- Abstract (Swedish)
- Svensk sammanfattning
När 1998 års sexköpslag lanserades innebar den en helomvändning för den svenska synen på prostitution. Tankarna hade emellertid legat och grott och i lagförarbeten kan de härledas tillbaka till en kritisk kommentar i samband med prostitutionsreglementets behandling år 1910. Det tog närmare 90 år för maktens penna att uppmärksamma köparens betydelse för fenomenets existens. Dessförinnan har lagstiftaren kategoriserat och reglerat den en¬skilda prostituerade som sinnessjuk, avvikande och asocial.
Uppsatsen ämnar åskådliggöra hur den prostituerade kvinnan har behandlats med utgångspunkt i lösdrivarlagen och slutstation där de nya tankarna tar vid år 1998 i lagstiftningsform. Arbetet söker redogöra för när denna... (More) - Svensk sammanfattning
När 1998 års sexköpslag lanserades innebar den en helomvändning för den svenska synen på prostitution. Tankarna hade emellertid legat och grott och i lagförarbeten kan de härledas tillbaka till en kritisk kommentar i samband med prostitutionsreglementets behandling år 1910. Det tog närmare 90 år för maktens penna att uppmärksamma köparens betydelse för fenomenets existens. Dessförinnan har lagstiftaren kategoriserat och reglerat den en¬skilda prostituerade som sinnessjuk, avvikande och asocial.
Uppsatsen ämnar åskådliggöra hur den prostituerade kvinnan har behandlats med utgångspunkt i lösdrivarlagen och slutstation där de nya tankarna tar vid år 1998 i lagstiftningsform. Arbetet söker redogöra för när denna för¬ändring började ta form och varför. Straffrättsliga sidoregleringar för att hantera störande prostituerade och kopplare har existerat parallellt och vissa nedslag kring detta görs, även om det är tråden från lösdrivarlagen till sexköpslagen som uppsatsen följer. En annan resa som regleringen av prostitue¬rade företagit under denna tidsperiod är resan från reglering i lag av politi¬rättslig art till straffrättslig sådan.
De feministiska vindarna blåste starka från 1970-talet och framåt. I den andan företogs en mycket viktig utredning år 1977 vilken kom att få stor betydelse för synen på köpare och säljare i sexhandeln. Även det växande internationella sammanhanget torde ha spelat stor roll för utformningen av sexköpslagen. Avslutningsvis kan konstateras att staten i alla tider haft behov av att kontrollera den prostituerade på grund av den synderska hon an¬setts vara. Å andra sidan har den historiske lagstiftaren i någon mån erkänt mannens pockande drift och den prostituerades eviga betydelse för mannens påstådda översexuella behov. Staten kontrollerar inte längre de prostituerade genom olika reglementen. Idag kontrollerar staten köparen. (Less) - Abstract

The Swedish sexköpslag from 1998 criminalizes the act of buying sex. Its coming into force was a unique inverse as it entailed a switch of perspectives. The seller has been the subject of regulatory throughout the history in Sweden. Although the idea of the buyer as the main problem can be traced as a divergent opinion already in a preparatory work from 1910, it took almost 90 years for the Swedish legislators to recognize the vital impact of the sex buyer for the phenomenon’s continued existence. Historically seen, the Swedish legislators have regulated and categorized the prostitutes as divergent in different ways throughout the years, for example as antisocial persons and lunatics.

The Swedish sexköpslag from 1998 criminalizes the act of buying sex. Its coming into force was a unique inverse as it entailed a switch of perspectives. The seller has been the subject of regulatory throughout the history in Sweden. Although the idea of the buyer as the main problem can be traced as a divergent opinion already in a preparatory work from 1910, it took almost 90 years for the Swedish legislators to recognize the vital impact of the sex buyer for the phenomenon’s continued existence. Historically seen, the Swedish legislators have regulated and categorized the prostitutes as divergent in different ways throughout the years, for example as antisocial persons and lunatics.
The essay has its starting point in the Swedish lösdrivarlag (Vagabond law) from 1885 and follows its trace to the year of 1998 and the entry into force of the sexköpslag. The purpose is to account for how the Swedish legislators have observed the prostitute throughout the years. Besides the lösdrivarlag, regulations within criminal law existed, for example the crime of wounding of discipline and morality, a regulation that could be used to captivate pro-stitutes who behaved particularly improperly in public. The earlier regulat-ions fell within the administrative law area but since the sexköpslag the regulation falls within criminal law.
Feminism raised of importance in the 1970’s and has been ever since. In 1977 a commission was appointed which came to have a huge impact on the law from 1998. The growing international context was also of relevance for the wording of the law. The Swedish State has always expressed a need of controlling the prostitutes because of her threatening of the public order. On the other hand, the legislators in history have in some way confessed the sexuality of men and the eternal need of the prostitutes. Today, the Swedish State does no longer control the prostitute. The buyer is subject to control. (Less)
