There is a lack of targeted social support for young people whose siblings are criminals, according to a project by the aid organization BUFFF (Children and young people with a parent/family member in prison, custody or parole), reports Sweden’s Radio Ekot.

This despite the fact that research, which P1’s In the name of the law has taken part in, shows that siblings of criminals run a greater risk of committing crimes themselves.

– The support for these younger siblings is almost non-existent. You don’t talk about these siblings, there is no support for these siblings, but the focus is on those who are deprived of their freedom, says Frida Asperö, who leads the project at BUFFF, to the radio.
