| Innhold: | Abstract
This article is a summary of a speech given at the 10Cfh anniversary of the Swedish Association of Criminalists (Svenska Kriminalist/oreningen). The historicaldevelopment of the Swedish prison population from its beginning until today isbriefly described. The author argues that a considerable proportion of the increase in the Swedish prison population during the last 50 years is due to repressive policies concerning narcotic drugs. These policies not only increase theprison population, but also cause hundreds of deaths each year. Less repressivedrug policies would therefore both decrease the number of prisoners and savelives. |
