When Punishment Begins at Home
Norway’s correctional geography has shifted dramatically, with 40% of “unconditional prison sentences” now being served exclusively via front-door electronic monitoring (EM). This turn to EM aims to reduce negative consequences of imprisonment, but how is EM experienced by those punished this way? Through interviews with EM-clients, this study analyzes penal experiences along Sexton’s framework of penal consciousness and Todd-Kvam’s framework of …
The exceptional story of life imprisonment in Norway
This article examines how life imprisonment was introduced, implemented and then ultimately abolished in Norway, with little controversy or debate, in 1981. We place this story of life imprisonment within the context of broader theoretical and empirical debates on Nordic penal exceptionalism and the abolition of life sentences, both nationally and internationally. The article is the first to engage theoretically with how two forms of exceptionali…
Quality of life whilst ageing in opioid agonist treatment
Patients experience OAT as both lifesaving as well as potentially limiting their life-quality, illustrating the inbuilt dilemmas of OAT. The study suggests an age-informed treatment model and identifies three thematic implications for practice and further research (on memory issues, victimisation and network-building)
Parole is worse than doing time’
Norway uses indefinite post-conviction detention, or forvaring, as its most severe penal sanction. This article will be the first to describe how people who have served a forvaring sentence experience conditional release on parole. We develop an analytical framework that builds on the ‘pains of imprisonment’ literature and Sexton's work on penal consciousness. Based on interviews with eight people who have been released from forvaring under the s…
The Evolution and Implementation of Norway’s Ultimate Penalty
Though formal life sentences have been abolished in Norway, forvaring (post-conviction indefinite preventive detention) – a type of informal life sentence – can be imposed on individuals convicted of certain offenses who are considered to be at high risk of future offending. While great attention has been paid to Norway as an “exceptional” penal outlier globally, there is a notable lack of comprehensive knowledge about its indefinite penal sancti…
Louise Brangan, The Politics of Punishment
Talking Good
Despite significant research interest in Norwegian penality, there remains much to be learned about how people in Norway experience life during and after punishment. This article is one of the first to explore the lived experience of desistance as narrated by Norwegian desisters. We analyse ‘small stories’ that either opened up or frustrated the co-creation of change, showing how desistance develops (or is stymied) at a micro level. Our analytica…
Probation practice, desistance and the penal field in Norway
While Scandinavia in general and Norway in particular have been the focus of much criminological interest, the work of probation has largely been overlooked in favour of prisons. This article seeks therefore to contribute to our knowledge of Norwegian penality and desistance by analysing how probation caseworkers describe their practice. Caseworkers have a relational, contextualised understanding of probation clients and the challenges they face.…
An Unpaid Debt to Society
The Scandinavian exceptionalism literature has highlighted the relatively progressive and rehabilitative nature of imprisonment in Norway, with the Norwegian Correctional Services taking the view that those convicted of crimes have paid their debt to society at the end of their sentence. However, other parts of the Norwegian state take a more stringent view, imposing and enforcing significant and persistent debts on offenders. This article, based…
Bordered penal populism
Penality in Scandinavia has been seen as somewhat of an outlier, a redoubt against the punitive turn witnessed in other parts of Western Europe and the United States. This article examines contemporary discourses of penality in Norway following the entry into government of the populist-right Progress Party. The analysis describes how government representatives frame themselves as protecting individual security and prioritising victims whilst purs…
