National Exit Program

The election manifesto explicitly lists an effective exit programme among the measures with which crime is to be met, along with the fight against its deeper causes. The plan prioritises preventive measures before repression and wants to strengthen social services to prevent children and young people from being drawn into criminal environments. The counter-proposal's demand that a well-functioning national exit service quickly comes into place therefore directly responds to the plan's commitment.

• effective exit programmedecisive»Kriminaliteten behöver mötas både med ett fungerande och närvarande rättssystem som fler patrullerande poliser, arbete mot narkotikahandel, kamp mot tillgången till illegala skjutvapen och ett effektivt avhopparprogram« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Crime needs to be met both with a functioning and present justice system as more patrolling police, work against drug trafficking, fighting access to illegal firearms and an effective exit programme”
• stop new recruitment»Vissa straff kan behöva höjas men mycket mer fokus måste riktas mot att förhindra rekryteringen av nya barn till gängkriminalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Some sentences may need to be raised but much more focus must be directed toward preventing the recruitment of new children into gang crime.”
• prevention before repression»Alltför ofta lyfts repression och hårdare tag upp som lösningar istället för att ta itu med problemen på allvar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Too often repression and harsher measures are presented as solutions instead of tackling the problems seriously.”
• strengthened social services»förstärk socialtjänsten med tillräckliga resurser och kunskap för att arbeta både förebyggande och med barnskydd« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen social services with adequate resources and knowledge to work both preventively and with child protection”

The election manifesto's core commitment is that for every pound spent on more police, at least one pound should be spent on preventive work and that recruitment into criminal and destructive environments must be stopped with more and more far-reaching social measures. The plan also requires strengthened social services and more cooperation between police, student health, social services and schools. A well-functioning national exit programme is an application of precisely this, even though the plan does not mention exit programmes.

• preventive work prioritizeddecisive»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 should be spent on preventive work.”
• stop recruitment»Ingen ung ska bli kriminell. Nyrekryteringen måste stoppas. Vi vill se fler och mer långtgående sociala insatser« (2022 manifesto ↗)“No young person should become criminal. Recruitment must be stopped. We want to see more and more far-reaching social measures”
• inter-agency cooperation»Det behövs mer samarbete mellan polis, elevhälsa, socialtjänst och skola.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There is a need for more cooperation between police, student health, social services and schools.”
• strengthened social services»Att socialtjänsten stärks är centralt för att fånga upp unga i tid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthening social services is crucial to reach young people in time.”

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 election manifesto wants to make it easier to break free from gangs' destructive life, introduce exit support after completed sentences and make a major push on prevention work in disadvantaged areas. A well-functioning national exit programme is precisely such a means for people to leave extremist and gang environments. The party programme also bases crime prevention work as the foundation for a safe society.

• facilitate exit from gangsdecisive»Så vaccinerar vi våra barn mot gängens locktoner och gör det lättare att bryta sig fri från deras destruktiva liv.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“So we vaccinate our children against gangs' seductive voices and make it easier to break free from their destructive life.”
• exit support after detention»förstärka vårdinsatser och utbildning under tiden den unge är frihetsberövad, samt införa en utslussningsverksamhet när straffet är avtjänat.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen care measures and education while the young person is deprived of liberty, and introduce an exit support programme when the sentence is completed.”
• prevention work in vulnerable areas»storsatsa på det förebyggande arbetet i socioekonomiskt eftersatta områden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“make a major push on prevention work in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas.”
• prevention before punishment»Det brottsförebyggande arbetet är grunden för ett tryggt samhälle med låg kriminalitet.« (party programme ↗)“Crime prevention work is the foundation for a safe society with low criminality.”

The plan requires better measures that prevent recruitment to gangs and that preventative measures are prioritised throughout the criminal justice chain. It also establishes that criminal policy shall encourage those who have committed crime towards a new life situation without criminality, which is the very purpose of exit programmes. Quickly establishing a well-functioning national exit programme therefore follows from the plan.

• prevent recruitment to gangsdecisive»Samhället ska inte vika sig för gängen. För att besegra dem krävs bättre insatser som förebygger nyrekrytering, mer resurser till polis, åklagare, domstolar och kriminalvården och strängare straff.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Society shall not bow to gangs. To defeat them requires better measures that prevent recruitment, more resources to police, prosecutors, courts and prisons and stricter sentences.”
• support to leave criminality»Kriminalpolitiken ska därför både förebygga och avskräcka från brott, stödja brottsdrabbade och stimulera dem som har begått olagliga handlingar till en ny livssituation utan brottslighet.« (party programme ↗)“Criminal policy shall therefore both prevent and deter crime, support crime victims and encourage those who have committed illegal acts towards a new life situation without criminality.”
• invest in preventative measures»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 criminal justice chain, invest in preventative measures and equal education.”

The election manifesto explicitly requires that a national exit programme is introduced so that more can leave a criminal life behind. The counter-proposal's requirement that a well-functioning national exit activity quickly comes into place is the same matter in substance. The plan furthermore emphasises earlier, clearer and tougher preventive measures and wants to prevent that people are drawn into extremist environments.

• national exit programmedecisive»Ett nationellt avhopparprogram ska införas för att fler ska kunna lämna ett kriminellt liv bakom sig.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“A national exit programme shall be introduced so that more can leave a criminal life behind.”
• early preventive measures»Tidigare, tydligare och tuffare insatser för att förebygga och förhindra att unga glider in i brottslighet måste till.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Earlier, clearer and tougher measures to prevent and prevent that young people slide into criminality must come.”
• counter extremist environments»Vi vill både stärka uppföljningen av bidragsgivning och stoppa dold finansiering av trossamfund så att de inte blir verktyg för extremistiska krafter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want both to strengthen follow-up of grant allocation and stop hidden financing of faith communities so that they do not become tools for extremist forces.”
• way out of criminality»Den som avtjänat sitt straff ska få ökade möjligheter till ett tidsbegränsat jobb med offentligt stöd för att« (party programme ↗)“The person who has served their sentence shall have increased opportunities for limited-time employment with public support to”

The election manifesto explicitly requires a national departure programme as a crime prevention measure, which is exactly what the counter-proposal seeks to ensure is put in place. The plan also wants preventive work to become more equitable across the country through national structures. Supporting those who leave a criminal environment responds to the plan's commitment to reintegration to prevent continued criminality.

• national departure programmedecisive»Förebygg brott genom att stärka föreningslivet samt inrättande av mentorskapsprogram och nationellt avhopparprogram.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Prevent crime by strengthening civil society as well as establishing mentorship programmes and a national departure programme.”
• nationally equitable prevention»Stärk sociala insatser och socialtjänstens möjligheter till tvingande åtgärder gentemot barn och unga som begår brott. Inrätta en nationell social insatsstyrka, så det förebyggande arbetet stärks och blir mer lika i landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen social services and the social services' capacity for coercive measures against children and young people who commit crimes. Establish a national social response force, so that preventive work is strengthened and becomes more equal across the country.”
• prevention first»Det viktigaste sättet att bekämpa brottslighet är genom« (party programme ↗)“The most important way to combat crime is through”
• reintegration to prevent relapse»och bostad för att denne efter avtjänat straff ska kunna återinträda i samhället och inte återfalla i brottslighet.« (party programme ↗)“and housing so that this person after serving their sentence can reintegrate into society and not relapse into criminality.”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to establish a national exit programme for gang criminals, which is precisely what the counter-proposal wants to secure comes into place. The plan frames this in the largest crime prevention reform package in modern times and investments in social services and schools to prevent more from being drawn into crime. It also wants to strengthen democracy's defense against violent extremism, which covers the counter-proposal's extremism motive.

• national exit programmedecisive»Inrätta ett nationellt kunskapscentrum för brottsprevention och ett nationellt avhopparprogram för gängkriminella« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Establish a national knowledge center for crime prevention and a national exit programme for gang criminals”
• comprehensive crime prevention work»Moderaterna vill därför genomföra det största brottsförebyggande reformpaketet i modern tid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Moderate Party therefore wants to implement the largest crime prevention reform package in modern times.”
• long-term prevention»Samtidigt behövs satsningar på socialtjänsten och skolan för att på sikt förhindra att fler dras in i kriminalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Meanwhile, investments in social services and schools are needed to in the long term prevent more from being drawn into crime.”
• defense against extremism»Vi måste också stärka demokratins skydd mot våldsbejakande extremism och andra kriminella hot.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We must also strengthen democracy's defense against violent extremism and other criminal threats.”

The plan wants to break the attractiveness of a criminal lifestyle and give social services, schools and courts the opportunity to intervene early, and to increase social services' preventive efforts for young people at risk. A functioning national exit program is such a tool for extricating individuals from criminal and extremist environments. The plan also offers equivalent help to those who want to break free from an oppressive environment.

• preventive social services effortsdecisive»Att socialtjänstens förebyggande insatser ska öka för att tidigt fånga upp ungdomar på glid« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Social services' preventive efforts should increase to catch young people at risk early”
• early interventions»Ge socialtjänst, skola och rättsväsende möjlighet att ingripa med tuffare tag i ett tidigt skede« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give social services, schools and courts the opportunity to intervene with tougher measures at an early stage”
• break criminal lifestyle»Bryta attraktiveten av en kriminell livsstil« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Break the attractiveness of a criminal lifestyle”
• help to break free from the environment»Ändamålsenlig hjälp bör erbjudas till den som vill bryta med en kultur eller religion under vilken de utsätts för hedersförtryck av familj eller bredare kollektiv.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Appropriate help should be offered to those who want to break free from a culture or religion under which they are subjected to honor oppression by family or broader collective.”
