This essay, named ”A critical discourse analysis on the debate in parliament; regarding the law of consent”, aimed to clarify whether the political debate that took place before the voting of the “law of consent” was a case of penal populism or not. The essay also aimed to find out how the victims of sex crime was constructed, as a discourse, and used in the political debate. The method used to perform this was the critical discourse analysis, by Fairclough (1995). The results show that a change has taken place in the political debate, regarding how sex crime is viewed and analyzed today. That’s because politicians used discourses based in conflict and feminist theory. This can be regarded as a change in the social practices and a change of the “status quo”. The essay presents that's not the case. That’s because the parts that have made up penal populism, in Sweden, since the 70s-80s are present in the political debate regarding the “law of consent”.
