Genom historien har frågorna om hur man får människor till att inte begå brott, hur man bäst straffar en brottsling och hur man får brottslingen att inte begå brott igen diskuterats intensivt. Om man tittar tillbaka i historien har kroppsbestraffning och dödsstraff varit de centrala straffmetoderna. Det var först på 1800- talet som tanken om att brottslingars själ skulle straffas istället för kroppen. Det var med denna tanken som fängelsestraffet blev en central del. Bakom murarna skulle fångarna inte bara straffas för sina gärningar de skulle också formas till en människa samhället ville ha.

In 1936 a governmental breeding project was started with aim on military use. The police later came to use dogs from this project as well. In order to utilize dogs that could fit for other purposes training and education of dogs for search of different substances and of guide dogs for blind persons was performed. A political decision to privatize the whole dog programme was taken in 1992. During most part of the time one had serious economical issues since too few of the dogs that were bred could be considered to fulfil the basic demands for service. To satisfy the need of service dogs private bred dogs were bought as well.

The purpose of this study was to examine if there are common factors that lead to young people committing crimes according to professionals in social work, crime prevention and the police. The study also aims to examine if juveniles in Swedish suburbs commit more crimes, the consequences that follows and what actions socialworkers have for these juveniles. The study was conducted through qualitative interviews of five professionals in the area who were contacted from different units. In the analysis Goffmans (1971) theory of stigma was used and Goldberg's (2005) Conspiracy Theory. Some of the conclusions that could be drawn from the study was that there is not only one factor influencing young people to delinquency, but often combinations of different factors that lead to this.

The aim of this essay was to understand how teachers identify and deal with the problems surrounding economic vulnerability among their students.  A qualitative study method was conducted by seven semi-structured interviews with teachers from a big city in Sweden. When analyzing my result I found support in Goffman's stigma theory as well as in previous research. The teachers identify economic vulnerability amongst their students through their material belongings, when the class does something extraordinary, and through how the students communicate. Problems that the teachers can see in the classroom for economically disadvantaged students are that they can be aggressive, unruly and become introverted. Problems with studies and shoplifting are also common.

Resultatet visar att många lärare är positiva till dramapedagogik men att det är få som använder det i en större utsträckning. Skälen att inte använda drama är enligt de intervjuade framförallt okunskap, tidsbrist samt organisatoriska svårigheter..

The purpose of this essay is to analyse and understand how students, as consumers, choose brands from the aspects of the concept of CSR, the economic, social and environmental. The essay is based on a qualitative method with three focus groups, with five respondents in each of them. The respondents are all studying at Kalmar University and they have all studied some kind of economic-course. We have used a lot of different sources for our theory chapter, this because of the fact that we wanted to have different angles, so that we would be able to cover all of the questions we wanted to discuss in the focus groups.

Globalisering är något som de senaste åren blivit ett allt mer igenkänt begrepp bland oss människor, detta är något som berör både oss individer samt företagsvärlden. Den främsta anledningen till att detta är något som ligger i tiden beror på att numer finns möjligheterna, tekniken har tagit oss framåt vilket skapat ett behov bland oss människor av att se världen. Vi blir inte tillfredsställda förrän vi utnyttjat de möjligheter som finns. Det är bland annat företagen, och då främst världsföretagen, som format de möjligheter som uppkommit, genom bland annat sin företagskultur, ett fenomen inom ekonomi- och verksamhetsstyrningen. För att undersöka vilken egentlig påverkan denna företagskultur har på individer, som i allt större utsträckning rör sig på en arbetsmarknad som är av det globala slaget, har vi beslutat oss för att göra fallstudier på den svenska jätten IKEA.

This essay focuses on the press coverage of the riots in Gothenburg 2001. The questions it aims to answer are, How is it that although the media was gender-neutral in its news reports, the lasting memory is one of rioting men, and why did the media simultaneously exaggerate and minimize the importance of the riots?The material consists of articles and photographs from Swedish mainstream newspapers. The method is text analysis, with a heavy influence of discourse theory. The conclusions are that since the hegemonic discourse on gender does not allow women to be active and violent, all bodies in the riot automatically become men, no matter how female they seem to be in other contexts.
