The article recounts changes in Danish Drug Law and Enforcement since the beginning of the 1990s and relates them to general trends in Danish criminal policy during the period. In addition to the implementation of EU directives, e.g. on money laundering and growth hormones, legislation has been passed to curb conspicuous dealing of drugs in the streets of Copenhagen. This part of the legislation is seen as a reaction to public fears and reactions to visible aliens dealing in drugs in a conspicuous way, albeit in minor quantities. The legal changes imply a considerable rise in penalties for repeated dealings in minor quantities and easier access to deportation of aliens. The latter has been criticized as potential violation of the human rights of aliens. This and other recent changes in criminal law and related legislation is seen as an indication of politicians' concerns with voters' anxieties, possibly at the edge of moral panics.
本文讲述了自20世纪90年代初以来丹麦毒品法律和执法的变化，并将其与该时期丹麦刑事政策的总体趋势联系起来。除了实施欧盟指令，如关于洗钱和生长激素的指令外，丹麦还通过了立法，以遏制哥本哈根街头明显的毒品交易。这部分立法被视为对公众恐惧以及对明显有外国人少量从事毒品交易的反应。法律变化意味着对多次少量交易的处罚大幅提高，以及更容易将外国人驱逐出境。后者被批评为可能侵犯外国人的人权。刑法及相关立法的这一变化和其他近期变化被视为政治家对选民焦虑情绪的关注迹象，这可能处于道德恐慌的边缘。
