Resources for supervision etc.

The plan wants the police's and customs' resources to increase and that there be effective and independent systems to scrutinize the professions that are allowed to exercise violence. It also states that democracy is undermined without a well-functioning justice system and that the rule of law's principles and personal integrity must be protected. That it evaluate and ensure state authorities' resources within a year so that tasks can be performed effectively and lawfully follows from this.

• increased resources to authoritiesdecisive»Tullens och polisens resurser måste öka för att komma åt de pengar som driver narkotikahandeln.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Customs and police resources must increase to reach the money driving drug trafficking.”
• scrutiny of authorities»oberoende system för att granska de yrkesgrupper, till exempel polisen« (party programme ↗)“independent systems to scrutinize the professions, for example the police”
• functioning justice system»Utan ett väl fungerande rättsväsende undergrävs demokratin och« (party programme ↗)“Without a well-functioning justice system democracy is undermined and”
• legal protection»personliga integriteten och fundamentala principer i en rättsstat« (party programme ↗)“personal integrity and fundamental principles in a rule of law”

The plan wants to sharply increase resources for police and the justice system and mobilise society's full strength against crime, which presupposes that authorities actually have resources for new tasks. The party programme moreover requires that administration be governed by professionalism and impartiality and regard everyone's equality before the law, which is precisely the legal security requirement the counter-proposal ties to resources. Supporting substantive evaluation and securing resources is therefore supported.

• resources for the justice systemdecisive»Kraftigt öka antalet poliser på våra gator och torg. Vi vill säkra och stärka polisnärvaron i hela landet. Polisen behöver också fler verktyg, som bättre möjligheter till avlyssning och husrannsakan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sharply increase the number of police officers on our streets and squares. We want to secure and strengthen police presence throughout the country. Police also need more tools, such as better opportunities for wiretapping and house searches.”
• mobilise against crime»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 must be uncompromising. Society's full strength shall be mobilised to push back the criminals, cut off new recruitment into crime and increase security.”
• professional administration»ska genomföra de politiska besluten, styrs av professionalitet och oväld.« (party programme ↗)“shall implement the political decisions, governed by professionalism and impartiality.”
• legally secure exercise of authority»beakta allas likhet inför lagen och iaktta saklighet och opartiskhet.« (party programme ↗)“regard everyone's equality before the law and observe objectivity and impartiality.”

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 requires that the law-enforcement agencies be given the tools required while legal certainty is secured, which presupposes that the resources actually suffice for the new tasks. The counter-proposal's requirement that resources be evaluated and secured within a year, so that tasks can be performed effectively and with legal certainty, follows from that commitment. The election manifesto also wants to see more and better paid police, and the plan requires good public insight into law-enforcement activities.

• resources for the legal systemdecisive»rättsvårdande myndigheterna ska ges de verktyg« (party programme ↗)“law-enforcement agencies shall be given the tools”
• strengthened police resources»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 counteract parallel societies.”
• insight into the legal system»Det ska finnas god medborgerlig insyn i all« (party programme ↗)“There shall be good public insight into all”

The plan requires more resources for police, prosecutors, courts and criminal justice and that processing times for handling and public administration be shortened, while the state shall perform its duties efficiently and legally securely. Evaluating and ensuring public authorities' resources within a year is a means to that, even though the plan also requires that public funds be used sparingly. The plan does not mention this specific task.

• resources to the justice chaindecisive»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 must not back down to gangs. To defeat them requires better preventive measures, more resources for police, prosecutors, courts and criminal justice and tougher penalties.”
• shorter processing times and legal security»Ledtiderna för handläggning och myndighetsutövning i domstolar och myndigheter måste kortas och tillgången till ombud förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Processing times for handling and public administration in courts and agencies must be shortened and access to legal representation improved.”
• efficient and legally secure state»Staten är till för människan, inte tvärtom.« (party programme ↗)“The state is for people, not the other way around.”
• manage public funds carefully»Politiken ska hushålla med skattebetalarnas pengar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Politics must manage taxpayers' money carefully.”

The plan requires that the rule of law be strengthened and the legal system's capacity and efficiency be improved, and specifically points out the need for more judges, prosecutors, detention facilities, and corrections officers. It also wants oversight of government authorities' exercise of power to be developed through strong oversight bodies. To within a year evaluate and ensure resources so that tasks can be carried out efficiently and with legal certainty follows from these commitments.

• resources for legal chaindecisive»Samtidigt behöver vi fler domare och fler åklagare, och fler häkten och fängelser med fler kriminalvårdare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Meanwhile we need more judges and more prosecutors, and more detention facilities and prisons with more corrections officers.”
• efficient legal system»förmåga och effektivitet behöver förbättras så att handläggningstiderna kortas, fler brott anmäls och klaras« (party programme ↗)“capacity and efficiency need to be improved so that processing times are shortened, more crimes are reported and solved”

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 manifesto establishes that the entire judicial system needs to be expanded and that more police require more prosecutors, courts and expanded prison capacity, and the plan requires that criminal justice and probation be given sufficient resources and that prosecutors can swiftly bring charges. To evaluate and ensure authorities' resources for new tasks follows from this, as does the fact that monitoring is an important political task.

• expanded judicial systemdecisive»Hela rättsväsendet behöver byggas ut. Fler poliser kräver fler åklagare, domstolar på fler platser i landet och en kraftigt utbyggd kriminalvård.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The entire judicial system needs to be expanded. More police require more prosecutors, courts in more locations in the country and substantially expanded prison capacity.”
• sufficient resources»Kriminal- och frivården ska ges tillräckliga« (party programme ↗)“Criminal justice and probation shall be given sufficient”
• swift prosecution»Åklagarna ska skyndsamt väcka och utföra åtal.« (party programme ↗)“Prosecutors shall swiftly bring and conduct charges.”
• monitoring and control»Utvärdering, kostnadsuppföljning och kvalitetskontroll är därför viktiga politiska« (party programme ↗)“Evaluation, cost tracking and quality control are therefore important political”

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 states that the justice system is obviously underdimensioned and promises more prosecutors, more prison places and a customs authority with more resources, and that the expansion shall proceed in step between the authorities. The counter-proposal's requirement that resources be evaluated and secured within a year so that the authorities can carry out their tasks efficiently and fairly, follows from exactly that timing and resource logic. The plan thus supports the requirement in substance.

• underdimensioned justice systemdecisive»Svenskt rättsväsende är uppenbart underdimensionerat i förhållande till den kriminalitet som samhället drabbas av idag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Swedish justice system is obviously underdimensioned in relation to the criminality that society is afflicted with today.”
• resources in step between authorities»Det är därför angeläget att öka rekryteringen av åklagare så att utbyggnaden av Åklagarmyndigheten kan gå i takt med polisens utökning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is therefore important to increase recruitment of prosecutors so that the expansion of the Prosecution Authority can proceed in step with the police's expansion.”
• more prosecutors»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 conviction”
• resources for supervision and control»Stärka tullen med mer resurser och kraftfulla befogenheter för att stoppa stöldligor och vapensmugglare« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen customs with more resources and strong powers to stop theft gangs and weapons smugglers”

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 commits to ensuring investments for a substantially reinforced justice system and to giving the justice system resources and tools, and the party programme establishes that the law-enforcing authorities must be allocated necessary resources. The plan simultaneously requires clear results for every public investment. To within one year evaluate and ensure the authorities' resources for new tasks thereby follows the plan's commitments.

• reinforced justice systemdecisive»Säkerställa satsningar för ett kraftigt upprustat rättsväsende« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Ensure investments for a substantially reinforced justice system”
• necessary resources»Polisen, gränsskyddet och de rättsvårdande myndigheterna måste tilldelas erforderliga resurser« (party programme ↗)“The police, border guard and law-enforcing authorities must be allocated necessary resources”
• resources and tools»Ge rättsväsendet resurser och verktyg för att bekämpa gängen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give the justice system resources and tools to combat gangs”
• results for investments»Begära tydliga resultat för varje offentlig satsning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Demand clear results for every public investment”
