Abstract

State-Corporate Crime in Swedish – A prestudy in definitions and opportunity

structures

The purpose of this study was to, through Swedish cases of state-corporate crime, raise

the concept in a Swedish context and study whether there were specific opportunity

structures in Swedish conditions and analyze this trough criminological theory. The data

collection method consisted of a media and literature review, where the selection was

based on the concept of state-corporate crime. The data was then studied through a crime

script analysis, and finally analyzed in a comparative case study. The Swedish cases that

were found were: the Bofors affairs, the Saudi agreement, the JAS affairs and the Telia

affairs. These constituted examples of both State initiated corporate crime and State

facilitated corporate crime and turned out to have similar opportunity structures. Which

consisted of pressure for profit, criminal tools in the form of bribes and middlemen, and

of neutralization techniques. The result match Cressey's fraud triangle theory of pressure,

opportunity, and rationalization.

Sammanfattning

State-Corporate Crime på svenska – En förstudie i definitioner och tillfällesstrukturer

Syftet med denna studie var att genom svenska fall av state-corporate crime dels lyfta

begreppet i en svensk kontext, dels undersöka om specifika tillfällesstrukturer gjorde sig

gällande i svenska förhållanden samt analysera dessa mot kriminologisk teori.

Datainsamlingsmetoden utgjorde en media- och litteraturgenomgång där urvalet

grundade sig i begreppsapparaten state-corporate crime. Det empiriska materialet

undersöktes sedan genom en skriptanalys, för att avslutningsvis analyseras i en

jämförande fallstudie. De kända svenska fall som påträffades var Boforsaffärerna,

Saudiavtalet, JAS-affärerna samt Telia-affärerna. Dessa utgjorde exempel på både State

initiated corporate crime och State facilitated corporate crime och visade sig ha liknande

mönster av tillfällesstrukturer. Tillfällesstrukturerna bestod övergripande i en press om

vinst, brottsliga verktyg i form av mutor och mellanhänder samt av

neutraliseringstekniker. Vilket är förenligt med Cresseys teori om fraud triangle.
