Polismän i Sverige är utrustade med en laga befogenhet att använda våld för att fullgöra de uppgifter och mål som för polisens räkning ställs upp i lag, så som att beivra brott och skydda allmänheten. Härmed krävs bland annat att våldet är proportionerligt och försvarligt i förhållande till dess syfte för att det ska anses tillåtet. Vidare tillkommer en nödvärnsrätt för alla individer, och således

This thesis aims to investigate if Moody’s is more accurate than logistic regression and the Merton model in predicting default by firms issuing corporate debt after the financial crisis. This is achieved by comparing the Expected Default Probabilities (EDPs) in Moody’s migration table published in their annual default study reports against the calculated EDPs from logistic regression and the Mert

För att uppnå detta mål har flera åtgärder vidtagits. En av dessa åtgärder var kriminaliseringen av eget bruk som skedde 1988 med en påföljande straffskärpning 1993. Denna uppsats behandlar den svenska narkotikalaDuring the past 50 years, the Swedish drug policy has been hotly debated. The main objective of the policy is to create a drug-free society.
