Preliminary investigations

The plan requires that the entire justice chain functions from report to prosecution and judgment in cases of men's violence, and that the police are trained and given resources for better investigations in crimes against women's peace. A broad independent review of how such investigations are conducted is exactly what the plan's requirement for a functioning justice chain requires. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's requirements.

• the entire justice chain should functiondecisive»För att lagstiftningen ska ha effekt, behöver hela rättskedjan fungera från anmälan till åtal och domslut.« (party programme ↗)“For the legislation to have effect, the entire justice chain needs to function from report to prosecution and judgment.”
• better investigations in crimes against women's peace»Polisen behöver utbildas och ges resurser för att göra bättre förundersökningar när det gäller sexualbrott, brott mot hbtqpersoner och kvinnofridsbrott.« (party programme ↗)“The police need to be trained and given resources to conduct better investigations regarding sexual crimes, crimes against LGBTQ people and crimes against women's peace.”
• knowledge about violence against women»För det behövs det fler poliser, ökad kunskap inom rättsväsendet om samtycke och om våld mot kvinnor och barn, och straff som gör att brotten prioriteras av rättsvårdande instanser.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“For that, more police officers are needed, increased knowledge within the justice system about consent and about violence against women and children, and punishments that make the crimes prioritised by law enforcement agencies.”
• women's experiences are taken seriously»Det är viktigt att rättssystemet fungerar, att kvinnors erfarenheter tas på allvar och att de som begår brott döms.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is important that the justice system works, that women's experiences are taken seriously and that those who commit crimes are convicted.”

The plan's action against men's violence against women and its line to continue strengthening work against assaults supports the position. A broad, independent review of how preliminary investigations are conducted in these matters aims to remedy shortcomings in the justice chain and thus lies in the plan's direction. The programme's feminist fundamental view points in the same direction.

• krafttag mot mäns vålddecisive»Krafttag för att stoppa hedersrelaterat våld, sexualbrott och mäns våld mot kvinnor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Forceful action to stop honour-related violence, sexual crimes and men's violence against women.”
• fortsatt skärpt linje i nära relationer»Vi vill fort sätta den politiska riktning som skärpt straffen för våld och andra kränkningar i nära relationer, och som ökat resurserna till kvinno- och tjejjourernas viktiga arbete.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to continue the political direction that has toughened sentences for violence and other assaults in close relationships, and that has increased resources to the important work of women's and girls' crisis centres.”
• feministisk grundsyn»Med denna grundsyn är socialdemokratin ett feministiskt parti.« (party programme ↗)“With this fundamental view, social democracy is a feminist party.”

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 establishes that society's institutions shall have capacity and tools against patriarchal violence and that the child's legal security must be strengthened upon allegations of violence or sexual abuse. The election manifesto promises stronger protection for victims of violence. A broad independent review of deficiencies in preliminary investigations into violence against women and children serves precisely these commitments.

• institutions against patriarchal violencedecisive»beredskap och verktyg för att motverka patriarkalt« (party programme ↗)“capacity and tools to counter patriarchal”
• stronger protection for violence victims»att våldsutsatta kvinnor som tvingas gömma sig ska få starkare skydd och att fler som utövar våld ska få fotboja.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“that women victims of violence who are forced into hiding shall receive stronger protection and that more violent perpetrators shall be subject to electronic monitoring.”
• strengthened legal security for children»ohälsa. Barnets rättstrygghet måste stärkas om det« (party programme ↗)“ill-health. The child's legal security must be strengthened if”

The plan's overriding commitment is that men who assault shall not escape and that the entire justice chain shall be strengthened. An independent review of how preliminary investigations are conducted in cases of violence against women and children aims precisely at remedying shortcomings in that chain, from report to judgment. The plan further requires a strengthened crime victim perspective, which the counter-proposal's purpose is in line with.

• male violence must be addresseddecisive»Män som slår ska inte komma undan. Vi vill höja straffen för sexualbrott, grov fridskränkning och grov kvinnofridskränkning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Men who assault shall not escape. We want to increase sentences for sexual offences, serious assault and serious assault against women.”
• strengthened justice chain»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 justice chain, invest in preventive measures and an equitable school.”
• strengthened crime victim perspective»Brottsofferperspektivet måste stärkas. Den som utsatts för brott ska få upprättelse och bättre stöd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The crime victim perspective must be strengthened. Those subjected to crime shall receive redress and better support.”

The election manifesto points out that only one in twenty reported rapes are solved and demands increased effort against violence against women with better protection and support for victims. The party programme wants more crimes to be solved and fewer reports to be dismissed, and counts children experiencing violence in the family as crime victims. An independent review of preliminary investigations serves that goal, even though the plan does not specifically mention a review.

• effort against men's violencedecisive»Vi vill se en ökad handlingskraft mot sexuellt våld och våld mot kvinnor genom bland annat högre straff för sexualbrott och ett bättre skydd och stöd för offren.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to see increased effort against sexual violence and violence against women through, among other things, higher penalties for sexual crimes and better protection and support for victims.”
• low clearance rate for rapes»Och bara var tjugonde av de runt 10 000 anmälda våldtäkterna per år klaras upp.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“And only one in twenty of the roughly 10,000 reported rapes per year are solved.”
• more effective criminal justice»handläggningstiderna kortas, fler brott anmäls och klaras upp samt färre brottsanmälningar« (party programme ↗)“processing times are shortened, more crimes are reported and solved, and fewer criminal reports”
• children as crime victims»barn som upplever våld inom familjen är brottsoffer.« (party programme ↗)“children experiencing violence within the family are crime victims.”

The party programme requires that matters concerning violence in intimate relationships be handled effectively with well-trained staff at police and prosecution and well-functioning cooperation between authorities, and that perpetrators be promptly prosecuted. An independent review of how preliminary investigations are conducted in such matters is a means to ensure precisely this. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's requirements.

• effective handling of intimate violencedecisive»Effektiv handläggning av ärenden som rör våld i nära relationer förutsätter välutbildade medarbetare hos polis« (party programme ↗)“Effective handling of matters concerning violence in intimate relationships presupposes well-trained staff at police”
• prompt prosecution»förövare av brott ska skyndsamt lagföras« (party programme ↗)“perpetrators of crime shall be promptly prosecuted”
• crime victim perspective»att samhället ställer sig på brottsoffrets sida« (party programme ↗)“that society stands on the crime victim's side”
• strengthened justice chain»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 justice system needs to be expanded. More police officers require more prosecutors, courts in more places in the country and significantly expanded criminal care.”

The plan has an articulated goal that more reported crimes of sexual crime and violence in intimate relations shall lead to prosecution, and therefore prescribes special investigation groups in each police region. This presupposes precisely that today's working method through the justice chain is failing and needs to be reviewed centrally. The counter-proposal's demand for a broad independent review of pre-trial investigations follows from the same commitment. The plan supports the demand.

• more prosecutions for violence against womendecisive»Införa särskilda grupper i varje polisregion som är specialiserade på sexualbrott och våld i nära relation för att fler anmälda brott ska leda till lagföring och straff« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce specialised groups in each police region that are specialised in sexual crimes and violence in intimate relations so that more reported crimes lead to prosecution and punishment”
• specialised investigation groups»Inrätta särskilda utredningsgrupper för sexualbrott och våld i nära relation samt en särskild klanbrottsenhet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Establish special investigation groups for sexual crimes and violence in intimate relations as well as a special gang crime unit”
• crime victim at centre»Moderaterna kommer kraftigt stärka brottsoffrets ställning i rättsprocessen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Moderate Party will greatly strengthen the crime victim's position in the legal process.”
• crime victim perspective in criminal policy»Brottsoffrens perspektiv är viktigt i kriminalpolitiken.« (party programme ↗)“The crime victim's perspective is important in criminal policy.”

The plan requires vigorous action by the justice system against domestic violence and sexual offences and a clear action plan for those subjected to intimate partner violence, as well as improved possibilities for restraining orders. The counter-proposal's demand for a broad review of how investigations are conducted in cases of violence against women and children aims at precisely the tightening the plan calls for. The plan does not mention the form of review, so the coverage is derived.

• vigorous action against violence against womendecisive»Kvinnor är särskilt utsatta för den växande otryggheten i den offentliga miljön, för våld i hemmet och för sexualbrott. Krafttag behöver tas i både det förebyggande arbetat och av rättsväsendet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Women are particularly exposed to the growing insecurity in the public environment, to domestic violence and sexual offences. Vigorous action needs to be taken in both preventive work and by the justice system.”
• action plan violence in intimate relations»Upprätta en handlingsplan för den som utsätts för våld i nära relation« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Establish an action plan for those subjected to intimate partner violence”
• strengthened restraining orders»Förbättra möjligheterna till kontaktförbud« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improve possibilities for restraining orders”
• zero tolerance in investigations»Införa nolltolerans mot brott så att även mindre allvarliga brott utreds och lagförs« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce zero tolerance for crime so that even less serious crimes are investigated and prosecuted”
