Mandatory education for those convicted of buying sex

The plan defends the law against purchasing sexual services but explicitly states that criminalizing the buyers alone cannot eradicate prostitution. That a sentence be combined with mandatory instruction about the causes and consequences of sex trafficking is such a complementary measure in the direction the plan indicates, and it connects to the demand for forceful action against sexual abuse. Sentencing conditions are not specifically mentioned, so the conclusion is derived.

• criminalization is not enoughdecisive»Kriminaliseringen av könsköparna kan inte ensamt utrota prostitutionen, men samhället markerar sin syn på könsköp.« (party programme ↗)“Criminalization of the buyers alone cannot eradicate prostitution, but society makes clear its position on buying sexual services.”
• defend the law against purchasing sexual services»försvarar lagen som förbjuder köp av sexuella tjänster« (party programme ↗)“defends the law that prohibits the purchase of sexual services”
• forceful action against sexual abuse»I ett tryggt samhälle tar vi krafttag mot våld, hedersförtryck och sexuella kränkningar mot kvinnor, barn och hbtqi-personer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In a safe society we take forceful action against violence, honour-based oppression and sexual abuse against women, children and LGBTQ people.”
• prostitution as gender power issue»Pornografi och prostitution är besläktade fenomen.« (party programme ↗)“Pornography and prostitution are related phenomena.”

The plan requires forceful action against sexual crimes and men's violence against women and wants to continue the line that has toughened the response to assaults. Combining a sex purchase conviction with mandatory education about the causes and consequences of prostitution is such a measure, and also follows from the plan's requirement to combat both the crimes and the causes of crime. The plan does not comment on sentencing conditions as a technique.

The plan wants to sharpen the consent law so that it becomes clear that prostitution does not imply consent to sex, and is based on a consent culture permeating society through education. It also wants to see professional treatment of perpetrators of violence and criminal justice aimed at preventing the convicted from reoffending. Mandatory education for those convicted of purchasing sex on prostitution's causes and consequences follows from these commitments.

The party programme wants to see a society free from prostitution and human trafficking, and according to the plan criminal policy should stimulate convicted persons to a new situation without crime. A condition of mandatory education for those convicted of buying sex is such a recidivism prevention measure aimed at demand. The plan's stricter stance on sexual crimes points in the same direction.

• society free from prostitutiondecisive»vill se ett samhälle fritt från våld i hemmet, människohandel och prostitution.« (party programme ↗)“wants to see a society free from domestic violence, human trafficking and prostitution.”
• recidivism prevention measures»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 should therefore both prevent and deter crime, support crime victims and stimulate those who have committed illegal acts to a new situation without crime.”
• stricter stance on sexual crimes»Män som slår ska inte komma undan. Vi vill höja straffen för sexualbrott, grov fridskränkning och grov kvinnofridskränkning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Men who hit should not get away with it. We want to increase sentences for sexual crimes, gross assault and gross assault against women.”

The party programme establishes the ban on sex purchasing and that the most important measure is to eliminate demand, and that efforts against intimate partner violence shall focus on perpetrators who shall undergo treatment. A requirement for mandatory education for those convicted of sex purchasing on the causes and consequences of sex trafficking is precisely a demand-reducing perpetrator measure. The plan also requires that treatment and education shall be included in the execution of sentence.

• eliminate demand for sex purchasingdecisive»Den viktigaste insatsen är att få bort efterfrågan.« (party programme ↗)“The most important measure is to eliminate demand.”
• treatment of perpetrators»genomgå behandling samt kunna åläggas omfattande begränsningar i den geografiska rörelsefriheten.« (party programme ↗)“undergo treatment and may be imposed comprehensive restrictions on geographical freedom of movement.”

The plan demands that the sentence be designed so that it gives the perpetrator insight into the damage he has caused and that individual prevention shall include a variety of measures. Mandatory education about the causes and consequences of sex trafficking is such a measure and serves the plan's commitment to vigorously combat sexualized human trafficking. The election manifesto furthermore shows that the party is prepared to couple special conditions to the sentence in sexual crimes.

• sentence that provides insightdecisive»Straffet ska vara så utformat att det ger brottslingen« (party programme ↗)“The sentence shall be designed so that it gives the offender”
• individual prevention»ska innefatta en mångfald av insatser från samhällets sida.« (party programme ↗)“shall include a variety of measures from society's side.”
• combat human trafficking»EU ska nyttjas för att med kraft motarbeta den sexualiserade slavhandeln med kvinnor och barn.« (party programme ↗)“The EU shall be used to vigorously combat sexualized human trafficking of women and children.”
• conditions coupled to sentence»kemisk kastrering som villkor för villkorlig frigivning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“chemical castration as a condition for conditional release”

The plan prioritizes preventing reoffending, among other things through severe sentence enhancements for reoffenders, and the programme gives the prison service the task of giving convicts an opportunity to return to community membership. A condition of mandatory education for those convicted of buying sex is such a reoffending prevention measure and does not undermine the plan's requirement for toughened sentences for sexual crimes. The plan does however not address the consequences conditions of the sexual services law.

• prevent reoffendingdecisive»Införa ett system med kraftiga straffskärpningar vid återfall« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce a system with severe sentence enhancements for reoffenders”
• pathway back for convicts»kriminella en möjlighet att ta sig tillbaka in i samhällsgemenskapen.« (party programme ↗)“criminals an opportunity to return to community membership.”
• toughened sexual crime sentences»Skärpa straffen för vålds- och sexualbrott« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Tighten sentences for violent and sexual crimes”

The plan does not address education conditions for those convicted of buying sex. The nearest commitment is that punishment in addition to restitution should also prevent those convicted from committing new crimes and that sentences for sexual crimes shall be significantly increased. A mandatory education condition is an additional obligation for the convicted that aims at precisely reducing reoffending, and therefore does not conflict with the plan. The committee's reasons that the work takes place within existing frameworks are not addressed.

• punishment shall prevent reoffendingdecisive»Straff ska inte bara ses som en rehabiliterande åtgärd, utan genom att stå i proportion till gärningen ge upprättelse åt brottsoffer och genom inkapacitering hindra att farliga kriminella kan begå nya brott.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Punishment shall not only be seen as a rehabilitative measure, but by standing in proportion to the deed provide restitution to crime victims and through incapacitation prevent dangerous criminals from committing new crimes.”
• increased sentences for sexual crimes»Kraftigt skärpa straffen för sexualbrott och utvisa utländska våldtäktsmän på livstid« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Significantly increase sentences for sexual crimes and deport foreign rapists for life”
• better tools in the justice chain»Rättsväsendets samverkan mellan myndigheter och verktyg för att upptäcka och lagföra kriminella ska förbättras.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The justice system's cooperation between agencies and tools to detect and prosecute criminals shall be improved.”
