I säkert förvar - En diskursanalys av debatten kring ett kritiserat förvar inom svensk lagstiftning

Sammanfattning: The use of detention centers for refugees in Sweden has been criticized over the last couple of years. The lack of resources and the shortage of accommodations have resulted in the use of alternative facilities such as police detentions and prisons. These alternative facilities has since 1994 been criticized by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture. But still the alternative detention centers are in use. With the method of a discourse analysis, this thesis studies why this critique gets no space in the Swedish parliament and through the discourse analysis, the thesis looks upon signs of power within the debates. As the Swedish democrats have gotten more seats in parliament after the last election, they use this legitimacy to shift the agenda of the debates.
