Hedersrelaterade våldsbrott- är detta ett problem i Sverige?

Sammanfattning: Honor-related violence is something that also occurs in Sweden. However we have no legislation in Sweden that regulate these offenses. Committing a violent crime where the subject was honor-related, convicted offenders in accordance with the other violent crimes governed by Chapters 3 and 4 Penal Code. The purpose of this work is to investigate the lack of statutory regulation concerning the honor crimes that violence can represent. The main leading issue in the study is whether there is a problem about the foreseeable, or whether this compromised for those offenders who are sentenced in the honor-related violence crimes. In Sweden, we lack an accepted definition around the concept of "honor violence" which has contributed to the diverging views on the issue. There are politicians who equate the honor-related violence and crimes of violence against women. What they mean is that one should be careful when discussing such a topic. Discussing crimes that occur from different ethnic backgrounds, can mean becoming racist when discriminating against certain groups in society. The honor-related crimes are different in comparison with men's violence against women. From the cases investigated, the offenders expressed that they did not see any other solution to the problems, when commiting honor related crimes. These offenders often come from a society where you see mitigating circumstances in order to restore honor. Sweden has acted with some activities but these are not sufficient when the problems remain. The criteria for laws may be different and has led to public debates. It requires a lot of criteria meetings for something to be criminalized. The honor-related violent crime meets almost all criteria. To counteract the undesirable behavior and increase predictability for the offenders, some form of criminalization.
