Size of the prohibition area

The plan values personal integrity and a broad private sphere and warns that control and police abuse are particularly directed at young people in poor areas. A legally established maximum radius sets an outer limit to how far the restriction of freedom of movement can go and is thereby in line with the plan's rule-of-law requirements. The plan does not, however, take a position on whether a proportionality assessment in itself is sufficient.

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 says nothing about geographic maximum limits for restraining orders, but it commits to uncompromising fight against crime and more tools for police throughout the country. A maximum radius set in law would restrict the tool more than the plan envisages. The plan's rule-of-law requirement for impartiality is satisfied by the mandatory proportionality assessment, which is why the conclusion is that the plan does not support the counter-proposal's requirement.

• uncompromising crime preventiondecisive»Kampen mot kriminaliteten ska vara kompromisslös.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The fight against crime shall be uncompromising.”
• more tools for police»Polisen behöver också fler verktyg, som bättre möjligheter till avlyssning och husrannsakan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The police also need more tools, such as better possibilities for surveillance and searches.”

• impartial public administration»beakta allas likhet inför lagen och iaktta saklighet och opartiskhet.« (party programme ↗)“respect everyone's equality before the law and observe impartiality and fairness.”

The plan's bearing commitment here is that the party opposes all laws that constitute disproportionate intrusions into privacy and that legal security shall be protected when the justice system receives new tools. A prohibition area without a legally mandated maximum size leaves the scope of the restriction on freedom open, which a maximum radius in the law would limit. The counter-proposal's requirement therefore aligns with the plan's protection of the individual's freedom and privacy.

The plan is restrictive towards collective restrictions on freedom of movement and says no to stop-and-search zones and collective punishment. The party programme requires proportionality between restriction and purpose and establishes that freedom may only be limited by respect for others' equal right to freedom. A statutorily set maximum radius is such a proportionality protection, which is why the plan supports the counter-proposal's demand. The plan's wording does not address the question of whether a mandatory proportionality assessment in itself is sufficient.

• no to collective punishmentdecisive»Vi säger därför nej till visitationszoner, kollektiv bestraffning, omvänd bevisbörda, anonyma vittnen, preventiv avlyssning och inskränkningar av religionsfriheten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We therefore say no to stop-and-search zones, collective punishment, reversed burden of proof, anonymous witnesses, preventive wiretapping and restrictions on religious freedom.”
• proportionality in restrictions»Det måste finnas en proportionalitet mellan lagstiftningens inskränkning av medborgarnas integritet och lagarnas syfte.« (party programme ↗)“There must be proportionality between the legislation's restriction of citizens' privacy and the purpose of the laws.”

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 wants to test residence bans in vulnerable areas and give the police more tools, and it limits integrity infringements through a proportionality requirement in the individual case rather than through blanket measures. The counter-proposal's requirement for a legally established maximum radius is such a blanket measure that the plan does not call for and that risks undermining the tool's effect. The plan's integrity protection simultaneously points in the opposite direction, which is why certainty in the conclusion is low.

• residence bans in vulnerable areasdecisive»pröva möjligheten att införa vistelseförbud för dömda kriminella i utsatta områden« (2022 manifesto ↗)“test the possibility of introducing residence bans for convicted criminals in vulnerable areas”
• more tools for the police»Ge polisen fler verktyg och vapen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give the police more tools and weapons.”

The plan prioritizes crime prevention and requires that crimes are effectively combated, which presupposes that the police can adapt tools to the individual case. The counter-proposal requires a maximum radius established in law, that is a general limitation of the measure's scope. The plan's personal integrity protection speaks for restraint but does not bear a standardized ceiling; the main line on effective measures against gang crime weighs more heavily.

• prioritized crime preventiondecisive»Vi prioriterar tryggheten, vi är redo att bekämpa brotten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We prioritize security, we are ready to combat crimes.”
• effective crime prevention»Alla brott ska effektivt och utan undantag beivras« (party programme ↗)“All crimes shall effectively and without exception be combated”
• protection of personal integrity»Den personliga integriteten ska ha ett starkt« (party programme ↗)“The right to personal privacy shall have strong”

The plan's core commitment is to give police better opportunities to search for weapons and to prohibit convicted perpetrators of violence from residing in a residential area. A legally established maximum radius would limit precisely the reach the plan wants to achieve, which is why the plan speaks against the counter-proposal's demands. The plan's requirement for legally grounded and predictable exercise of power remains as a counterweight, but the decisive line is effective tools against gang crime.

• residence ban in residential areadecisive»Införa vistelseförbud för personer som dömts för våld i nära relation, så att den som utsatt sin tidigare partner för våld och övergrepp kan förbjudas att vara i ett visst bostadsområde även efter att ha släppts ur fängelset« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce residence bans for persons convicted of violence in intimate relationships, so that someone who has subjected their former partner to violence and abuse can be prohibited from being in a certain residential area even after release from prison”
• geographic police tools»Införa visitationszoner så att Polisen får bättre möjligheter att leta efter vapen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce stop-and-search zones so that the Police get better opportunities to search for weapons”
• adapted legislation against gangs»Gängen är Sveriges inhemska terrorister – och lagstiftningen måste anpassas därefter så att fler ställs till svars och försvinner från gatan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Gangs are Sweden's domestic terrorists – and legislation must be adjusted accordingly so that more are held accountable and disappear from the streets.”
• legally grounded exercise of power»All offentlig maktutövning ska vara lagstyrd och vägledas av« (party programme ↗)“All public exercise of power shall be legally grounded and guided by”

The plan wants to give the justice system far-reaching opportunities to restrict freedom of movement for gang members and believes few measures are too far-reaching against gangs. A legally established maximum radius would bind the application regardless of how large an area a gang controls and thus curtail the tool. The plan's demand for security in all residential areas speaks against the counter-proposal's limitation.

• uncompromising stance against gangsdecisive»Sverigedemokraterna anser att få politiska åtgärder är för långtgående när det kommer till att pressa tillbaka både de kriminella gängen och den kultur som gör att de får fäste.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats believe that few political measures are too far-reaching when it comes to pushing back both criminal gangs and the culture that gives them a foothold.”
• restricted freedom of movement»att begränsa rörelsefriheten för gängaktiva« (2022 manifesto ↗)“restricting freedom of movement for gang members”
• effective tools against gang crime»Framförallt behöver rättsväsendet få mer effektiva verktyg för att bekämpa gängbrott.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Most importantly, the justice system needs more effective tools to combat gang crime.”
• security in all residential areas»Öka tryggheten i hela Sverige och i alla bostadsområden« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Increase security throughout Sweden and in all residential areas”
