New Report: Unreliable evidence behind accusations of cheating for personal assistance

NEW FROM OUR RESEARCHERS: Government investigations rely on unsubstantiated evidence in reports on extensive cheating in welfare systems for people with disabilities. Both current and former governments have based their assistance policies on public commissions that lack scientific basis.

This is shown in a new report by political scientists Niklas Altermark and Hampus Nilsson.

Niklas Altermark's personal page here on the department's website.

Hampus Nilsson is a research assistant at the Department of Political Science. He will graduate with his Master's degree in welfare policy in the spring of 2018.
