Abstract
Loic Wacquants teori om udviklingen af en nyliberal straffestat udgor en invitation til empiriske undersogelser. I denne artikel diskuteres Wacquants teori om, at vi i den vestlige verden har oplevet et gradvist skifte fra et keynesiansk velfaerdsregime (welfare) over et schumpetersk arbejdsregime (workfare), til at vi nu ser et nyliberalt faengselsregime (prisonfare) udvikle sig. Wacquant papeger, at det er usikkert, hvorvidt og pa hvilken made vi i fremtiden vil se en ’europaeisk vej mod en straffestat’. Han fastholder, at de skandinaviske lande udgor en undtagelse til denne globale ’tough on crime’ bolge og skriver sig implicit ind i den kriminologiske debat om den sakaldte ’skandinaviske undtagelse’. Malet med denne artikel er at udvide dette perspektiv og diskutere Wacquants teoriudvikling i en skandinavisk kontekst. Empirisk analyseres behandlingen af to danske lovforslag fra 2009 og 2011.

ENGELSK ABSTRACT:
Ida Norvin Nilsson and Kristian Nagel Delica: Critical Perspectives on Recent Danish Legal Policy – a Step on the Way Towards a ”Penal State”?
This article discusses Loic Wacquant’s thesis of a gradual shift from a Keynesian welfare regime via a Schumpeterian workfare regime to the contemporary creation of a neoliberal penal state. This thesis raises the question as to whether we will see a ”European road towards the penal state”. Wacquant maintains that the Scandinavian countries are exceptions to the global ”tough on crime” trend, thus implicitly touching upon debates in criminology about so-called ”Scandinavian exceptionalism”. This article is both a contribution to this debate as well as a critical view on Wacquant’s theories seen from a Scandinavian perspective. The empirical case in the analysis is the debates about two bills in the Danish parliament in 2009 and 2011 aimed at increasing punishment for gang violence and home robberies. Both of these bills were passed by an overwhelming majority. The analysis dissects the kind of themes referred to by the politicians in their arguments for increasing the punishment in these specific cases. One clear theme is the ill-defined term ”sense of justice”. The article invites critical reflections on the increasingly tough Danish justice policy and Wacquant’s theory of the neoliberal penal state.
Keywords: Loic Wacquant, penalty, punitive state, legal policy, neoliberalism, Scandinavian exceptionalism.
