. The attitude of the police towards their own reporting of accidents has not changed appreciably at all. On the other hand, the understanding that a certain amount of statistics shall be reported is slightly greater in 2007 than in 1999. The attitudes towards automatic surveillance have strongly improved although a well-visible policeman is still advocated. The need to reinforce the surveillance of professional traffic is considered to be greater in 2007 than in 1999. According to the police, the attitude amongst the public towards speeding offences has become more negative than it was before. Nevertheless, a relatively high proportion still believes that it is a relatively minor offence. In 2006, the tolerance level for speeding offences was lowered at the same time as the fines for traffic offences were raised markedly. The results of the questionnaire show that the police are neutral towards whether or not these measures will influence the public’s acceptance of the traffic safety work, which could indicate that they have not yet defined their attitude regarding the question. More than half of all police officers in 2007 do not believe that the public are aware of the possibility of having a time for consideration with respect to the acceptance of a fine for a breach of regulations. Finally the results show that in 2007, more controls were carried out than before. The most important conclusions that can be drawn from these results are that the police have developed a more positive attitude towards the traffic safety work and that, at the same time, more traffic controls are being carried out. But there are also many who still do not feel that they are able to influence their work. Furthermore, many are dissatisfied with the governing body’s directives regarding traffic safety work. Such a dissatisfaction can influence the psycho-social work environment and the motivation for carrying out good work, but concretely the results show that such a dissatisfaction influences, both directly and indirectly, how many traffic controls one carries out.

Utvärdering av projektet Nationell samverkan mot alkohol och droger i trafiken enligt Skelleftemodellen : syntesrapport
- 2009
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The Skellefte Model is a project whose purpose is to reduce the number of repeated drunk driving offences by improving cooperation between the police, social services, addiction treatment systems, county administrative boards, public prosecutors, judges and the criminal justice system. The project's key concept is that suspected drunk drivers must come into contact with municipal social services or be taken care of by the county council addiction treatment system as quickly as possible, and preferably within 24 hours after being apprehended and questioned by the police. The evaluation indicates that the Skellefte Model is socio-economically beneficial. A majority of those who are working in the project also believe that the model works well, but that there are numerous problems, such as administrative problems and routines, a need to better embed the model among administrators, etc. The evaluation also shows that there is room for improvement in the handling of drugged drivers. The results differ greatly from county to county. The inter-county differences are likely due to factors such as when the project began and discrepancies in terms of the application of routines, motivation and embedment among employees. They may also be attributable to some extent to the fact that some aspects of the Skellefte Model are being applied in different ways and adapted to disparate local and regional conditions.
