Today, the Liberals presented a program to stop gang crime. One proposal that the Liberals now also support is that it should be possible to use early interrogations against a defendant as evidence in the trial – something that is not allowed today.
– The government is late in this matter, as in many matters connected with the judiciary. I do not think it is the Social Democrats as the problem in this case, but it is the Green Party and that means that not much comes out of the Government Offices, says party leader Nyamko Sabuni.
As it works today For example, during the detention period, a person may choose to remain completely silent during all interrogations and wait for the police preliminary investigation to be completed. Then he can adapt what he wants to admit to what the police already know. The Sweden Democrats, the Moderates and the Christian Democrats are also pushing for such a change.
There are a total of 34 items on the Liberals’ list of measures against gang crime. It is about everything from preventive measures to sentences. Social authorities should have greater opportunities to care for children who grow up in a serious criminal environment. That is what the Liberals’ legal policy spokesman, Johan Pehrson, says.
– In a criminal environment, no children should grow up. It is a major threat to the young person’s mental and physical health.
– Because dad has been allowed to sit in jail, it is not an automatic care, it is not conceivable.
Caring for children in criminal circles, the Liberals are not the first to propose. The Moderates have already done so.
So what is it then that distinguishes the Liberals from the other parties in this area where everyone now wants to stand out?
– It is our inexhaustible belief that there is a need for both a law enforcement officer who intervenes early against young criminals and an iron glove who is completely uncompromising against serious crime.
