Life Imprisonment in Scandinavia LIFE IMPRISONMENT IN SCANDINAVIA: THE ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT IN THE PENAL ENVIRONMENTS OF DENMARK, FINLAND, AND SWEDEN By Doris Schartmueller A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Northern Arizona University August 2015 Approved: Professor Frederic I. Solop, Ph.D., Chair Professor Jacqueline Vaughn, Ph.D. Professor Neil Websdale, Ph.D. Professor Matti Tolvanen, Doctor of Laws ABSTRACT LIFE IMPRISONMENT IN SCANDINAVIA: THE ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT IN THE PENAL ENVIRONMENTS OF DENMARK, FINLAND, AND SWEDEN DORIS SCHARTMUELLER In the Scandinavian countries Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, criminal offenders convicted of murder and a select few other serious crimes can be sentenced to life in prison. Yet, life sentences are rarely imposed, even in the case of murder, and typically do not mean that the offenders sentenced to life will really remain imprisoned for the rest of their lives. Instead, life imprisonment rarely exceeds fifteen years behind bars in all three countries. This practice raises the question of why life sentences remain a sentencing option for criminal offenders in these countries when, in practice, life sentences are not true-life sentences. By treating life imprisonment as a complex social institution that has continuously been impacted by large cultural and political processes, I will trace the similarities and differences in the imposition of life sentences, conditions of confinement for life-imprisoned offenders, and lifer release over time in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. Through comparative historical research, media report analyses, and interviews with actors in criminal justice institutions, I will explore to what extent the meaning of life imprisonment in the countries’ wider penal environments has changed over time and what role the ultimate form of punishment now plays in contemporary political and media debates. Keywords: Scandinavian penal policy, sociology of punishment, life imprisonment, conditions of confinement, prison release mechanisms ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation developed out of the many interesting classes I took over the course of my graduate career at Northern Arizona University and my genuine interest in the Scandinavian cultures and languages. Working on this specific project over the past few years has been a challenging but fascinating academic experience. Overall, it would never have been possible without the guidance of my advisor and dissertation chair, Dr. Frederic I. Solop. His untiring support was paramount on my entire graduate path, including my dissertation writing process. While he has helped me to stay focused throughout, he has always encouraged me to pursue my own interest. He has also taught me so many lessons on academic research, which I am immensely grateful for. I thank him so much for all his time, guidance, and continuous encouragement at every step of this journey. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to my other dissertation committee members. I would like to thank Dr. Jacqueline Vaughn for her valuable feedback on my writing and her help with setting up the interviews for this project. I have also learned so much from Dr. Neil Websdale about the importance and depth of theory over the past few years, and his perspectives have helped me to strengthen my work and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the future. Finally, this dissertation would also not have been possible without the valuable insight of Dr. Matti Tolvanen. With his expertise in law and Scandinavian penality, his comments and questions throughout the writing and defense process were extremely important for this project. Last but not least, I would like to thank my parents, Margit and Karl. I would never have enjoyed so many opportunities in life without their support and encouragement. Never did they lose faith in me. To them I dedicate this dissertation. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT ...................................................................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ................................................................................................................................ iii TABLE OF CONTENTS .................................................................................................................................... iv LIST OF TABLES ........................................................................................................................................... viii LIST OF FIGURES ........................................................................................................................................... ix PREFACE ........................................................................................................................................................ x CHAPTER I: STUDYING AND COMPARING TYPES OF PUNISHMENT WITHIN SOCIETIES .............................. 1 I.A.

  • Sweden: Extremism and Terrorism
    Sweden: Extremism and Terrorism On July 31, 2021, Roger Haddad, the deputy chair of the education committee in Sweden’s Parliament, announced that the Romosseskolan school, an Islamic school in Gothenburg, should be shut down because of its “connection to extremism.” The students are reportedly subject to gender segregation in lessons and are required to take part in prayer sessions. After public funding was cut for the school in June, the Islamic Association of Sweden (IFiS), which has been described as a hub for Muslim Brotherhood members, continued to pay the teachers. Gothenburg is particularly vulnerable to radicalization and violent extremism as more than a third of Swedish ISIS fighters have come from the city. (Source: The National) Swedish authorities have also been grappling with terrorists who have come into the country to plot terror attacks. In April 2021, Sweden’s security police arrested Salma K. and Fouad M. for conspiracy to commit a criminal terrorist act in Sweden. The suspects, who claimed they were Afghan refugees, entered Sweden in 2015. However, upon investigation, the Swedish Security Service (SAPO) confirmed the two were not Afghani nationals but were more likely of Iranian nationality and possibly traveled to Europe as a terrorism “sleeper cell.” According to media sources, the two began planning to carry out an attack in January 2021 and are possibly connected to the security agencies of the Islamic Republic of Iran. According to SAPO, Iran’s regime conducts intelligence and espionage operations in Sweden. (Sources: Jerusalem Post, Iran Wire) There have also been “lone wolf” terror attacks resulting in casualties in Sweden.

  • Services to Citizens in the EU in Facts and Figures
    161/2007 - 27 November 2007 Consumers in Europe Services to citizens in the EU in facts and figures How many EU households have only mobile phones? For how long do they talk per day on their mobile phones? How many inhabitants are served by each post office in the Member States? How many Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) are there per inhabitant in the EU? How do Europeans prefer to pay for their purchases? Answers to these questions and many more can be found in the publication1 "Consumers in Europe – facts and figures", jointly published by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities and the General Directorate Health & Consumer Protection of the European Commission. This third edition of "Consumers in Europe" focuses on network industries providing services of general interest to the European consumers. These services are utilities such as transport, energy, water, electricity, telecommunications, internet, postal services and banking services, which play a fundamental role in the economic and social lives of citizens. Nearly one mobile phone subscription per inhabitant in the EU27 in 2005 The number of mobile telephone subscriptions2 has increased almost fourteen times between 1996 and 2005 in the EU27, from 7 subscriptions per 100 inhabitants in 1996 to 96 in 2005. In 2005, thirteen Member States had more than 100 mobile phone subscriptions per 100 inhabitants. Luxembourg (158), Lithuania (127), Italy (122), the Czech Republic (115) and Portugal (111) registered the highest ratios and Romania (62), Poland (76), France (77) and Bulgaria (80) the lowest. In contrast, the number of fixed telephone lines per 100 inhabitants in the EU27 has only increased slightly in this period, from 43 lines per 100 inhabitants in 1996 to 48 in 2005.

  • Med Röda Betar Och Betäckt Svans
    MED RÖDA BETAR OCH BETÄCKT SVANS Anteckningar om en nedtystad affär, Lennart Geijers eskapader, Olof Palmes dementier, 1944 års män och en utsökt memoarbok av Mats Parner ¤¤¤ Det var först vid 3-tiden på eftermiddagen den 17 november 1977, som DN-reportern Peter Bratt fick telefonkontakt med Leif GW, dåvarande polischefen Carl Perssons högra hand och en redan på den tiden exceptionellt verbal herre. Samtalet handlade inledningsvis om TV-profilen och musikkritikern Sigvard Hammar, internt kallad ”Ondskan på hjul” och nyss dömd till sex månader bakom lås och bom för medhjälp till koppleri. Närmare bestämt hade Sigvard H bistått den (ö)kända bordellmamman Hopp i dennas lukrativa näringsfång. I det välförsedda Doris Hoppstallet rymdes omkring fyrtio prostituerade, varav två jäntor i 14- 15-årsåldern. Allt detta var kända fakta. Men Leif GW satt också inne med sensationella nyheter. Efter de inledande telefonpreludierna lät han Bratt få veta att högste chefen, Carl Persson, redan den 21 augusti 1976 lämnat över en hemlig promemoria med ovanligt explosiv Hoppanknytning direkt till statsminister Palme och inrikesminister G Punkt Peterson. Av denna promemoria framgick särskilt, enligt Leif GW, att justitieminister Lennart Geijer sedan länge misstänkts för intimt samröre både med Hopp själv och fr a med delar av hennes könsensemble. Detta innebar i sin tur, såvida misstankarna kunde styrkas, att konungariket Sveriges officielle justitieminister eventuellt var en säkerhetsrisk … eftersom några av kvinnorna i Hoppcirkusen kom från Polen och stod i regelbunden kontakt med sitt hemlands Stockholmsambassad. På så vis kunde Geijer bli offer för avancerad utpressning. Carl Persson insisterade på att regeringen skulle prioritera ärendet och gå till botten med hela affären.
