| Tittel: | Stefan Holgersson: Ursäkta, men vi är faktiskt POLISEN och vi står över lagen! | | Ansvar: | Abby Peterson | | Forfatter: | Peterson, Abby  | | Materialtype: | Artikkel - elektronisk | | Signatur: | Nordisk politiforskning | | Utgitt: | Oslo : Universitetsforlaget, 2019 | | Omfang: | S. 85-87 | | Serie: | Nordisk politiforskning ; 1/2019 | | Emneord: | Bokanmeldelse / Politi | | Geografiske emneord: | Sverige | | Innhold: | As the title suggests, Excuse me, but we’re actually the POLICE and we’re above the law!, Stefan Holgersson’s latest report is a well-documented, whilst rather hodgepodge, disclosure of the Swedish Police authority’s flagrant and pervasive violations of the laws regarding public access to government documents. Stefan Holgersson is dammed angry! In the report he vents his frustrations with the police who have time and again withheld public documents and/or stonewalled his petitions to access public documents. Obviously, these actions on the part of the police have undermined his and other police scholars’ research, in the same way that withholding public documents undermines the work of critical journalists. What is at stake is transparency—the backbone of democracy and the rule of law. Let us take a look at Transparency International’s definition of transparency. | | Del av verk: | Nordisk politiforskning 1/2019 |
