New measures to strike against the car fires – Aftonbladet

Crime. For the ninth consecutive night burned cars in Malmo, but also on other towns hit bilbrännare to.

Now the government wants to have more supervision and more police, the penalty will be harder and make it easier to trap offenders.

– What is absolutely clear is that we need to get a quicker prosecution in some cases, says Justice and Migration Morgan Johansson (S).

the government sets a quick investigation to review the conditions for faster trap those who are burning cars. One of the questions of the investigation will be if you can set up special emergency courts that can deal with the issues and if we can introduce new opportunities to manage processes remotely.

The government would also strengthen penalties of vandalism to resemble the penalties for theft.

– for the individual, it is equally bad to get his car uppeldad like getting their car stolen. The question is whether it is worse to get the uppeldad, says Morgan Johansson.

“Faster and clearer”

the government would also make it easier to put up surveillance cameras in some areas .

– We think it may have a preventive effect. But above all it will be easier to investigate crimes, says Morgan Johansson.

In addition, the government wants to tighten the measures against young offenders, including monitoring ankle bracelet, and promises more officers in vulnerable areas.

HH: What do you see as the most important measures?

– that we get faster and clearer penalties for perpetrators but also increase the risk of detection, responding Interior Minister Anders Ygeman (S).

the night of Wednesday the two-alarm fires in a total of 13 cars in Malmo, and since the beginning of July, over 70 cars set on fire there. A car was also on fire on Nordmannavägen in Lund during the night. Later that night burned in Klockartorpet in Norrköping where some 20 cars were more or less completely destroyed. In Linköping fire damaged three cars.

Ash welcome

the last Minister of Justice Beatrice Ask (M) welcomes the initiative of the government now takes for all the summer car fires. She agrees that it may require more stringent punishment for vandalism and attacks on public safety personnel.

tagging penalty for convicted young people is also something that she can imagine.

– There’s inquiry proposal is remitted, so this is just for the government to submit a bill to the Riksdag may handle it pretty quickly, says Ash.

She also welcomes an investigation to see if it is possible to speed up the prosecution of certain crimes with the help of emergency courts.

– But there must to the front of the directives and it was said nothing about.

Loof critical

liberals right political spokesperson Roger Haddad does not think the government is taking the situation seriously enough.

Center leader Annie Lööf is moderately impressed by the Government’s proposal:

– There is a total lack of leadership and concrete and energetic measures, she says.

More police in vulnerable areas and stricter punishment is urgently needed, according to Loof.

– the Government presents today the broad revisions. We need concrete action.

FACTS

The government’s proposals

Increasing penalties for vandalism: fines are removed from the scale of penalties for vandalism of the normal rate – which instead should be able to give two years’ prison. The minimum penalty for aggravated criminal damage increased to six months in prison but should be able to produce up to six years in prison. In the majority think the government that a bill may be put to parliament in the autumn.

Work for tougher sentences for attacks against public safety personnel “and other important actors in society”. A review shall analyze whether attacks on professional groups that protect life, health and safety should be viewed as particularly serious.

Emergency Courts and Fast Track in the lawsuit for certain crimes should be considered.

Clearer youth sanctions: possibility to impose a touch obligation to contact or supervision with electronic tagging for young people who commit serious crimes or reoffending.

Focus more police officers to the socially deprived areas.

Work to make it easier to get permission of the county administrative boards for video surveillance in “specific crime-prone areas and in locations with elevated threat.”
