When the American research field "Fear of Crime" was introduced in Sweden in the 1980s, it was translated "otrygghet", a word with a previously established meaning in Swedish. The meaning of the word "otrygghet" has since then changed significantly in Sweden. From being used to signify economic and materialist unpredictability, "otrygghet" has come to be used almost exclusively in a crime context.

In Sweden, class actions - such as the ongoing Aurora case, where 300 young people are suing the government for failing to implement climate policies - are rare. Too rare, according to the sociologist of law Michael Molavi. He argues that Sweden would benefit from more class actions and that the state should finance the legal costs. On 21 March, Nacka District Court announced that the youth group
