“…The fact that some rappers who dominate the Swedish charts, and more recently, also those topping the Finnish charts, have been convicted of serious crimes has been used by authorities to justify or claim causality between rap lyrics and criminality. According to the Swedish media (Lindkvist, 2021;Sarnecki, 2020), police and prosecutors have used rap lyrics and videos in their criminal investigations and have connected suspects with each other and evidence of gang affiliation through rappers' music videos. Indications for similar developments have been discovered in Finland, where media sources verified that local police associated rap music with 'roadman culture and rap music' that glorified 'violence and create confrontation between gangs' (Kantola, 2021;Pikkarainen, 2021).…”

Sweden, often cited as an exemplary welfare state, has experienced a significant increase in gang-related gun violence in recent years. In parallel, Finland debates the growing problem of youth violence and street gangs. The media discourse surrounding these issues often focuses on ‘gangsta rap’ and certain artists within the genre. Despite rap music’s popularity and expression of underprivileged and racialised youth globally, it has earlier been subject to policing and criminalisation, now introduced in the Nordic countries. Using Finnish and Swedish media discourse and rap lyrics and videos as data, this article contributes to prior understanding by 1) linking narratives of ‘gangsta rap’ to the dismantling of the Nordic welfare state, 2) highlighting the racist targeting of ethnic minorities through the public discussions of rappers and 3) discussing similarities and differences between Sweden and Finland, adding nuance to understanding how rap and its criminalisation vary across countries.

The aim of the study was to investigate the concept of village and settlement patterns in a long-term perspective in the southern part of Sweden. For whom were villages a successful concept and was one definition really enough to describe the role villages played in different societies ? All excavated farmsteads in the period AD 400–1800 were registered in a GIS database that was used for large-scale analysis. Trends in ups and downs in the settlements at different times became visible. Large farm units/estates influenced village formation due to control over land and the ability to organize people and agrarian production. Village nucleation was considered as a precondition for state formation, as it guaranteed a stable and continuous transfer of agrarian surplus through taxes.
