    Open AccessLiisa Lähteenmäki, Anne Alvesalo et al.ARTICLEJournal of Language and Politics2021References: 24

    Since the 1980s, debates on security have expanded and security has become a catchphrase in virtually every area of life. In Finland, the government elected in 2003 began its four-year period in power by launching a special Internal Security Programme (ISP) that stressed the threat of social exclusion. Altogether four ISPs have been launched in Finland since2004. They all repeat the menace of social exclusion. In this article, we examine how thes…

    The activities of criminal justice systems focus almost entirely upon the crimes of the relatively powerless. If this relative downplaying of the crimes of the powerful is both a ubiquitous and long-term phenomenon, it has become more pronounced in a period marked by 'globalization', within which states are less rather than more likely to regulate business. In this research note, we report upon a recent initiative in Finland, aimed at controlling…

    In 1996, the Finnish government initiated an Action Plan aimed at the more effective control of economic crime and the grey economy, involving wide-scale reform in legislation, regulatory agencies, enforcement practice, and research activities.

First, what were the economic, social and political factors that produced this …

  • Can Economic Crime Control be Sustained? The Case of Finland

    Anne Alvesalo, Anne Alvesalo-Kuusi et al.ARTICLEInnovation The European Journal…2001Cited by: 2

    In this paper, we present some findings from research conducted in Finland on the emergence and nature of the Finnish government's Action Plans to Reduce Economic Crime and the Grey Economy. We set out the origins of the Finnish economic crime control programme, a programme that, if not unique, is peculiar in its concerted effort to attack this particular form of crime. We then address at length the prospects of such a programme - which has had s…
