The bill regarding investigation of bags and other items and reporting to the Police Authority when a crime is suspected

The plan warns against repression and tougher approaches being put forward instead of addressing problems seriously, and instead demands better resources for schools, youth activities and social services. That body-cavity searches should not be imposed on school staff and that an absolute duty to report is rejected as disproportionate follows from the plan's requirement to protect personal integrity and its warning that young people in poor areas are subjected to discriminatory treatment.

• rejects repression as a solutiondecisive»Alltför ofta lyfts repression och hårdare tag upp som lösningar istället för att ta itu med problemen på allvar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All too often repression and tougher approaches are put forward as solutions instead of addressing problems seriously.”
• resources for schools and social services»Skola och fritidsverksamheter behöver ges bättre resurser, likaså socialtjänsten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Schools and youth activities need better resources, as does social services.”
• protection of personal integrity»har rätt till skydd av sin personliga integritet.« (party programme ↗)“have the right to protection of their personal integrity.”
• risk of discrimination»Många unga, särskilt med utländsk bakgrund, som bor i fattiga områden, utsätts även för rasism och övervåld från polisen, vilket blev tydligt i diskussionen kring Black Lives Matter-rörelsen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Many young people, especially those with foreign backgrounds, who live in poor areas, are also subjected to racism and police brutality, which became clear in the discussion around the Black Lives Matter movement.”

The election manifesto grants the police compulsory powers such as house search and requires more cooperation between police, student health services, social services and school, and that at least as much is spent on preventive work as on more police. This supports the counter-proposal's line that strip searches should be carried out by police and that school and social services should be strengthened instead. The party programme's requirement for criminal policy built on evidence and the rule of law also supports the objection to an unconditional duty to report.

• compulsory powers with policedecisive»Polisen behöver också fler verktyg, som bättre möjligheter till avlyssning och husrannsakan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The police also need more tools, such as better opportunities for wiretapping and house search.”
• cooperation between school and police»Det behövs mer samarbete mellan polis, elevhälsa, socialtjänst och skola.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There needs to be more cooperation between police, student health services, social services and school.”
• preventive work prioritised»För varje krona som läggs på fler poliser, ska minst en krona läggas på det förebyggande arbetet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“For every pound spent on more police, at least one pound shall be spent on preventive work.”
• rule-of-law criminal policy»Kriminalpolitik byggd på evidens, effektivitet och rättssäkerhet.« (party programme ↗)“Criminal policy built on evidence, efficiency and the rule of law.”

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 party programme opposes laws that constitute disproportionate intrusions into privacy and states that the most important crime prevention work happens through reduced marginalization, and that structural discrimination shall end. The election manifesto wants to strengthen cooperation between police, school and social services. The counter-proposal's demand on police as executor, proportionate reporting obligation and more resources follows from this.

• proportionality in privacy intrusionsdecisive»Vi motsätter oss alla lagar som innebär oproportionerliga ingrepp i integriteten.« (party programme ↗)“We oppose all laws that constitute disproportionate intrusions into privacy.”
• prevention before control»Det viktigaste brottsförebyggande arbetet sker genom att minska marginaliseringen och utsattheten i samhället.« (party programme ↗)“The most important crime prevention work happens through reducing marginalization and exposure in society.”
• cooperation school and police»lätta på sekretessen mellan områdespoliser, skola, socialtjänst och stärka samarbetet med civilsamhälle så att inga barn faller mellan stolarna i det förebyggande arbetet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“ease secrecy between local police, school, social services and strengthen cooperation with civil society so that no children fall through the cracks in preventive work.”
• counter discrimination»Strukturell diskriminering och rasism ska upphöra.« (party programme ↗)“Structural discrimination and racism shall end.”

The election manifesto explicitly rejects stop-and-search zones and other general search powers, and the party programme requires proportionality between a law's interference with privacy and its purpose. Placing bag searches on school staff and introducing blanket reporting requirements runs counter to that line. The plan's answer is instead more police present in everyday life, preventive measures and a safe school with better student health support.

• no to stop-and-search powersdecisive»Rättsstaten och individens rättigheter gentemot staten måste försvaras. Vi säger därför nej till visitationszoner, kollektiv bestraffning, omvänd bevisbörda, anonyma vittnen, preventiv avlyssning och inskränkningar av religionsfriheten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The rule of law and the individual's rights against the state must be defended. We therefore say no to stop-and-search zones, collective punishment, reversed burden of proof, anonymous witnesses, preventive surveillance and restrictions on religious freedom.”
• proportionality and privacy»Det måste finnas en proportionalitet mellan lagstiftningens inskränkning av medborgarnas integritet och lagarnas syfte.« (party programme ↗)“There must be proportionality between legislation's restriction of citizens' privacy and the laws' purpose.”
• police close to daily life»Fler poliser ska finnas närvarande i vardagen, både i utsatta områden och på landsbygden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More police shall be present in everyday life, both in vulnerable areas and in the countryside.”
• safe school and student support»Skolan ska vara en trygg plats — fri från rasism, homofobi och trakasserier grundade på kön — där barn kan växa och utvecklas. En bättre elevhälsa är en förutsättning för det.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“School shall be a safe place—free from racism, homophobia and harassment based on gender—where children can grow and develop. Better student health support is a prerequisite for that.”

The election manifesto explicitly requires that the main rule becomes that the school always makes police reports and concern reports and when suspected crime, and that teachers' authority over students who cause disruption increases. The party programme wishes that all reported crimes are investigated even when the suspected person is under 15 years. The counter-proposal's requirement for exceptions to the reporting obligation and that only police may examine bags thus contradicts the plan.

• school shall always make police reportsdecisive»För att polis och socialtjänst alltid ska få kännedom om barn som är på fel väg i livet ska huvudregeln bli att skolan alltid gör polisanmälan och orosanmälan vid misstänkt brottslighet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In order for police and social services always to learn of children who are on a wrong path in life, the main rule shall be that the school always makes police reports and concern reports when suspected crime.”
• increased authority for the school»Vi vill ge lärare ökad rätt att agera mot elever som förstör för klasskompisar och sig själv och tydliggöra i skollaget att det är läraren – inte eleverna – som ska bestämma över undervisningens upplägg.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to give teachers increased right to act against students who cause disruption to classmates and themselves and clarify in the school law that it is the teacher – not the students – who shall determine the organisation of teaching.”
• crimes investigated regardless of age»Huvudregeln ska vara att alla brott som anmäls till polis och där den misstänkte är under 15 år ska« (party programme ↗)“The main rule shall be that all crimes reported to police and where the suspected person is under 15 years shall”
• violence prevention in schools»Alla skolor ska stärka sitt våldspreventiva arbete.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All schools shall strengthen their violence-prevention work.”

The plan requires that all crimes are effectively and without exception prosecuted, also those that can be dismissed as minor offences, which argues against exempting minor incidents from the duty to report. It also wants the police's mandate to be clarified towards crime-fighting rather than the police taking over the school's order tasks. That the school's working environment should be permeated by security and good order points in the same direction.

• all crimes shall be prosecuteddecisive»Alla brott ska effektivt och utan undantag beivras, också sådana som kan avfärdas som smärre brott och förseelser.« (party programme ↗)“All crimes shall be effectively and without exception prosecuted, also those that can be dismissed as minor crimes and offences.”
• clarified police mandate»Renodla polisens uppdrag. Polisen fokuserar idag alldeles för mycket på annat än brottsbekämpning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Clarify the police mandate. The police today focus far too much on things other than crime-fighting.”
• rapid response and detection risk»En snabb reaktion på begångna brott och en ökad upptäcktsrisk för förövarna är viktigt.« (party programme ↗)“A rapid response to crimes committed and an increased detection risk for perpetrators is important.”
• security and order in school»Det är viktigt att skolans arbetsmiljö genomsyras av trygghet, arbetsro och god ordning.« (party programme ↗)“It is important that the school's working environment is permeated by security, work peace and good order.”

The plan wants to strengthen teachers' and headmasters' authority to intervene in disruptive situations and to enshrine order and educational environment in the school's principal statute, thus giving the school its own powers. It simultaneously wants to refocus the police's task to detecting, investigating and clearing up crime, which speaks against the police handling bag checks in schools. The plan also wants to remove all confidentiality barriers so information reaches the police, which goes against the objection to a broad reporting duty.

• headmaster's authority to intervenedecisive»Stärka lärares och rektorers auktoritet att kunna ingripa i stökiga situationer« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen teachers' and headmasters' authority to be able to intervene in disruptive situations”
• focused police task»Renodla Polisens uppdrag med fokus på att upptäcka, utreda och klara upp brott« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Refocus the Police's task with focus on detecting, investigating and clearing up crime”
• information must reach the police»Undanröja alla sekretesshinder mellan socialtjänst och polis« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove all confidentiality barriers between social services and the police”
• order and educational environment in school»Skriva in ordning och studiero i skollagens portalparagraf och införa ordningsomdömen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Enshrine order and educational environment in the school's principal statute and introduce conduct assessments”

The election manifesto wants to give social services, schools and the justice system the opportunity to intervene with tougher measures at an early stage, give teachers increased powers and introduce zero tolerance so that even minor crimes are investigated and prosecuted. The counter-proposal instead wants to transfer preliminary investigations to the police and exempt minor incidents from the duty to report. This goes against the plan's line on sharp powers in schools.

• early interventions in schoolsdecisive»Ge socialtjänst, skola och rättsväsende möjlighet att ingripa med tuffare tag i ett tidigt skede« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give social services, schools and the justice system the opportunity to intervene with tougher measures at an early stage”
• increased powers for schools»Ge lärare ökade befogenheter och bättre ställning i sin yrkesroll« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give teachers increased powers and better standing in their professional role”
• zero tolerance in schools»Nolltolerans ska råda mot hot och våld i skolan och möjligheten att ingripa med skarpa åtgärder mot elever som skapar en dålig arbetsmiljö för andra ska ses över.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Zero tolerance shall prevail against threats and violence in school and the possibility to intervene with sharp measures against students who create a poor working environment for others should be reviewed.”
• even minor crimes prosecuted»Införa nolltolerans mot brott så att även mindre allvarliga brott utreds och lagförs« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce zero tolerance for crime so that even minor crimes are investigated and prosecuted”
