If the victim of hate crime receive better support in the legal process would prosecutors be able to bring more prosecutions. All according to a recent assessment made by the Prosecution Development Centre in Malmö, reports the Echo on Swedish Radio.
300 police reports made in 2013 of suspected hate crimes have been investigated. Charges were brought in 33 cases, but it could have been more if the victims had received the support of the plaintiff and the police recovered more data, shows the review.
According to Lena Körner who made the evaluation can be victims of hate crimes have been as difficult to tell us that victims of sexual violence.
She believes that it is required that victims must be met in a way that trust can be created. In this way, they dare to talk about what they have suffered, according to Körner.
