Omkring 60 nordiske kriminologer mødtes med inviterede gæster fra de baltiske lande, Rusland, England og USA under hovedtemaerne "Organised Crime" og "Crime Prevention - what works?". Aktuel og igangværende forskning fra de nordiske lande blev derudover præsenteret under temaerne: "Crime Trends", "Økonomisk kriminalitet", "Alternativ til straffsystem", "Straffsystem", "Fängelseforskning" og "Crime Prevention". Denne rapport består af arbejdspapirer, der blev præsenteret på seminaret. Seminarets internationale skær afspejler sig i en god del engelsksprogede papirer. Papirerne er samlet i den rækkefølge, de blev præsenteret på seminaret, sådan som det fremgår af programmet, der er optrykt først i rapporten. Oplæg fra Lawrence W. Sherman (USA) er bilagt bagest i rapporten i form af artiklen "Preventing Crime: What Works, What Doesn't, What's Promising", Research in Brief, National Institute of Justice, July 1998, som NSfK har fået tilladelse til at trykke i rapporten. Artiklen er, såvel som hele den bagvedliggende forskningsrapport, tilgængelig på internettet på adressen http://www.preventingcrime.org. Årets forskerseminar var rigt på gode oplevelser. Det gælder for det første gode faglige oplevelser. En væsentlig del af de faglige oplevelser videregiver NSfK til rapportens læsere. Men en anden væsentlig faglig del af seminaret udkommer ikke i skriftlig form. Det gælder de vigtige spørgsmål, der blev rejst og diskuteret i tilknytning til de enkelte foredrag. For det andet var seminaret rigt på oplevelser, der finder sted i et samspil med faglige og sociale elementer. Det gælder de nye personlige og faglige kontakter, der knyttes imellem forskere på tværs af de nordiske kriminologiske miljøer, samt de etablerede kontakter, der holdes vedlige. En særlig mulighed for at knytte kontakt til fjernere kriminologiske miljøer bød sig i år. Den mulighed greb mange. Forskerseminaret blev i 1998 arrangeret af de finske rådsmedlemmer og kontaktsekretær i samarbejde med rådsmedlemmer og kontaktsekretærer fra de øvrige nordiske lande samt med NSfK's danske sekretariat. Tak for en stor indsats til alle foredragsholdere og bidragsydere. Tak til de finske arrangører og til sekretariatets medhjælpere!

  • Doing Their Own Thing Stockholm During the 1970S Squatting Movements in Copenhagen and Stockholm During the 1970S
    Social Movements in the Nordic Countries since 1900 89 Natasha Vall links: Natasha Vall rechts: Squatting Movements in Copenhagen and Doing their own Thing Stockholm during the 1970s Squatting Movements in Copenhagen and Stockholm during the 1970s Abstract This article offers a comparative assessment of squatting and urban occupation in two Nordic cities, focussing upon the much profiled example of Christiania in Copenhagen and the lesser moment of squatter agitation in southern Stockholm during the 1970s. Firstly it examines the two cases against a backdrop of crises in the Nordic welfare state, and especially its housing model. Secondly the article places the experience of Chris- tiania and Stockholm within the context of both the 1960s counterculture, as well as the community activism of the 1970s. Finally the comparison of Christiania Free Town in Copenhagen and the quarter Mullvaden in Stockholm emphasises the importance of creative practices to squatting and community activism during the 1970s. This theme has often formed the background of traditional studies of the political struggles mobilised by squats. However, the following discussion reveals that creative activists often played a significant role in forging international networks that carried the ambitions of alternative living beyond their local contexts. During the 1970s grass roots movements emerged in European cities whose protagonists occupied and squatted vacant and forgotten buildings. City spaces in flux, abandoned or awaiting redevelopment by municipal governments distracted by their preoccupa- tion with the newly emerging problem of suburban anomie, were rich pickings for a youth movement that gave expression to a sense of urban dislocation symptomatic of the transition to post-industrial society.

The “promiscuous” and the “shy”: Denmark and Norway - A historic comparative analysis of pornography legislation Inga Margrete Ydersbond University of Oslo, Norway [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper seeks to explain why the two neighbouring Nordic countries Norway and Denmark, despite many political and cultural similarities, have had very different legal frameworks regulating pornography. Denmark was the first country in the world legalizing both literary (1967) and pictorial pornography (1969). Norway, on the other hand, to this date has had one of Europe’s strictest regulations, and legalized “hardcore” pornography as late as in 2006. Through combining the method of “most similar designs” with process tracing, this paper makes a historical comparative analysis of the political development leading to the different legislative outcomes. The paper argues that there are several reasons why the countries’ legislations represent opposite ends of the spectre in Europe. First, Christian conservative values have been much more widespread in Norway than in Denmark, as seen by an influential Christian Conservative party and massive popular resistance against liberalization in the four decades after World War 2.

  • Pornography, Sex Crime, and Public Policy
    Pornography, Sex Crime, and Public Policy PORNOGRAPHY, SEX CRIME, AND PUBLIC POLICY Berl Kutchinsky Professor of Criminology Institute of Criminology and Criminal Science University of Copenhagen Denmark PORNOGRAPHY IS A CURIOUS EXAMPLE OF AN ISSUE WHICH HAS GROWN VERY quickly from a state of insignificance to become a major social issue¾at least in some parts of the world. From the very beginning¾in the early 1960s¾of what has been termed the 'modern pornography wave', there has been controversy over nearly all aspects of the topic: definition, amounts and contents of material, uses and users, economy and, most importantly, effects. This paper outlines the development of pornography in a historical perspective and from a Danish point of view. It will then deal with the issue of the possible effects of pornography on sexual offences. Historical Background Erotic art is probably as old as art itself. Sexual themes appear in the artistic creations of all times and cultures. The first erotic paintings, sculptures and writings were probably produced by the first painters, sculptors and writers in the early youth of humanity, and every milestone in the arts usually saw new developments in the field of erotica. For example, Johann Gutenberg developed the art of printing around 1448, and one of the very first books to appear in print was Il Decamerone, Boccacio's erotic masterpiece. Suppression of freedom of the press¾a phenomenon which is a significant part of the history of eroticism¾followed immediately after. In 1497, sections of the Decameron were thrown into Savonarola's 'bonfire of the vanities' in Florence.

Dienstbier A personality model approach helps sort out the apparent contradictions between the Pornography and Violence Commission fi ndings. During the last decade, the literature on media exposure has been dominated by a single theoretical system of personality functioning—the social learning mod- el. The model emphasizes that the disinhibition of already-learned behavior, the learning of new behaviors, and the establishment of patterns of personality re- sult from observing the behavior of other people (models) and from vicarious re- inforcement upon viewing those models successfully engaging in rewarded se- quences of behavior.

  • Space for Urban Alternatives?
    Space for Urban Alternatives? Christiania is a squatted area in the district of Chris- tianshavn in Copenhagen, located less than one mile from the Royal Danish Palace and the Danish parlia- ment. It stretches over 49 hectares (32, excluding the water in the moats) and consists of old military bar- racks and parts of the city’s ramparts dating from the seventeenth century; as well as a number of build- ings constructed after 1971 (when the Freetown was proclaimed). The area offers city life as well as life in the countryside. Today approximately 900 people live in Christiania. According to the latest public census (2003), 60 per cent of these were male and 20 per cent were under 18 years old. Further, 60 per cent had el- ementary school as their highest level of education. While there is a group with a substantial registered in- come, two-thirds of the population either receive so- cial assistance or have no registered income. The Free- town is divided into 14 self-governing areas and all decisions affecting the whole of Christiania are taken by the Common Meeting, which is ruled by consen- sus democracy.
