| Innhold: | Abstract
A comparative study of preventive detention in Norway, Denmark and Greenland reveals both similarities and dissimilarities in the organisation of this criminal sanction. By examining legislation and practice and interpreting this in relation
to the overall context of criminal justice, the paper seeks to identify similarities and dissimilarities in the three countries. The study shows that the legal circumstances required for a sentence of preventive detention are similar in all
three nations. Nonetheless, there are considerable differences in the extent to
which preventive detention is used. These differences reflect differences in the status the sanction holds in each country. While the type of crimes that lead to preventive detention are quite similar, there are substantial differences in how long offenders are kept in preventive detention and how the process towards release is organised. While the arrangement of preventive detention in Denmark and Greenland is quite easily adjustable to the prevailing sense of public justice, the Norwegian arrangement seems to put more weight on ensuring the legal protection of offenders. The context of interpretation is decisive for what is considered advantageous or not in the organisation of preentive detention in the three countries. |
