About the publication
The chapter develops concepts to support analyses of how Nordic approaches to criminal justice were folded into global contexts, and how patterns of promotion were built around perceptions that these approaches had a particular value also for other criminal justice systems.
Besides building a new conceptual approach, the paper also outlines how chapters in the book analyse specific actors, both internal and external to the region itself, and how they have branded Nordic criminal justice as a form of ‘penal exceptionalism’ associated with human rights, universalistic welfare and social cohesion. We show how building and using the brand of Nordic criminal justice allowed stakeholders to champion specific forms of crime control across a variety of criminal justice areas in both domestic and international settings.
