Contact ban legislation

The plan demands that work against men's violence against women be prioritised in a way that corresponds to the extent and seriousness of the crimes, and that the justice system functions so that women's experiences are taken seriously. Sentences should be designed carefully to actually result in lower crime. Investigating geographical residence restrictions for perpetrators in cases of particularly serious threat is such targeted protection for women and children subjected to violence.

The plan demands forceful combat of men's violence against women and violence in close relationships, a right to a safe neighborhood and that the police have the tools required. A residence prohibition that binds the perpetrator geographically to a particular severe threat situation is such a protective tool for the victim. The plan therefore speaks for the possibility being investigated further.

The plan establishes that society should clearly act against perpetrators of violence and not restrict victims' freedom, and the election manifesto requires stronger protection for violence victims forced to hide and more electronic monitoring bracelets for perpetrators. To investigate geographic areas that the perpetrator cannot leave or be present in is exactly such a measure directed at the perpetrator. The counter-proposal's demand is thus within the plan's commitments.

The election manifesto wants electronic monitoring to be used in more cases of restraining orders and establishes that men who use violence shall not escape. Investigating geographic areas where the perpetrator is not allowed to stay in cases of particularly serious threats is an extension of the same protective thinking and the promise to combat post-violence. Women's safety is an explicit priority.

The party programme explicitly states that measures against violence in intimate relationships shall focus on perpetrators and that these shall be able to be imposed extensive restrictions on geographic freedom of movement. The counter-proposal's demand to investigate areas that a perpetrator is not allowed to leave or stay in is precisely that action. The election manifesto also wants to test residence restrictions and give victims of violence better protection.

The plan demands that legislation marks that violence against women is a serious crime and that violence-exposed women, men and children are given adequate support and protection, with society on the crime victim's side. Investigating geographical residence zones for perpetrators in case of extra great threat is a measure that gives precisely that real protection. According to the plan, the penalty system shall also protect against abuse.

The election manifesto explicitly commits to introducing a residence ban for those convicted of intimate partner violence, so that the perpetrator can be banned from residing in a certain residential area, as well as contact bans and electronic monitoring immediately after risk assessment and a new opportunity for long-term monitoring with electronic monitoring. The counter-proposal's requirement to investigate geographically limited bans in cases of particularly high threat lies directly in line with these commitments.

• geographic residence bandecisive»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 a residence ban for persons convicted of intimate partner violence, so that the person who has subjected their former partner to violence and abuse can be banned from being in a certain residential area even after being released from prison”

The election manifesto explicitly wants to enable restrictions on freedom of movement and that perpetrators can be subject to prohibitions against staying in the place where the crime was committed or near the victim. The counter-proposal's demand to investigate geographical residence zone restrictions in case of extra-high threat is precisely that measure. The plan also generally wants to improve possibilities for contact bans and put the victim's security first.

• residence prohibitions for perpetratorsdecisive»Gärningsmän som begått grova brott bör i högre grad bevakas efter avtjänat brott och beläggas med förbud att återvända till den ort där brottet begått eller i närhet till brottsoffret« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Perpetrators who have committed serious crimes should to a higher degree be monitored after serving their sentence and be subject to prohibitions against returning to the place where the crime was committed or in proximity to the victim”
