Implementation of Recommendations

The plan demands a functioning and present justice system where those who commit crimes are tried, and at the same time states that major changes in how the police work are necessary. Urging the government to ensure that the Police Authority follows the scrutiny's recommendations on ineffective volume crime handling responds to this. The plan thus also speaks against the committee's reasoning that the ongoing work already suffices.

• rättssystemet ska fungeradecisive»Det är viktigt att rättssystemet fungerar, att kvinnors erfarenheter tas på allvar och att de som begår brott döms.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is important that the justice system works, that women's experiences are taken seriously and that those who commit crimes are tried.”
• polisen måste förändras»Att återupprätta tilltron till polisen kräver stora förändringar av hur polisen arbetar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Restoring trust in the police requires major changes in how the police work.”
• närvarande rättssystem»Kriminaliteten behöver mötas både med ett fungerande och närvarande rättssystem som fler patrullerande poliser« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Crime needs to be met both with a functioning and present justice system and more patrolling police”
• oberoende granskning av polisen»oberoende system för att granska de yrkesgrupper, till exempel polisen« (party programme ↗)“independent system to scrutinize professional groups, such as the police”

The plan demands uncompromising crime-fighting, significantly more police and that society reacts clearly against crime, and particularly emphasizes that theft gangs create unrest throughout the country. Ineffective handling of volume crimes runs counter to these commitments, which supports the counter-proposal's requirement that the government ensures the recommendations are followed. The plan says nothing about ongoing change work being sufficient.

• uncompromising crime-fightingdecisive»Kampen mot kriminaliteten ska vara kompromisslös. Samhällets fulla kraft ska mobiliseras för att trycka tillbaka de kriminella, kapa återväxten in i kriminaliteten och öka tryggheten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The fight against crime shall be uncompromising. Society's full force shall be mobilized to push back the criminals, sever the pipeline back into crime and increase security.”
• strengthened police capacity»Kraftigt öka antalet poliser på våra gator och torg.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Significantly increase the number of police on our streets and public spaces.”
• volume crimes create insecurity»Stöldligor skapar oro i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Theft gangs create unrest throughout the country.”
• clear response to crime»Samhället måste reagera tydligt mot brott och regelöverträdelser.« (party programme ↗)“Society must react clearly against crime and violations of rules.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan requires an effective and well-functioning justice system that has public confidence, more and better-paid police and a criminal justice policy that puts the crime victim at the centre. Inefficient handling of high-volume crime contradicts this, which speaks in favour of ensuring that the government follows the recommendations. The plan says nothing about how audit recommendations should be handled, so the conclusion is derived.

• effective justice system with confidencedecisive»ett effektivt och välfungerande rättsväsen som har allmänhetens förtroende« (party programme ↗)“an effective and well-functioning justice system that has public confidence”
• strengthened police activity»se fler och bättre betalda poliser för att bekämpa den organiserade brottsligheten och för att motverka parallellsamhällen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“see more and better-paid police to combat organised crime and to counter parallel societies.”
• the crime victim at the centre»brottsoffret och dennes utsatthet i centrum. Den« (party programme ↗)“the crime victim and their vulnerability at the centre. The”

The plan explicitly requires that more crimes affecting people in their daily life be solved and that the entire justice chain is strengthened, which is precisely what the criticism of ineffective handling of bulk crimes is about. The plan also wants to see more police present in everyday life throughout the country and a stronger victim perspective. It therefore supports the demand that the government ensures that the recommendations are followed.

• more everyday crimes must be solveddecisive»Tryggheten ska förbättras i hela landet och fler brott som drabbar folk i deras vardag ska klaras upp.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Security must be improved throughout the country and more crimes affecting people in their daily life must be solved.”
• strengthened justice chain»Vi behöver rusta Sveriges totalförsvar, stärka hela rättskedjan, satsa på förebyggande insatser och en likvärdig skola.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We need to strengthen Sweden's total defence, strengthen the entire justice chain, invest in preventive measures and an equal school.”
• police present in daily life»Fler poliser ska finnas närvarande i vardagen, både i utsatta områden och på landsbygden. Vi vill öka polistätheten till EU-snittet och öppna nedlagda polisstationer på nytt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More police must be present in everyday life, both in vulnerable areas and in the countryside. We want to increase police density to EU level and reopen closed police stations.”
• strengthened victim perspective»Brottsofferperspektivet måste stärkas. Den som utsatts för brott ska få upprättelse och bättre stöd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The victim perspective must be strengthened. Those who have been victims of crime must receive acknowledgment and better support.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan's decisive commitment is that the judicial system's capacity and efficiency shall be improved so that more crimes are solved and fewer reports are dismissed. An examination showing that the handling of high-volume crimes is inefficient hits precisely this commitment, and therefore it is in line with the plan that the government is urged to ensure that the recommendations are followed. The plan speaks about the substantive result, not about ongoing change work in itself being sufficient.

• more efficient judicial systemdecisive»Rättsväsendets förmåga och effektivitet behöver förbättras så att« (party programme ↗)“The judicial system's capacity and efficiency need to be improved so that”
• more solved crimes»handläggningstiderna kortas, fler brott anmäls och klaras upp samt färre brottsanmälningar« (party programme ↗)“handling times are shortened, more crimes are reported and solved and fewer crime reports”
• low clearance rate unacceptable»Bara vart fjärde gängmord och var sjunde skjutning leder i dag till fällande domar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Only every fourth gang murder and every seventh shooting today lead to convictions.”
• strengthened capacity in the justice chain»Samtidigt behöver vi fler domare och fler åklagare, och fler häkten och fängelser med fler kriminalvårdare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“At the same time we need more judges and more prosecutors, and more remand prisons and prisons with more correctional staff.”

The party programme explicitly requires that all crimes be prosecuted effectively and without exception, including those that can be dismissed as minor crimes and offenses, which is precisely the volume crime work the review criticizes. The election manifesto also wants to streamline the police's mission so that focus is placed on crime-fighting. The plan thus speaks for the government ensuring that the recommendations are followed.

• volume crime shall be prosecuteddecisive»Alla brott ska effektivt och utan undantag beivras« (party programme ↗)“All crimes shall be effectively and without exception prosecuted”
• streamlined police mandate»Renodla polisens uppdrag. Polisen fokuserar idag alldeles för mycket på annat än brottsbekämpning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Streamline the police's mission. Police today focus far too much on things other than crime-fighting.”
• quick predictable reactions»förutsägbara reaktioner som är förankrade i en human och tydlig lagstiftning« (party programme ↗)“predictable reactions that are rooted in a human and clear legislation”
• serious crime situation»Sverige befinner sig i en extrem situation.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden is in an extreme situation.”

The plan is built on the justice system being undersized and that the police's task shall be refined so that more crimes are detected, investigated and cleared up. An inefficient handling of high-volume crime is precisely the problem the plan wants to address, and the demand that the government ensures the recommendations are followed thus aligns with the plan. The plan does not, however, express an opinion on whether ongoing change work would be sufficient.

• refined police taskdecisive»Renodla Polisens uppdrag med fokus på att upptäcka, utreda och klara upp brott« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Refine the Police's task with focus on detecting, investigating and clearing up crime”
• undersized justice system»Svenskt rättsväsende är uppenbart underdimensionerat i förhållande till den kriminalitet som samhället drabbas av idag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Swedish justice system is obviously undersized in relation to the criminality that society suffers from today.”
• more crimes shall be prosecuted»Satsa på fler åklagare så att fler brott kan leda till fällande dom« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Invest in more prosecutors so that more crimes can lead to convictions”
• legally certain justice system»Sverige ska ha ett rättsväsende präglat av rättssäkerhet« (party programme ↗)“Sweden shall have a justice system marked by legal certainty”

The election manifesto demands zero tolerance for crime so that even minor crimes are investigated and prosecuted, and specifically points out that volume crimes such as theft, robbery, assault, and vandalism are rarely followed up. The counter-proposal demands that the government ensure that the Police Authority follows the investigation's recommendations on precisely this inefficient handling of volume crimes. The plan thus provides direct support for the demand.

• zero tolerance for volume crimesdecisive»Införa nolltolerans mot brott så att även mindre allvarliga brott utreds och lagförs« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Implement zero tolerance for crime so that even minor crimes are investigated and prosecuted”
• all crimes shall be investigated»Utgångspunkten bör vara att alla brott, även sådana som inte skapar rubriker, ska utredas och att polisen ska finnas nära i hela Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The point of departure should be that all crimes, even those that don't make headlines, shall be investigated and that the police shall be present throughout Sweden.”
• volume crimes are not followed up»Den grova kriminaliteten har dessutom skapat en sådan arbetsbörda att den typ av brottslighet som drabbar de flesta – stöld, rån, misshandel och skadegörelse – eller som äger rum utanför de kriminella hetzonerna sällan följs upp ens med en god bevissituation.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Serious crime has also created such a workload that the type of criminality that affects most people—theft, robbery, assault, and vandalism—or that occurs outside the criminal hot zones is rarely followed up even with good evidence.”
• accountability for shortcomings»Sverigedemokraterna vill stärka möjligheter för ansvarsutkrävande när hanteringen av de offentliga resurserna brister.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats want to strengthen opportunities for accountability when the handling of public resources falls short.”
