In 2023, Sweden's Social Democratic party passed a new law that made it illegal to arrest, detain, or prosecute a child under 15 for any crime. It also erased all criminal punishments for children.
This applies to every single imaginable crime.
As you can imagine, things have not been going well.
John Rosell, a prosecutor in Gothenburg, said,
We see an enormous increase in young people committing serious crimes. There is a need for increased opportunities to deprive young people of their liberty. It is completely decisive for being able to combat serious crime, says Rosell.
Justice Minister Gunnar Strömmer is working on getting the legislature to revise or repeal the law,
For example, giving the police the opportunity to use coercive measures against young people is a very critical issue both for prevention and for being able to clear up this type of crime, says Strömmer.
Swedish gangs immediately took advantage of the new law.
