The current crime debate in Sweden surrounds the overarching issue of criminal networks and children’s exploitation by them. In Sweden, younger children are getting involved in serious criminality, carrying out offences for criminal gangs such as murder and aggravated weapons crimes, which has sparked the government’s interest in possible changes to the youth criminal justice system. One of those

This thesis analyses the emergence of judicial tax litigation in Peru as a differentiated professional practice among tax lawyers. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and documentary review, the research reconstructs the process through which certain high-value tax disputes, initially channelled through administrative venues, gradually moved into the Judiciary. The central argument is that this

This paper examines how institutional vulnerabilities are reproduced, institutionalised, and solidified through the translation of legal norms within Japan’s new admission policy, the Employment for Skill Development (ESD) system. Japan has de facto accepted foreign workers for over three decades by granting various residence statuses to address its declining birthrate and labour shortage. However

Crime prevention in Sweden has become decentralised as the municipalities’ responsibility to contribute to the national crime preventive work has been established in law, while still being shared with the state. At the same time, national focus has shifted to organised criminality and the production of the criminal other. The aim of this thesis was to explore how these two policy developments were

In Chinese fan fiction communities, the reporting button was made for flagging inappropriate content, but it has become a weapon in community conflict. An anonymous report can trigger removal or suspension, and those affected receive little explanation of how the decision was made. This thesis names this phenomenon weaponised reporting and asks how it operates and how targets pursue remedies under

This thesis examines how Danish health and welfare authorities framed women in Greenland's (Kalaallit women’s) reproduction as a social problem requiring intervention between 1950 and 1975. Through a socio-legal analysis of 104 pages of archival documents from the Danish National Archives, the study traces the administrative logics that constructed Kalaallit fertility as a governable risk, the

This thesis examines how children navigate redress-seeking for child-abuse grievances in rural Zambia. Using a process-tracing approach grounded in Felstiner, Abel and Sarat’s (1980) naming–blaming–claiming model, the study analyses how redress-seeking emerges, transforms, or dissipates, and identifies the factors that facilitate or constrain these transformations. The research employed a document

This thesis examines how Swedish legal and administrative frameworks governing LKAB’s mining operations have historically produced and reproduced the invisibility of Sámi land use, and how these patterns of exclusion continue to be mobilized within contemporary green transition justifications. Drawing on settler colonial theory and anopticism, the study argues that Sámi exclusion within Swedish re

The ways in which victims of rape are portrayed in news media is important, as they influence public perceptions of blame and responsibility. Media coverage can contribute to victim blaming by emphasising certain behaviours or circumstances, or by framing specific narratives. Despite extensive research on this topic, little is known about how such portrayals are affected by legal change, and how ‘

This thesis examines how freedom of expression and misinformation are governed within contemporary digital environments, focusing specifically on the relationship between platform governance on X and international human rights discourse developed by the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Honor is not formally defined as a legal category in Swedish law, yet it is invoked in court reasoning as both a motive and an aggravating circumstance. In recent years, legal measures have been introduced in Sweden to identify and address honor-based violence (HBV), and since 1 July 2020, increased penalties of crimes committed with an honor motive. At the same time, concerns have been raised tha

This thesis examines to what extent, and in what ways, voluntary prison labor in the Dutch carceral system is part of the fabrication of social order. The fabrication of social order is defined by Mark Neocleous as a massive policing operation by the state to manage the insecure, yet integral heart of the social order, poverty, by enforcing wage labor and domination by capital. Since 2021, prison

This thesis examines how safety is governed in urban policy by analysing the municipality of Groningen’s renewed Actieplan Veilig Uitgaan 2025. Bacchi’s What is the problem represented to be? (WPR) approach is applied to deconstruct how the action plan represents safety as a governance problem, what assumptions make this representation possible, and what is left unproblematised. The analysis draws

This thesis examines the "pan-Asianization" of Chinese restaurants in southern Sweden, the phenomenon of expanding Chinese menus to include sushi or Thai dishes. It aims to explore how this transformation develops under specific institutional pressures and how immigrant entrepreneurs balance economic survival with cultural identity. Adopting ethnographic fieldwork in southern Sweden

Drawing on 8 semi-structured interviews, this thesis explores how self-described feminist men in Sweden negotiate the interplay between their positions as men and feminists, as well as how this process is facilitated and challenged by broader cultural discourses of masculinity and feminism. Specifically, thorough attention is given to the "uniqueness" of the Swedish case, as discourses t

A lot of previous research has studied the effect that social capital has on trust in the police and describe a person's social network as an important part in deciding the level of social capital, but none have analyzed social relationships and interactions by itself. This study examines the association between social relationships and interactions, generalized trust and trust in the police i
