Support during and follow-up and support after placement

The plan's guiding commitment in the area is that crime shall be met with preventive measures: school and social services shall be given resources to support vulnerable children, and focus shall be directed at preventing recruitment of children to crime. Demanding that imprisoned children's schooling is secured and followed up and that a national exit programme with contact person and support be established is an application of precisely that. The plan also explicitly mentions effective exit programmes.

• preventive schools and social servicesdecisive»ge skolan bättre resurser för att stödja elever som behöver det för att klara betygen och förstärk socialtjänsten med tillräckliga resurser och kunskap för att arbeta både förebyggande och med barnskydd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“give schools better resources to support pupils who need it to manage their grades and strengthen social services with sufficient resources and knowledge to work both preventively and with child protection.”
• prevent recruitment of children»Vissa straff kan behöva höjas men mycket mer fokus måste riktas mot att förhindra rekryteringen av nya barn till gängkriminalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Some punishments may need to be increased but much more focus must be directed at preventing the recruitment of new children to gang crime.”

• crime-preventing people-perspective»Vägen till ett samhälle med låg brottslighet går genom en genomtänkt« (party programme ↗)“The path to a society with low crime goes through thoughtful”

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 places rehabilitation and social reintegration at the centre of criminal care and sees school as the best tool for lifting children out of destructive environments. Requirements for municipalities to ensure education during and after detention, and a release programme with coordinated interventions, follow directly from this and from the commitment to active measures against recruitment. However, the plan does not specifically address detained children.

• school as a protective factor»Förskola, skola och fritids är de bästa verktygen vi har för att lyfta barn ur dysfunktionella miljöer och ge dem en bättre framtid.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Preschool, school and after-school care are the best tools we have for lifting children out of dysfunctional environments and giving them a better future.”
• stop recruitment of young people»Offensiva insatser mot nyrekrytering och utnyttjande av barn och unga.« (party programme ↗)“Active measures against recruitment and exploitation of children and young people.”

The election manifesto explicitly requires reinforced care measures and education while the young person is deprived of liberty and a transition programme after sentence is served. The party programme confirms that all children in the care of society shall be guaranteed safe and high-quality care and that school is decisive in preventing future criminality. The counter-proposal's requirement for secured schooling during and after deprivation of liberty and a national transition programme is precisely this.

• education and transition for young peopledecisive»höja maxtiden för sluten ungdomsvård och förstärka vårdinsatser och utbildning under tiden den unge är frihetsberövad, samt införa en utslussningsverksamhet när straffet är avtjänat.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“raise maximum time for closed youth detention and reinforce care measures and education while the young person is deprived of liberty, and introduce a transition programme when the sentence is served.”
• safe care for placed children»placeras i samhällets vård ska garanteras trygg, stabil och högkvalitativ omsorg.« (party programme ↗)“placed in society's care shall be guaranteed safe, stable and high-quality care.”
• school prevents criminality»Förebyggande insatser ska börja tidigt. Förskola och skola är avgörande för att stärka« (party programme ↗)“Preventive measures shall start early. Preschool and school are decisive in strengthening”
• coordinated support for young people»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 the secrecy between neighbourhood police, school, social services and strengthen collaboration with civil society so that no children fall through the cracks in preventive work.”

The plan states that criminal policy must both prevent crime and encourage those who have committed illegal acts toward a new life situation without criminality, and that measures preventing recruitment to crime must be strengthened. The school is identified as the first and largest equality work and all students shall receive proper support. Demands on municipalities to secure schooling for detained children and a national exit programme follow from these commitments.

• reintegration after crimedecisive»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 must therefore both prevent and deter crime, support crime victims and encourage those who have committed illegal acts toward a new life situation without criminality.”
• prevent recruitment to crime»För att besegra dem krävs bättre insatser som förebygger nyrekrytering, mer resurser till polis, åklagare, domstolar och kriminalvården och strängare straff.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To defeat them requires better measures preventing recruitment to crime, more resources to police, prosecutors, courts and criminal care, and harsher penalties.”
• school as equality work»För det är i skolan som det första och största jämlikhetsarbetet sker.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“For it is in the school that the first and largest equality work happens.”
• proper support for all students»Att förbättra skolresultaten måste vara en huvudprioritering. Det vill vi åstadkomma med bättre stöd och fortbildning för lärare och rektorer, och rätt stöd till alla elever.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improving school results must be a main priority. We want to achieve this with better support and professional development for teachers and principals, and proper support for all students.”

The plan states that schooling is often decisive for placed and taken-into-care children and that each such child shall be guaranteed the support needed to manage their education. It also wants to introduce a national drop-out prevention programme and that detainees receive education and individual follow-up. The counter-proposal's demands for education during deprivation of liberty, monitored schooling and a national release programme thus follow from the plan's own commitments.

• schooling for placed childrendecisive»För placerade och omhändertagna barn är skolgången ofta avgörande.« (party programme ↗)“For placed and taken-into-care children, schooling is often decisive.”
• national drop-out prevention programme»Ett nationellt avhopparprogram ska införas för att fler ska kunna lämna ett kriminellt liv bakom sig.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“A national drop-out prevention programme shall be introduced so that more can leave a criminal life behind.”
• individual follow-up»alla intagna garanteras individuell uppföljning« (party programme ↗)“all detainees are guaranteed individual follow-up”
• education during sentence»Intagna på fängelser ska erbjudas arbete, behandling och utbildning under strafftiden.« (party programme ↗)“Detainees in prisons shall be offered work, treatment and education during their sentence.”

The plan explicitly requires strengthened social measures for children and young people who commit crimes and a national social intervention force so that the work becomes more equitable in the country, as well as a national exit programme. The counter-proposal's requirements for municipal obligations regarding schooling of detained children and a national resettlement programme are the same in substance. The plan also requires society to support the convicted with education and employment to prevent reoffending.

• nationally equitable social measuresdecisive»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 measures and social services' ability to take compulsory action against children and young people who commit crimes. Establish a national social intervention force, so that preventive work is strengthened and becomes more equal in the country.”

The election manifesto explicitly promises that placed young people should be given better education, which is the core of the counter-proposal's requirement for education during and after detention. The plan also wants to establish a national no-entry program for young people at risk and a national exit program, that is precisely the kind of structured release that is sought. The counter-proposal's requirement thus lies within the plan's crime prevention reform package.

• education for placed young peopledecisive»Se till att placerade ungdomar ges bättre utbildning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Ensure that placed young people are given better education”
• national program for young people at risk»Ta bort sekretesshindren mellan polis och socialtjänst samt inrätta ett nationellt no entry-program för unga i riskzonen i syfte att snabbt stoppa en påbörjad kriminell karriär« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove the secrecy obstacles between police and social services and establish a national no-entry program for young people at risk in order to quickly stop an initiated criminal career”

The plan requires that the process around placed children be upgraded and quality-assured and that children and young people taken into care shall be able to trust society's care and achieve a better future. It also wants social services' preventive interventions to increase to catch young people at risk and that everyone gets the foundation for a profession. The counter-proposal's demands for secured schooling and a transition programme with a contact person and coordinated interventions follow from these commitments, even though the plan does not explicitly address children deprived of liberty.

• quality-assured care of placed childrendecisive»Det finns ett stort behov av att processen kring placerade barn uppgraderas och kvalitetssäkras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There is a great need for the process around placed children to be upgraded and quality-assured.”
• better future for those taken into care»Barn och unga som blir omhändertagna ska kunna lita på samhällets vård och nå en bättre tillvaro.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Children and young people taken into care shall be able to trust society's care and achieve a better future.”
• early interventions for at-risk young people»Att socialtjänstens förebyggande insatser ska öka för att tidigt fånga upp ungdomar på glid« (2022 manifesto ↗)“That social services' preventive interventions shall increase to early catch young people at risk”
