Kan buggning rättfärdigas? - En idéanalys av den svenska buggningsutredningen

Sammanfattning: The main focus of the essay is to investigate if bugging can be justified from two ethics perspectives, the teleological and the deontology. I?ve chosen to emanate from two specific values which I believe is especially relevant to the ethical problems of bugging, efficiency in fighting crime and the personal integrity. To be able to illustrate this conflict between different values did I do an analysis of an official report which had the task to explore if Sweden should introduce bugging as a new means of compulsion. The official report's statement was that the police should have modern instrument to fighting crimes efficient, including bugging. My examination of the report showed that they used several arguments derived from both the efficiency in fighting crime perspective and the personal integrity perspective. However the conclusion of my analysis is that the answer if bugging can be justified depends partly on which ethic perspective the argument is assumed from and partly which value of efficiency in fighting crime or personal integrity that's the most important.
