Today, 18-year-olds receive only half of the sentence. The complete punishment only receives the person who is 21 years old. However, according to new data from the survey, some reduction in sentence will remain, even if a political majority wants to lose the reduction.
This was an increase of the worst gang violence, with shootings and explosions that the government and Justice Minister Morgan Johansson told the commission to propose that the reduction for young people between the ages of 18 and 20 to be abolished.
– Being 18 years old, 19 years old can be a hardened criminal and do the right thing, said Justice Minister Morgan Johansson.
The reduction of sentence for young people today is, in practice, quite mechanical. The 15-year-old receives 20% of the punishment, then gradually increases to 50% at age 18, then to 100% and therefore to full punishment at the age of 21.
This is the system that the government wants to abolish.
However, there is another paragraph that may lead young people to receive shorter sentences and that the government does not intend to abduct.
– There is a provision today for lack of development or lack of discernment. It is not used today for young people because there is a general reduction, says government investigator Petra Lundh.
– But it is likely to be claimed by defenders and defendants to a greater extent. " So a form of punishment for some young people will still remain?
– Yes In this case, we will examine whether the case was linked to a lack of judgment and development, "said Petra Lundh
Fredrik Wersäll, former president of Svea Hovrätt, Fredrik Wersäll, investigated on the punishment of Fredrik Reinfeldt think that now that the more automatic penalty discount seems to be moving away, the legislation should emphasize more clearly this possibility of making individual assessments of young people.
– Repetition of this mechanical punishment for 18-21 years old it must be emphasized that when assessing the length of the sentence, particular attention should be paid to the maturity of this person, says Fredrik Wersall. [19659003] – This would allow them to be captured even when they are 18 years old. the years have a lack of ability to fully assess the consequences of what they do, "says Fredrik Wersäll.
In December, the government investigation ng submit a proposal for the elimination of the automatic penalty for 18 to 20 years.
