This thesis focuses mainly on four cases in which the penal for murder was discussed and a recently submitted bill in which harsher penalties for murder are proposed. I, thus, intend to examine the circumstances to which the greatest deal of importance is attached when deciding upon an appropriate sentence for murder and secondly, why the Government considers harsher penalties for murder to be req

Stödbrevet är en form av ensidig utfästelse vanligen utfärdat av ett moderbolag gentemot en kreditgivare eller leverantör för ett dotterbolags räkning när moderbolaget inte vill eller kan lämna ett borgensåtagande eller garanti, men ändå vill ge visst stöd eller åtminstone uttrycka en medvetenhet från moderbolagets sida om den givna krediten.

Straffrätten har tidigare varit inriktad huvudsakligen på vedergällning efter förtjänst. Numera är dock prevention ett alltmer dominerande inslag som genomsyrar hela rättsapparaten. Brott och skada ska i största möjliga utsträckning förebyggas, både på polisiär nivå och lagstiftningsnivå. Uppsatsen tar sikte på självständiga kriminaliseringar av gärningar som i sig själva inte innebär någon skada,The Swedish Criminal Law has traditionally been based on retribution. In modern times, however, it seems that prevention has been given a much larger role in the Criminal Justice System. This essay discusses crimes that do not cause any harm themselves, but where the criminalization aims at preventing that serious harm occurs at a later stage. Three Swedish crimes have been selected as examples: c

Fängelset har sedan länge varit ett mycket aktuellt ämne och är för många en symbol för brott och straff tack vare flera skildringar i litteraturens, filmens och musikens värld. Dess organisation och administration har aldrig varit självklar och fängelset har flera gånger reformerats. Ett fascinerande fängelsesystem hette Panopticon och utvecklades i slutet av 1700-talet av den brittiske filosofenThe history of prisons is ancient and the prison is still a current topic. Its up-to-date popularity is most likely a product of the many tales in literature, film, and music reflecting the prison and life behind bars. The organization and administration of prisons have never been set in stone, and have lived through a number of various reforms. One fascinating prison system is the one named Panop

Oroande få våldtäkter leder idag till en fällande dom. Mörkertalet befaras dessutom vara stort. Våldtäkt i sig är ett brott som utgör en kränkning av EKMR, och varje person vars mänskliga rättigheter kränks skall, enligt Artikel 13 EKMR, ha tillgång till ett effektivt rättsmedel inför en nationell myndighet. Sverige har fått emotta internationell kritik för den låga uppklarningsprocenten vad gälle

Styrelsen i börsföretag i Sverige ska som huvudregel ha ett revisionsutskott, men under vissa omständigheter kan styrelsen som helhet istället utföra revisionsutskottets uppgifter. Frågor om revisionsutskott kan hänföras till frågor om bolagsstyrning. Revisionsutskottet hör till styrelsen och dess uppgift är att bereda styrelsens arbete med kontroll av bolagets finansiella rapportering.

In this field of research, plenty explanations for the success of these parties have been presented.

In today's modern society, there is a trend that different societal functions are more interconnected, both by the use of technology and by shared service providers. The amount of connections in the societal system makes it impossible, without a tool, to take all consequential effects of a perturbation in consideration. The concept of urban flows is previously developed to help resolve this is

Explaining the foundation in est

While democracies have existed in various forms for quite some time, e-democracies have only recently begun to surface all around the world. While „democracy‟ is still at the core, exactly what e-democracies entail is to some extent uncertain. In this thesis I explore e-democracies by applying a theoretical model on two cases, Eskilstuna and Malmö. By constructing a model with inspirations from so

Uppsatsen syftar till att klargöra när en underprisöverlåtelse som innehåller moment av arbetsersättning respektive motprestation i form av en arbetsinsats kan genomföras. Enligt 23 kap. IL ska en underprisöverlåtelse inte medföra direkta beskattningskonsekvenser för de inblandade parterna. En förutsättning för att regelverket ska bli tillämpligt är dock att överlåtelsen sker till underpris. Det ä

I ett aktiebolag eller motsvarande bolagsform med begränsat ansvar för aktieägarna står aktiekapitalet i centrum. Lagstadgat krav på aktiekapital har förekommit i somliga rättsordningar. I vissa länder har kapitalkravet eftergetts. I detta arbete kommer att göras en komparativ jämförelse mellan Tysklands, Storbritanniens, Sveriges och EU:s aktiebolagsformer med avseende på minsta kapitalkravet i bIn a limited liability company or similar corporate form with limited liability for the shareholders the legal capital plays an important role.

This theory follows the approach of Allen Buchanan and Wayne Norman and their formulation of just cause theory of secession. The theory is based on the Just War tradition, which provides the moral foundation for its arguments. This study take

The development of the European Union can be crucial for understanding possibilities for change in state sovereignty. Whether the European Union holds some characteristics that are otherwise incorporated in the notion of the state can be examined by looking at foreign policy, which is regarded as a central feature of sovereignty. The changing perceptions of European foreign policy by the European
