Mimicry and Mobility
This article examines the transnational transfer and adaptation of the concept ‘work-related crime’ (WRC) in the Nordic context, focusing on its movement from Norway to Sweden. Drawing on interviews and document analysis, and employing the policy mobilities literature as a theoretical lens, it discusses how the WRC concept was introduced in Sweden at a time of policy-related uncertainty.

Mobilizing the Rights of Migrant Workers
Migrant workers, both regular and irregular, are at particular risk of having their rights violated.At the same time, there has been an absence of support for exploited immigrant workers from Swedish authorities and civil society.Lately, a number of trade unions and semi-union organisations in Sweden have developed methods to mobilize the rights of migrant workers experiencing exploitation on the Swedish labour market.This article investigates st…
Constructions of migrant victims of labor exploitation in Nordic court cases
The aim of this article is to explore how courts produce certain representations of victims of labor exploitation in the Nordic context based on court judgments from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. To achieve this, we analyze and compare criminal court judgments focused on the exploitation of migrant workers by asking: How are ‘victims’ of labor exploitation represented in Nordic court judgments? What is left unproblematic and silenced? In …

This article presents a study of the theatrical performance in court in a high-profile transnational corporate bribery case. Data gathered from observations in court were supplemented with interviews with the defense teams and the presiding judge. The paper’s objective is to demonstrate how the defendants performed unbelonging in court via the interactions between the different ‘teams’ in the courtroom; the defense, the prosecutors, the judges, a…
Denials and confessions. An analysis of the temporalization of neutralizations of corporate crime
In recent years two Swedish companies, Telia and Lundin Petroleum, have had to work hard to legitimate their actions as a result of allegations of criminal activity. In this paper, the corporate framings employed to deal with allegations of crime will be analysed on the basis of Stanley Cohen's (2009) theoretical work on processes of denial and neutralization techniques. More specifically, the paper focuses on the temporalization of neutralizatio…
From “We Didn’t Do It” to “We’ve Learned Our Lesson
When corporations are faced with accusations of crime, they usually find it necessary to justify their actions to the public, the media and their shareholders. Corporate self-defense, aimed at protecting a corporation’s image and legitimacy, belongs to a broader category of offenders’ denials and neutralizations. The objective of this article is to compile and discuss literature that is of value for an understanding of neutralizations of corporat…

He is especially well-known for his path-breaking criminology textbook (first published in 1924), his promotion of a sociological (and scientific) approach to the understanding of crime and its control, his theory of differential association, and his work over his final ten years on white-collar crime, a term he is credite…
