    • 1934, Eliel Löfgren, Klockorna i Östervåla, page 313:
      Naturligtvis kunde jag icke neka honom denna lilla gentjänst för allt vad Anders Pers’ tidning gjort för saken, som för honom gällde rättssäkerhet och ansvarskänsla gentemot godtycke och ansvarslöshet.
      Certainly, I could not deny him this small favor for all that Anders Pers' newspaper has done for the cause, which, for him, concerned justice and a sense of responsibility towards arbitrariness and irresponsibility.
    • 2013 February 19, Mårten Eidevall, “Kronvittnen hotar rättssäkerheten”, in Svenska Dagbladet[1]:
      [...] ett system med kronvittnen bygger in ökade risker för falska vittnesmål – och är ett hot mot rättssäkerheten.
      [...] a system with crown witness construct inherently increased risks of false testimony - and is a threat to the legal certainty.
