The principle of legality in criminal law demands that there must be support in law for an act to constitute a crime and for penalties to be imposed. When the Swedish Supreme Court for the first time was to apply the range of punishment for murder since it changed in July 2014 the principle of legality was of major interest. The Supreme Court chose to ignore the change from 2014 on the grounds tha
Barns bevittnande av brott mellan närstående är ett problem som flera gånger diskuterats inom svensk straffrätt. De bevittnande barnen riskerar att påverkas psykiskt och fysiskt på kort såväl som på lång sikt och en kriminalisering av att utsätta barn för ett sådant bevittnande har berörts av lagstiftarna vid flera tillfällen. Lagstiftaren har tidigare inte ansett att en kriminalisering har varit Children witnessing crimes between family members is a problem that has been discussed multiple times in Swedish criminal law. These children can be affected psychologically and physically in both the short and long term, and lawmakers have touched upon criminalizing the exposure of children to this type of behavior several times. Lawmakers previously did not consider criminalization necessary and
Den svenska offentliga sektorn har under de senaste decennierna varit föremål för en rad förändringar vars konsekvenser satt sina spår i många av dess verksamheter. Förändringsprocessens startskott skedde redan på 1980-talet och den offentliga sektorn präglas sedan dessa allt mer av ökad privatisering, konkurrensutsättning, (de)centralisering och ökade krav på effektivisering. Samtliga ovanstående

The crown witness system was implemented in Sweden on July 1, 2022. The system constitutes under Swedish law as a mitigation of a sentence for suspects who cooperate in the investigation of another's crime. However, its integration into the Swedish penalty system raises questions regarding its coherence. The working hypothesis in the thesis is that the crown witness system does not fit into t
The one who has incurred disgrace upon the community must die. To pre-serve glory is what matters the most within the culture of honour. Since the turn of the millennium there have been about ten noted honour killings in Sweden, and despite everyone who has fought and are fighting against honour-related violence and oppression it still largely occurs to this day. Since July 1st, 2020, the court
Med utgångspunkt i en rättsanalytisk metod syftar denna uppsats till att utreda förhållandet mellan bestämmelsen om grundlagsskadestånd och allmänna principer inom skadeståndsrätten. För att besvara detta, utreds inledningsvis gällande rättsläge kring förutsättningarna för grundlagsskadestånd. Grundlagsskadestånd blir aktuellt när det allmänna, vilket inkluderar staten, regioner och kommuner, öveBy a legal dogmatic method, this thesis intents to investigate the relationship between the provision on constitutional tort and general principles within the law of tort. To answer this, the current legal situation regarding the conditions for constitutional tort is initially examined. Constitutional tort becomes relevant when the public sector, including the state, regions, and municipalities, v
The regulation on rape in Sweden has been subject to several major reforms, including the introduction of the requirement of voluntariness on 1st of July 2018. This essay aims to examine the interpretation of the voluntariness re-quirement in cases where the defendant and the plaintiff have a history of pri-or sexual contact. The study mainly focuses on how the courts use infor-mation about the pa
This thesis analyses the 2023 Swedish legislative reform that introduces a mandatory minimum prison sentence of six months for drug dealing, as stipu-lated in the Penal Law on Narcotics Offences (narkotikastrafflagen). The re-form forms part of a broader strategy against gang-related crime and open drug markets, with explicit governmental expectations of greater deterrence, disruption of criminal
Korruption är ett globalt och frekvent förekommande problem. Genom nationella rättsakter med långtgående extraterritoriell jurisdiktion som till exempel amerikanska The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, bekämpas korruption numera på ett gränsöverskridande tillvägagångssätt. Detta medför att företag vid till exempel inträde på en ny marknad omsorgsfullt måste undersöka under vilka lands lagar Corruption is a global problem. Through national legislation with far-reaching extraterritorial jurisdiction such as the U.S. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, fighting corruption has now a transnational approach. This means for example, that companies who will enter a new market must carefully examine, under which countries´ law a company can be considered to have a criminal responsibili

I 29 kap. 1 § brottsbalken anges att straffet för ett brott ska bestämmas inom ramen för den tillämpliga straffskalan efter brottets straffvärde. Straffvärdet för ett brott kan anses spegla brottets allvarlighet och flera omständigheter kan påverka straffvärdet. I 29 kap. 2 § BrB anges försvårande omständigheter som påverkar straffvärdet i skärpande riktning. Hedersmotiv kan beaktas inom ramen fChapter 29 section 1 of The Swedish Criminal Code, hereafter called SCC, states that the penalty shall be determined within the framework of the applicable scale of penalties according to the penalty value of the offence. The penalty value can be considered a reflection of the seriousness of the offence. There are a number of circumstances which may affect the penalty value. Chapter 29 section 2 S
The Swedish Government wants to fight honor-related crime and believes that the introduction of a special honor crime is a way to further highlight that such violence is unacceptable. Therefore, in July 2019, the Government commissioned a special investigator to analyze and take a position on a special criminal provision that explicitly aims at honor-realtered violence and oppression. The inquiry
On July 1st, 2018, a reform regarding the Swedish sexual offence legislation came into force, which meant that the crime of rape in Chap. 6 § 1 of the Penal Code was constructed around the concept of voluntariness instead of around the concept of coercion. The new offence negligent rape was also introduced in Chap 6. § 1 a of the Penal Code. The paragraph regarding rape is still based on previous
Aron Flam was charged on July 17th, 2020 with copyright infringement. He used an already existing work "En svensk tiger" by Bertil Almqvist and made a parody out of the work that he then used for the cover of his book “Det här är en svensk tiger”. Flam uses his freedom of speech in his book which discusses “silence culture” in Sweden, from a critical perspective. He uses the parody to co
Antalet medborgare inom Europeiska unionen som nyttjar den fria rörligheten ökar konstant. Fler och fler familjer har på något sätt en internationell koppling, ett vanligt exempel är äktenskap mellan två personer med olika medborgarskap. När vardagslivet blivit mer globaliserat och oberoende av nationsgränser blir det ibland problematiskt då lagstiftningen inte anpassats därefter. För bara ett par
