Violation of personal integrity crimes

The plan states that certain penalties may need to be increased and demands penalties that ensure crimes against women and children are prioritized by law enforcement authorities. Increased minimum penalties and new serious categories for offences against bodily integrity are precisely such a marking of the seriousness of these crimes. The plan also supports the law on violence against women. The demand therefore lies in the direction of the plan, even though the emphasis otherwise lies on preventive work.

• penalties that prioritize violence against women offencesdecisive»För det behövs det fler poliser, ökad kunskap inom rättsväsendet om samtycke och om våld mot kvinnor och barn, och straff som gör att brotten prioriteras av rättsvårdande instanser.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“For that, more police is needed, increased knowledge within the justice system about consent and about violence against women and children, and penalties that ensure crimes are prioritized by law enforcement authorities.”
• certain penalties can be increased»Vissa straff kan behöva höjas men mycket mer fokus måste riktas mot att förhindra rekryteringen av nya barn till gängkriminalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Certain penalties may need to be increased but much more focus must be directed at preventing the recruitment of new children into gang crime.”
• defends the legislation on violence against women»Vi står bakom och försvarar lagen som förbjuder köp av sexuella tjänster och lagen om kvinnofridskränkning.« (party programme ↗)“We support and defend the law prohibiting the purchase of sexual services and the law on violence against women.”
• violence is structural»Mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett strukturellt samhällsproblem.« (party programme ↗)“Men's violence against women is a structural societal problem.”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to continue the direction that has increased penalties for violence and other violations in intimate relationships, and to increase penalties generally for serious crimes. Increased minimum and maximum penalties for serious violation of personal peace and serious violation of women's personal peace, as well as new aggravated criminal classifications, are precisely such an increase. Strong action against male violence against women points in the same direction.

• increased penalties in intimate relationshipsdecisive»Vi vill fort sätta den politiska riktning som skärpt straffen för våld och andra kränkningar i nära relationer, och som ökat resurserna till kvinno- och tjejjourernas viktiga arbete.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to continue the political direction that has increased penalties for violence and other violations in intimate relationships, and that has increased resources for women's and girls' support centers' important work.”

The election manifesto establishes that it is the perpetrator's freedom that should be limited and wants to provide stronger protection for women subjected to violence and electronically monitor more perpetrators of violence. The plan does not state a position on sentence lengths, but its line of placing the victim's vulnerability at the center and limiting the perpetrator points toward tougher sentences for gross assault of women. The party programme's emphasis on the deterrent purpose of penalties pulls in the other direction, which is why the confidence is low.

• the perpetrator's freedom should be limiteddecisive»Ingen ska begränsas av hedersförtryck och våld, det är förövarens frihet som ska begränsas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“No one should be limited by honour-based oppression and violence; it is the perpetrator's freedom that should be limited.”
• toughened measures against perpetrators of violence»att våldsutsatta kvinnor som tvingas gömma sig ska få starkare skydd och att fler som utövar våld ska få fotboja.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“that women subjected to violence who are forced to hide shall receive stronger protection and that more perpetrators of violence shall receive electronic monitoring.”
• the crime victim at the center»brottsoffret och dennes utsatthet i centrum.« (party programme ↗)“the victim of crime and their vulnerability at the center.”

The plan explicitly demands increased sentences for serious violation of personal safety and serious violation of women's safety, based on the premise that men who beat women should not escape. The counter-proposal's increased minimum and maximum sentences and new, more serious crime classifications are precisely the sentence enhancement the plan promises. The plan links this to the goal of leading Sweden towards an end to men's violence against women and to a strengthened victim-of-crime perspective.

• increased sentences for violation of personal safetydecisive»Män som slår ska inte komma undan. Vi vill höja straffen för sexualbrott, grov fridskränkning och grov kvinnofridskränkning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Men who beat women should not escape. We want to increase sentences for sexual offences, serious violation of personal safety, and serious violation of women's safety.”
• end to men's violence against women»Vi ska leda Sverige mot ett slut på mäns våld mot kvinnor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We shall lead Sweden towards an end to men's violence against women.”
• strengthened victim-of-crime perspective»Brottsofferperspektivet måste stärkas. Den som utsatts för brott ska få upprättelse och bättre stöd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The victim-of-crime perspective must be strengthened. Those who have been subjected to crime shall receive redress and better support.”

The party programme requires that the penalty system be changed so that repeated crime results in stricter sentences and opens for toughened sentencing to mark the seriousness of the violation, which is the very construction behind invasion-of-privacy offences. The election manifesto also wants higher sentences for violence against women and toughened sentences for serious crimes generally. The counter-proposal's increased sentence scales and new most serious category follow from this.

• stricter sentences for repeated crimedecisive»Påföljdssystemet ska förändras så att återfall och upprepad brottslighet ger strängare straff, liksom« (party programme ↗)“The penalty system shall be changed so that repeat offences and repeated crime result in stricter sentences, as well as”
• higher sentences for violence against women»Vi vill se en ökad handlingskraft mot sexuellt våld och våld mot kvinnor genom bland annat högre straff för sexualbrott och ett bättre skydd och stöd för offren.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to see increased forceful action against sexual violence and violence against women through, among other things, higher sentences for sexual offences and better protection and support for victims.”
• mark the seriousness of the offence»befogat att skärpa straffsatserna för att underlätta rehabilitering eller markera allvaret i den« (party programme ↗)“it is justified to increase sentencing to facilitate rehabilitation or mark the seriousness of the”
• toughened sentences for serious crimes»Vi vill avskaffa dagens mängdrabatt på brott, slopa den närmast automatiska frigivningen från fängelsestraff och skärpa straffen för bland annat vapenbrott, våldtäkt och utpressning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to abolish today's quantity discount on crimes, abolish the near-automatic release from prison sentences and toughen sentences for, among other things, weapons crimes, rape and extortion.”

The election manifesto consistently drives through hefty sentence increases and specifies concrete minimum sentences, including at least five years imprisonment for weapon crime. The party programme establishes that violence from a close person can never be accepted and that legislation must mark violence against women as a serious crime. Increased minimum sentences and new, graver criminal offences for violation of integrity directly address that.

• hefty sentence increasesdecisive»Skärp straffen för sexualbrott kraftigt. 25 års fängelse för grov våldtäkt, kemisk kastrering som villkor för villkorlig frigivning och livstids fängelse för grov våldtäkt mot barn.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tighten sentences for sexual crime dramatically. 25 years imprisonment for severe rape, chemical castration as condition for conditional release and life imprisonment for severe rape of child.”
• mark close-person violence's seriousness»våld från en närstående eller för annan form av övergrepp och våld« (party programme ↗)“violence from a close person or for other forms of assault and violence”
• increased minimum sentences»Skärp straffet för vapenbrott till lägst fem års fängelse.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tighten sentence for weapon crime to at least five years imprisonment.”
• general prevention through punishment»Ett effektivt tillrättaförande av brottsförövare bör dessutom ha inslag av såväl allmänprevention som individualprevention.« (party programme ↗)“Effective sanctioning of offenders should moreover have elements of both general and individual prevention.”

The election manifesto names serious violence against women and promises to increase penalties for precisely this crime as well as to make it easier to detain the offender. That is exactly what the counter-proposal requires: increased minimum and maximum sentences and new, more serious crime classifications. The plan moreover promises generally increased penalties for violent crimes and a new penal code with a focus on crime victims. The plan therefore supports the requirement.

• increased penalties for violence against womendecisive»Moderaterna vill skärpa straffen för detta brott och göra det lättare att häkta våldsutövaren så att en våldsam partner omedelbart kan sättas bakom lås och bom i avvaktan på att brottet utreds.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Moderates want to increase penalties for this crime and make it easier to detain the perpetrator of violence so that a violent partner can be immediately locked up pending investigation of the crime.”
• increased penalties for violent crimes»Skärpa straffen för vålds- och sexualbrott« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Increase penalties for violent and sexual crimes”
• easier detention in intimate partner violence»Sänka gränsen för obligatorisk häktning så att den gäller misstänkta för brott med ett straffvärde på minst ett års fängelse, inte två års fängelse som idag« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Lower the threshold for mandatory detention so it applies to suspected perpetrators of crimes with a penalty value of at least one year's imprisonment, not two years as today”
• new penal code focusing on crime victims»Införa en ny brottsbalk för att skifta fokus från gärningsmannen till brottsoffer« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce a new penal code to shift focus from the perpetrator to the crime victim”

The election manifesto requires significantly increased penalties for serious crimes against the person and that penalties should be proportional and provide restitution for the victim. The counter-proposal's requirement for increased minimum and maximum penalties for serious personal assault and serious assault on women as well as a new categorization for the most serious cases is precisely the increase the plan requires. The plan also shows that it is prepared to introduce new crime categorizations.

• significantly increased penaltiesdecisive»Kraftigt höja straffen samt avskaffa mängdrabatten vid allvarliga brott mot person« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Significantly increase penalties and abolish the quantity discount for serious crimes against the person”
• proportional penalties and incapacitation»Straff ska inte bara ses som en rehabiliterande åtgärd, utan genom att stå i proportion till gärningen ge upprättelse åt brottsoffer och genom inkapacitering hindra att farliga kriminella kan begå nya brott.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Punishment should not only be seen as a rehabilitative measure, but by standing in proportion to the crime provide restitution to victims and through incapacitation prevent dangerous criminals from committing new crimes.”
