Nils Bejerot

Nils Bejerot (born September 21, 1921 in Stockholm - died November 29, 1988) was a Swedish psychiatrist and criminologist, best known for several things:
  • His role as a psychiatric advisor during the Norrmalmstorg robbery and coinage of the term Stockholm syndrome to refer to the way a hostage reacts in some situations.
  • His strong opposition against any legalization or prescription programmes for narcotic drugs, instead advocating zero tolerance.
  • Strong oppostion against the violence in comic books, which was the subject of his book, Barn, serie, samhlle (children, comics, society).
Some people consider Bejerot a good humanist advocating the only viable policy against narcotics, while others view him as a reactionary hindering new treatment practices against drug abuse.
