Positions
In her role as a general secretary and lawyer, Ramberg has often been involved in judicial matters in the social debate in Sweden, which has often caused controversy. Ramberg has been critical towards several propositions by justice minister Thomas Bodström about giving the police more room for surveillance and interception, which she thought compromised personal integrity.{{cite web|url=http://www.svd.se/opinion/brannpunkt/artikel_201887.svd|title=Sekretess snart ren illusion|work=Svenska Dagbladet|date=15 February 2007 |accessdate=5 October 2016|language=sv|archive-date=13 June 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080613015314/http://www.svd.se/opinion/brannpunkt/artikel_201887.svd|url-status=live}} She has also criticized the Swedish Tax Office for its tax revisions against law firms and its way to review others by the so-called third man revisions.{{cite web |url=http://www.advokatsamfundet.se/templates/CommonPage_Advokaten.aspx?id=8281 |title=Skattesystemet måste vara rättvist och förutsebart |work=Advokaten |date=2008 |language=sv |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150102210919/https://www.advokatsamfundet.se/Advokaten/Tidningsnummer/2008/Nr-5-2008-Argang-74/Skattesystemet-maste-vara-rattvist-och-forutsebart/ |archivedate=2 January 2015}} She has also directed criticism towards justice minister Beatrice Ask, who expressed the opinion that suspected sex buyers should be exposed by media; Ramberg said that it was a "scary opinion".{{cite web|url=https://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/ask-vill-att-sexkopare-skams-oppet/|title=Ask vill att sexköpare skäms öppet|date=19 March 2010|work=Dagens Nyheter|access-date=5 October 2016|language=sv|archive-date=26 November 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161126005125/http://www.dn.se/nyheter/sverige/ask-vill-att-sexkopare-skams-oppet//|url-status=live}}
