Vad är syftet med påföljder som skyddstillsyn och samhällstjänst i Sverige?
What is the purpose of sanctions such as probation and community service in Sweden?
Correct answer: To let the convicted person carry on living in society
The aim is that the convicted person can carry on living in society and that the risk of reoffending is reduced. Swedish criminal policy emphasises rehabilitation; prison is used above all for serious crimes, and the death penalty and corporal punishment are prohibited.
