“Grotesque with the lifetime of the blåljussabotage”

“the social democrats and the Conservatives have placed themselves in a pathological straffskärpningsrus.”

“Unfortunately, there are no trends to tillnyktring.”

“When the government on Friday förelog that the new offence of blåljussabotage could lead to life in prison, I was at first surprised, but pulled the virriga the conclusion that it probably was just a new way to package the worst imaginable crime and then thought no more on the matter.”

“But a feature of any news and some wise lawyer, comments in the social media got me in the the weekend to understand that this is not the case.”

“Want to show decisiveness”

“most of the offences that will be covered by the new provision is certainly already criminalized. Reality, as is, in other words, to a large extent, cosmetics.”

“But there is a premium of the kind which the professors of law and criminology can sit and chuckle mockingly over in the cafeteria at any university. Justice minister Morgan Johansson have another mission, namely, to show decisiveness vis-à-vis the voters.”

“And the voters in the various polls in recent years indicated crime and punishment is one of the most important policy areas, perhaps even the most important. Law and order beats now often the classic heavyweights healthcare, education and jobs.”

“Thus, the spraying department of justice out nykriminaliseringar, straffskärpningar and other tougher measures that do not have the support of either research or reliable experience, but that is likely to appeal to citizens.”

“To the crime blåljussabotage introduced in the penal code, however, is basically good. The survey carried out by the government’s investigators shows that the attack on the police, fire brigade and ambulances been frequent in some areas of the country for the last ten years.”

“These activities constitute the basic social security in the society and it is excellent that the law makes clear the community view of the atatcker against them.”

“Less successful, to express the thing with the closest deceptive gentleness, is that the government will use the opportunity to bash with the law’s most severe punishment.”

“If some people stop, for example, the fire department even though they know that great leads to that people will die in the flames to life imprisonment could be imposed.”

“Now considered such a behavior already in the day as a serious crime. And intentional killing, even with the existing law lead to the law’s most severe punishment.”

“But now picked a punishment that should be reserved for the worst possible crime up to politicians to show muscles against rock-throwing kids . “

“It is an almost grotesque change in Swedish criminal law. It differs flaggrant from the nordic kriminalpolitisk tradition. There is a sharp escalation of government repressivitet.”

“the Bodies have of course protested. The court of appeal for western Sweden points out, with the usual legal caution. ”

“the Violence against blåljuspersonal happens in the most vulnerable suburbs. The new law will not come to grips with the major problems leading to crime of this nature. And skitungarna that behaving like this will not take the impression of the sounds of life.”

“at the same time, many voters expect that the law will have an impact. When this is not done, the state must take in even harder to show decisiveness.”

“So being born a destructive spiral.”

“What are you saying, then, conservatives? All parties agree with the criminal policy, but the development of criminal law takes place in the dynamics between the two statsbärande parties.”

“Johan Forsell, rättspolitisk the spokesperson for the M, have not given expression to the other objection than that he thinks that the penalties are too low.”

“This is terrible. The two political giants is in and of itself is not foreign to sinnessvaga populist outings, but has in the past for the most part, in spite of everything to show some accountability in the legislation.”

“this is no longer the case. Blåljussabotaget may be so far the clearest example of how degenerate criminal policy is, but there are other examples.”

“And there is no reason to believe other than that it will be even worse.”
