Vem är polisen nära? Om svensk närpolis och det nya polishuset i Rosengård, Malmö

Abstract
A discourse analysis is performed on police statements in newspaper articles concerning the spatial location of the new police station in Rosengård, Malmö, Sweden. The study uses Waquant's concept of territorial stigmatization and notions of reassurance- and reactive policing which has been made spatially fixed to the area of Rosengård. Reassurance policing, a Swedish iteration of "community policing" became a nation-wide strategy in Sweden in the 1990's, but fell out of grace less than a decade later. This re-articulation of reassurance policing has been made possible by pre-existing process of territorial stigmatization with which the neighborhood Rosengård has been engulfed in.
