Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The subject of this study is the policing of the drug problem during the period between the nationalization of the police force in 1965 and the introduction of imprisonment as a penalty for drug consumption in 1993. The influence of four key factors are discussed: legislation, organization, the conception of and the attention paid to the drug problem. Qualitative and quantitative data from police archives, the prosecutor general, parliamentary publications, a public TV newsroom and various statistics from other sources are combined. The analysis shows four important stages in the process towards a substantially increased drug control:By the end of the 1960s, all data indicate increased attention to the drug problem. The penal law on narcotics was passed in 1968. It laid the foundation for subsequent policing activities. The police was also given increased possibilities to use telephone-tapping to combat serious crimes.By the end of the 1970s, the creation of a special narcotics police organization at the medium level of police hierarchy institutionalized, emphasized and assigned manpower to combat serious crimes.Since the beginning of the 1980s new target groups have been added. The "street dealer" is a new direct target. With the strengthening of the preventive role of the police new indirect target groups emerged: the police also emphasized their work against recruitment of new drug users.The main objective of the new penal law on narcotics of 1968 was to help drug addicts recover and merge back in society again. Addiction was seen as a disease. Drug dealing by the addicts was reprehensible but not a priority matter to the police. Over time, this attitude changed and in 1989 the police saw distinct actions against street dealers as the most important element in the repressive policy.

Ett brott - två processer : Medling vid brott och unga lagöverträdare i straffprocessen
- 2011

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A crime and the two processes meeting the young offender is the core of this work. The aim has been to analyze the areas that seem problematic when mediation (restorative justice) and criminal procedure for young people have to interact. The main questions have been: · Which restorative process is used and what is its purpose? · What is the legal status of restorative justice/mediation? · What are the roles of the parties and of the mediator? The method used in this work has been a traditional legal method in combination with participant observation. Additionally, a case study of mediation has been used to illustrate the mediation process. The restorative justice process that is used in Sweden is the victim offender mediation and it is organized as a semi independent service. According to the Mediation Act, the purpose of the process is: a) for the offender to gain further insight on the impact of the crime, and b) for victims to have the opportunity to process their experiences and resolve potential issues. Mediation has the ability to provide the parties to a conflict with closure and thus the possibility to move forward. As such, mediation serves as a complement as well as an alternative to the legal process. The results show that the Swedish mediation service needs more explicit support and education at all levels, and that there is a need for more well-defined rules and guidelines. The legal rules and guidelines must, however, not impede on the uniqueness of the mediation process; the voluntaries, the confidentiality, the equality, the reconciliation and the facilitation. If it does, the mediation process will end up as a pale copy of the law, and the mediators the new professionals who steal the conflict from those who really own it.
