Abstract
In this chapter, the author returns to the theme of some of his earlier research – penal exceptionalism in the Nordic countries. What did this term 'exceptionalism' mean? Was it justified? If so, how had it been possible to develop a penal programme that differed so much from the Anglo-American programme of accelerating imprisonment, which had come to have a near monopoly on scholarship in this area? While addressing these matters, the chapter also examines the possibilities of the transfer of such difference and what the purpose of doing this kind of comparative research might be.
