Straffrättslig jurisdiktion

This thesis deals with the criminal jurisdiction of states. Legal examinations of the topic have been somewhat fragmentary in the Nordic legal community. The focus has rather been on certain sets of problems than comprehensive systematization. This can be seen in contrast to legal doctrine, especially in Germany. As the thesis deals with construction and systematization, it has a clear legal dogmatic character. However, the analysis is not directed at a particular country s legal system, but rather at criminal jurisdiction as a general legal phenomenon. This also requires elements of legal comparison. The comparative method used can be characterized as functional comparison, with the Finnish, Swedish, Danish and German legal systems to the fore.
