Less confidence in the police


Every fourth Norwegian say they have less confidence in the police than before. This is shown by a survey made for public broadcaster NRK.
The survey was made in the wake of two cases which received much publicity, and which led to a public debate which is still going on.
A man who spent 18 years for the murder of two girls, was first acquitted for the one murder, and after his death also for the second.
Last fall, a Nigerian man died while being apprehended by police in Trondheim. This case is still under investigation, after the policemen involved first had been cleared of any wrongdoing by a special police commission.
