Gärningsmannaprofilering syftar till att ta reda på vem som har begått ett brott och bygger på antagandet om att gärningspersonens personlighet avspeglas i utförandet av gärningen. I denna bok beskrivs klassiska teorier om gärningsmannaprofilering utifrån psykologisk forskning. Författarna summerar de senaste decenniernas internationella forskning och redogör också för en egenutvecklad profileringsmodell utifrån personlighet, som syftar till att effektivisera framtida förutsägelser och tolkningar av okända gärningspersoners tillvägagångssätt. I modellen kombineras de fem stora personlighetsdragen med skattningar av narcissism och psykopati.Profileringsmodellen illustreras här med hjälp av uppgifter om en redan dömd person - den kvinna som dömdes för det uppmärksammade sommarstugemordet i Arboga 2016. Detta var ett lämpligt val eftersom det finns ett omfattande offentligt material som skildrar henne och som redan har samlats in av andra.Gärningsmannaprofilering riktar sig främst till universitetsstuderande i rättspsykologi och psykologi men är också en kunskapskälla för yrkesverksamma som i sitt arbete möter en rättspsykologisk problematik.

Rättegångsbalken innehåller ett flertal olika straffprocessuella tvångsmedel som an-vänds i brottsutredande syfte och för att man ska kunna få till stånd en rättegång vid misstanke om brott. Mest känt är troligen polisens rätt att gripa en person vilket i sin förlängning kan leda till anhållande och häktning. Som andra exempel kan nämnas reseförbud, kvarstad, beslag, husrannsakan, kroppsvisitation och kroppsbesiktning. Utöver detta finns även hemliga tvångsmedel. Till dessa räknas hemlig avlyssning av elektronisk kommunikation, hemlig övervakning av elektronisk kommunikation, hemlig kameraövervakning och hemlig rumsavlyssning. Då en utredning inleds vet man ofta inte vem som har begått brottet, men man kan ha mer eller mindre starka misstankar. Styrkan i misstanken, misstankegraden, styr möjligheten att använda sig av de ovan nämnda tvångsmedlen. I denna åttonde upplaga har jag beaktat lagändringar, JO-fall och rättsfall fram till den 1 januari 2026. De lagändringar som har skett har först och främst ägt rum i 24, 27 och 28 kap. Utöver detta har jag väsentligt utökat avsnittet om lag (2007:979) om åtgärder för att förhindra vissa särskilt allvarliga brott. Möjligheterna att använda hemliga och preventiva tvångsmedel är många gånger avgörande för att förebygga, förhindra och utreda allvarlig brottslighet. Det gäller oavsett hur gammal gärningsmannen är. För att stärka de brottsbekämpande myndigheternas möjligheter att bekämpa allvarlig brottslighet som begås av barn har i LUL införts bestämmelser som tillåter att hemliga tvångsmedel får användas för att utreda vissa allvarliga brott där den skäligen misstänkte är under 15 år. Lagändringarna trädde i kraft den 1 oktober 2025. Även dessa regler i LUL behandlas i denna upplaga. Juris doktor Gösta Westerlund – före detta universitetslektor vid Handelshögskolan vid Göteborgs universitet och före detta huvudlärare vid Polishögskolan i Sörentorp förklarar i denna bok bestämmelserna och hur de ska tillämpas. Boken har skrivits på ett sådant sätt, att den ska kunna användas av elever på våra polishögskolor, yrkesverksamma poliser, civila utredare inom polisen men även av andra verk-samma inom rättsväsendet samt inte minst av en kunskapstörstande allmänhet. Westerlund, som skrivit flera uppskattade läroböcker, kan som få förena den praktiska verkligheten med rättsvetenskaplig noggrannhet och skärpa.

Today's police agencies are in a period of both crisis and reform as they try to improve their ability to deliver public safety to citizens in ways that are effective, legitimate, and sustainable. Evidence-based policing offers one such solution - an approach which emphasises the value that research can bring to police officers and, by extension, the public they serve.However, evidence-based policing is not just about the process of understanding and evaluating police practices. It is also about translating and using that knowledge in daily police activities. This unique book examines the scientific evidence for the effectiveness of various police practices and provides tools to help turn research into practice. Part I gives a practitioner's definition of evidence-based policing, a primer on how to judge and interpret research findings, and a review of the Evidence-Based Policing Matrix, a tool for translating research on police crime control interventions. In Part II the authors review the breadth of knowledge about policing interventions for people, places, communities, and technology, focusing on how to optimize operations based on this information. Tools and ideas that can assist in implementing evidence-based practices into patrol, investigations, supervision, management, crime analysis, and leadership are provided in Part III. Finally, in Part IV the authors speak to researchers about how they might continue to work with police agencies to advance evidence-based policing.

Den här boken tar sig an frågan om polisens samhällsuppdrag och hur målen för polisen uppfattas av olika parter. Boken handlar om polisen som den som både öppnar och stänger dörren till rättsväsendet, liksom hur polisens auktoritet utövas, vilka maktmedel som brukas och om balansgången mellan legitim kontroll och överkontroll. Sist men inte minst handlar den om hur polisens verksamhet kan eller bör fungera. Polis – vad är det? är en översättning och omarbetning av Liv Finstads bok Hva er politi som gavs ut på norska 2018.Boken vänder sig i första hand till studerande vid polisutbildningen men fungerar även utmärkt som litteratur i andra professionsutbildningar, exempelvis inom kriminologi eller socialt arbete, som leder till yrken som på olika sätt samverkar med polisen. Myndigheter är också en given målgrupp liksom den som bara har ett intresse av att veta mer om polisen i samhället.

Winner of the Duff Cooper Prize 2023A Telegraph Book of the YearA Times, Spectator and Prospect Book of the YearOne of the great contemporary historians of France on one of the most controversial periods of twentieth-century French historyFew images more shocked the French population during the Occupation than the photograph of Marshal Philippe Pétain - the great French hero of the First World War - shaking the hand of Hitler on 20 October 1940. In a radio speech after this meeting, Pétain told the French people that he was 'entering down the road of collaboration'. He ended with the words: 'This is my policy. My ministers are responsible to me. It is I alone who will be judged by History.' Five years later, in July 1945, the hour of judgement - if not yet the judgement of History - arrived. Pétain was brought before a specially created High Court to answer for his conduct between the signing of the armistice with Germany in June 1940 and the Liberation of France in August 1944.Julian Jackson uses Pétain's three-week trial as a lens through which to examine the central crisis of twentieth-century French history - the defeat of 1940, the signing of the armistice and Vichy's policy of collaboration - what the main prosecutor Mornet called 'four years to erase from our history'. As head of the Vichy regime in the Second, Pétain became one of France's most notorious public figures, and the lightening-rod for collective guilt and retribution immediately after the Second World War. In France on Trial Jackson blends politics and personal drama to explore how different national factions sought to try to claim the past, or establish their interpretation of it, as a way of claiming the present and future.

In 1976, the Supreme Court affirmed incarcerated people's right to healthcare under the Eighth Amendment. Wards of the State examines the everyday instantiation of incarcerated people's right to healthcare within a men's maximum-security prison in Pennsylvania. Drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork, Nicholas Iacobelli observes how the prison's medical unit operates as a "ward of the state"—a space that reproduces the state's ideological commitment to punishment through its obligation to provide care. Incarcerated men are also cast as wards of the state, becoming its biological and financial property. These dynamics result in complex systems of dependence, refusal, and skepticism—and troubling ideas of what constitutes health and illness in prison. Despite this, the right to care also opens spaces for men to envision futures and make both personal and structural appeals to justice.

It examines the strategic use of intelligence and its procedural framework. It provides a summary of the role of the intelligence analyst, establishing the characteristics of effective practitioners. Part Two describes good practice and explains the practical tools and techniques that effective analysts use in the reduction and investigation of crime. Part Three examines more recent developments in intelligence analysis and looks to the future. This includes the move to multi-agency working, the advent of big data and the role of AI and machine learning. Filled with case studies and practical examples, this book is essential reading for all undergraduates and postgraduates taking courses in Professional Policing, and Criminal Justice more widely. It will also be of interest to existing practitioners in this field.

Ordningsstörningar – ofta i förening med våld och skadegörelse – sker ibland av deltagare i folksamlingar. Olika persongrupper, där deltagarna inte alltid är nyktra, väljer att störa allmän ordning genom att tillgripa våld för att protestera mot vad de upplever som orättvisor i samhället. Vid dessa tillfällen riktar sig våldet inte sällan mot ”blåljuspersonal” (läs polisverksamhet, räddningstjänst och t o m ambulanssjukvård). I denna femte upplaga av boken, som är kraftigt omarbetad främst p g a det tilltagande våldet i vårt samhälle, har vi försökt ge en så heltäckande bild som möjligt av de lagrum som då kan bli tillämpliga. För att göra det så överskådligt som möjligt har vi delat in boken i sex avdelningar. - Avd l innehåller de viktigaste grundlagarna. - Avd ll innehåller andra viktiga lagar som t ex Rättegångsbalken, Polislagen, Ordningslagen och la-gen om ”maskeringsförbud”. - Avd lll innehåller lagar om farliga föremål som t ex handgranater, skjutvapen, knivar men även lagen om omhändertagande av berusade personer. - Avd lV innehåller brott mot BrB. Här kan främst nämnas 13:5 c om sabotage mot blåljusverksamhet, 16:1–3 om upplopp, våldsamt upplopp och ohörsamhet mot ordningsmakten. Men även 16:8 om hets mot folkgrupp är av intresse för detta arbete. Sist men inte minst behandlas här även 17:1-2 och 4 om våld eller hot mot tjänsteman, förgripelse mot tjänsteman och våldsamt motstånd. - Avd V, som är helt nytt, behandlar terrorism, stöd från försvarsmakten och skyddslagen. - Avd Vl, slutligen, innehåller två högmålsbrott i BrB, nämligen 18:3 om väpnat hot mot laglig ordning och 18:4 om olovlig kårverksamhet. Författare till boken är före detta universitetslektorn i straffrätt vid Handelshögskolan vid Göteborgs universitet Gösta Westerlund samt Magnus Wahlund och Maria Emanuelsson. Medverkar gör även jur.lic. Anette Strand som kommenterar de båda högmålsbrotten i 18 kap BrB.

Winner of the International Book Award at the 2026 Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards'One of the most incredible and moving books that we've read, ever.' The High Performance Podcast Sitting in the prison classroom each morning, reading the pages in my book, listening to the teacher, I could feel myself slowing down. I had achieved greatness. I had won three Wimbledon titles, two Aussie Opens, the US Open, two Davis Cups, an Olympic gold medal. But where was I now? Either I was some strange exception, a great man surrounded by lesser men, or I was not an exception at all. I fitted right in. And if I did, why was that? Wimbledon champion at 17, six-time Grand Slam winner and former world number one – Boris Becker achieved unparalleled success, fame and wealth throughout his tennis career. But in April 2022, everything changed when he was sentenced to 30 months in prison over bankruptcy charges.Inside offers a raw and unflinching account of Becker’s life behind bars, detailing the brutal realities of surviving two of the UK’s toughest prisons and the unexpected lessons in resilience that kept him going. Stripped of fame and fortune, Becker faced an entirely new world as inmate A2923EV, where nothing came easy.More than a story of survival, Inside is about profound transformation. With brutal honesty, Becker reflects on the choices that led him to prison, confronting his mistakes and the price of fame. Through new relationships, hard-learned survival skills and the philosophy of Stoicism, he embarks on the difficult journey of rebuilding his life and shattered reputation. This is the story of a legend who lost it all – how he survived, started again and found light in life’s darkest moments. 'It's a memoir, it's a thriller, it's a confessional, it's therapy. This book is unbelievable, [and] beautifully written. It couldn't be a crazier story…it's so gripping, I could not put it down.' Chris Evans

Allt började när en vän till Thérèse Juel blev dömd för ett sexualbrott. När hon granskade fakta i målet upptäckte hon mängder av motsägelser och orimligheter. Det skapade ett engagemang som 2010 resulterade i boken Fällda för sexövergrepp – om rättsfall i Sverige. Nu nio år senare kommer här hennes uppföljare.I den här boken tar Thérèse Juel upp ?era kända fall och ger läsaren en annan inblick än den som media tidigare gett.I kapitlet med SOS-sjuksköterskan som inte skickade ambulans visar hon att det fanns ?era som hade kunnat skicka ambulans men det var bara den i media kände SOS-sjuksköterskan som blev uthängd som syndabock.Ett annat kapitel handlar om processen mot den så kallade Kulturpro?len, men här skriver Thérèse Juel om fallet sett ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv.Efter att ha beviljats resning friades 2018 den tidigare morddömde Esa Teittinen, men hur gick det till när hovrätten överprövade målet? Thérèse Juel var där och berättar om rättegången ur ett personligt perspektiv. Om Thérèse Under närmare 29 år frilansade Thérèse Juel på Sveriges Radio och gjorde olika program och inslag i samtliga kanaler. Som frilansjournalist har hon även skrivit artiklar för både dagspress som välkända veckotidningar.Under de senaste 14 åren har Thérèse fördjupat sig i den svenska rättssäkerheten och gjort sig känd för sin strid för oskyldigt dömda, främst i sexualbrottmål, men också i mordmål. Hon tar sällan ställning i skuldfrågor men vill att diskussionen om rättssäkerhet och hur domstolar värderar bevis ges ett större utrymme.Sedan 2014 är hon återkommande gästföreläsare vid Juridiska fakulteten, Uppsala Universitet i ämnet rättssäkerhet. Sagt om Thérèse»Thérèse Juel skriver bra och koncist. Hon har i både bokform och debattartiklar, bland annat i Dagens Juridik, ställt viktiga frågor som rättssäkerhet och bevis värdering på sin spets – frågor som annars inte brukar få särskilt stor plats i den svenska debatten men som förtjänar betydligt större utrymme.«Stefan Wahlberg, chefredaktör för Dagens Juridik »Den mest uppskakande text jag läst om det svenska rättssamhället. Och jag har läst mycket i ämnet.«Jan Guillou i Aftonbladet om »Fällda för sexövergrepp – om rättsfall i Sverige«

The last days of colonialism taught America's revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny. As a result, our country has generally worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. But according to investigative reporter Radley Balko, over the last several decades, America's cops have increasingly come to resemble ground troops. The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as an other-an enemy.Today's armored-up policemen are a far cry from the constables of early America. The unrest of the 1960s brought about the invention of the SWAT unit-which in turn led to the debut of military tactics in the ranks of police officers. Nixon's War on Drugs, Reagan's War on Poverty, Clinton's COPS program, the post-9/11 security state under Bush, Obama: by degrees, each of these innovations empowered police forces, always at the expense of civil liberties. And under Trump, these powers were expanded in terrifying new ways, as evidenced by the tanks and overwhelming force that met the Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020.In Rise of the Warrior Cop, Balko shows how politicians' ill-considered policies and relentless declarations of war against vague enemies like crime, drugs, and terror have blurred the distinction between cop and soldier. His fascinating, frightening narrative shows how over a generation, a creeping battlefield mentality has isolated and alienated American police officers and put them on a collision course with the values of a free society.

In an extraordinary history of the criminal trial, Sadakat Kadri shows with wit, legal insight and a travel writer’s eye for detail, how the irrationality of the past lives on in the legal systems of the present. A bold and brilliant debut from a prize-winning writer.`The Trial’ spans a vast distance in time, opening in the dread silence of the Egyptian Hall of the Dead and ending with the melodramas and hubbub of the 21st-century trial circus. Reconciliation and vengeance, secrecy and spectacle, superstition and reason all intertwine continually. The book crosses from the marbled courtrooms of Athens through the ordeal pits of Anglo-Saxon England, past the torture chambers of the Inquisition to the judicial theatres of 17th-century Salem, and from 1930s Moscow and post-war Nuremberg to the virtual courtrooms of modern Hollywood.Kadri shows throughout how the trial has always been concerned with doing more than guaranteeing fairness and holding human beings to account for their deliberate crimes. He recounts how insentient and irrational defendants from caterpillars to corpses were once summonsed to court, before being exiled for their failure to attend or sentenced to die again – and argues that the same urge to punish lives on in today's trials of children and the mentally ill. But although Justice’s sword has always been double-edged – as ready to destroy a community’s enemies as to defend its dreams of due process – the judicial contest also operates to enshrine some of the western world’s most cherished values. The show trials of Stalin's Soviet Union were shams, but Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib are a reminder that a lack of a trial is equally unjust, and at a time when our constitutional landscape seems to be melting away, an appreciation of the criminal courtroom’s history is more necessary than ever. As the Labour government launches an almost annual attempt to truncate trial by jury, and as authorities on both sides of the Atlantic are indefinitely detaining people in the name of an endless war on terror, `The Trial’ could hardly be more timely.Note that it has not been possible to include the same picture content that appeared in the original print version.

Newly updated to include Sutcliffe’s bid for freedom in 2008, and the verdict from court in 2010.For over twenty years, the dark secrets of the biggest criminal manhunt in British history have remained a closed book. Detectives refused all requests to tell the inside story of the Yorkshire Ripper investigation that logged over two million manhours of police work. The victims who survived maintained a wall of silence. And the detailed forensic evidence, witness statements and autopsy reports have remained locked away.Until now.Award-winning writer Michael Bilton has persuaded the key people to talk. After years of exhaustive research he can finally reveal the extraordinary truth behind the murder enquiry that left Peter Sutcliffe free to kill again and again.With exclusive access to the detectives involved, to pathologist's archives and confidential police reports, the story of the hunt reads as tensely as any thriller. Its measured analysis of the calamitous investigation is also a shocking and important indictment of the most notorious murder hunt of the twentieth century.Note that it has not been possible to include the same picture content that appeared in the original print version.

Lesley Molseed was eleven when she was killed in 1975. For sixteen years Stefan Kiszko served a prison sentence having been wrongly convicted of her murder by police anxious to find a culprit.English justice catastrophically failed little Lesley Molseed and her family even though, at the trial of the man wrongly suspected of killing her, the finest barristers of the day were in court. One would go on to become Home Secretary, the other Lord Chief Justice at a time when Stefan Kiszko was serving a sixteen-year sentence and suffering unimaginable torment in prison as his mother and aunt and a small team of loyal supporters sought to overturn the miscarriage of justice. Their eventual success was followed by tragedy as first Stefan, then his mother died premature deaths, exhausted by their fight to have him proclaimed innocent. Further tragedy affected the families of other children, criminally abused by Lesley’s unpunished killer. Justice repeatedly failed the Innocents – and this is the story of that failure.

Winner of the International Book Award at the 2026 Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards'One of the most incredible and moving books that we've read, ever.' The High Performance Podcast Sitting in the prison classroom each morning, reading the pages in my book, listening to the teacher, I could feel myself slowing down. I had achieved greatness. I had won three Wimbledon titles, two Aussie Opens, the US Open, two Davis Cups, an Olympic gold medal. But where was I now? Either I was some strange exception, a great man surrounded by lesser men, or I was not an exception at all. I fitted right in. And if I did, why was that? Wimbledon champion at 17, six-time Grand Slam winner and former world number one – Boris Becker achieved unparalleled success, fame and wealth throughout his tennis career. But in April 2022, everything changed when he was sentenced to 30 months in prison over bankruptcy charges.Inside offers a raw and unflinching account of Becker’s life behind bars, detailing the brutal realities of surviving two of the UK’s toughest prisons and the unexpected lessons in resilience that kept him going. Stripped of fame and fortune, Becker faced an entirely new world as inmate A2923EV, where nothing came easy.More than a story of survival, Inside is about profound transformation. With brutal honesty, Becker reflects on the choices that led him to prison, confronting his mistakes and the price of fame. Through new relationships, hard-learned survival skills and the philosophy of Stoicism, he embarks on the difficult journey of rebuilding his life and shattered reputation. This is the story of a legend who lost it all – how he survived, started again and found light in life’s darkest moments. 'It's a memoir, it's a thriller, it's a confessional, it's therapy. This book is unbelievable, [and] beautifully written. It couldn't be a crazier story…it's so gripping, I could not put it down.' Chris Evans
