“So should the police better investigate serious violent crimes”
“More police officers, a national strategy against skjutvapenvåldet and tougher requirements on telecom operators.”
“There are some of the measures necessary for police to be better at investigating serious violent crimes, according to a report from the police.”
“Firings and other serious violent crime is a problem that is increasing, especially in vulnerable areas. Last year, the government gave the Police a mandate to review its ability to investigate the most serious violence.”
“– the Ability keeps reasonably good, but we need to be more. We have a good methodological support for investigation of serious violent crimes, but such an organization requires a certain staffing. With more resources we will be more effective in this, says Håkan Wall, the head of the police’s National operations department (Noa).”
“the Report shows that it requires significantly more resources in the form of the particular investigator. In addition, it is proposed, inter alia, that the police should develop a national strategy against skjutvapenvåldet to make investigations more effective and more uniform across the country.”
“An important part is to get better at investigating and prosecuting persons suspected of incitement to serious violent crimes, because they can play an important role in the investigation, according to Håkan Wall.”
“– The people who shoot are perhaps not the who is the brain behind the crime and ordering the crime. We should look more carefully at the people suspected of incitement to serious crime and it is something we would be able to watch in a national strategy.”
TT: it Is more difficult to investigate the most serious violence compared with other crimes?”
“– Not generally, but gängskjutningar and murder in criminal environments is particularly difficult because it is extremely rare in these environments want to talk with the police. We have more difficult to get hold of witnesses and it’s harder to get people to tell what they have seen and heard, it means that we will be referred to the very forensics and forensic evidence.”
“Register prepaid card”
“the Police would also be legal requirements on telecom operators should be tougher. For example, should prepaid cards be registered at the sale so that the police are better able to connect people to the kontantkorten.”
“in Addition, should vapenlagstiftningen be reviewed further and an investigation will be launched if it may be easier for the police to make searches and inspections of persons and vehicles in some areas, such as environments in which the police know about criminals.”
“According to Håkan Wall work the police already in several ways in order to become better at investigating serious violent crimes. These include various interventions in the vulnerable areas of police work, where to work better. The ability to keep questioning, to be sharpened in an ongoing project, and bets on the camera monitoring is made, something that it hopes will make the investigation far more efficient. But the police improvement is something that they will never be completely finished, according to Håkan Wall.”
“– this is a matter that is constantly evolving, we will never say to the government that we are ready with our development when it comes to the ability to investigate violent crime. The crime that we face in society, we must have the ability to investigate and then, it needs to constantly run a development, ” he says.”
“in 2018, the proportion of solved violent crimes 17.1 per cent. The proportion has increased slightly since last year, 2017, the low proportion of solved violent crimes at 16.8 percent.”
“2016 was utredningsandelen for violent crimes 17.3 per cent.”
“Utredningsandelen for all categories of offences combined was 28.5% in 2018, 27% for 2017 and 27.8 per cent for 2016.”
“With utredningsandel refers to the proportion of cases reported to the prosecutor of the processed cases. A processed case is completed the case where a preliminary investigation has been initiated or where a simplified utredningsförfarande has been used.”
