In Stockholm a young woman who was raped by a young man at a party that went over the top later tried to kill the abuser. Not very typical Swedish but kind of interesting. I would guess many sympathies lies with the young woman. Which crime is worst, a rape or a murder attempt? Both are horrible but the woman at least had a reason for her outrage, the man was just trying to get off and enjoy himself by seriously hurting and humiliating an other human. That makes it in many ways a more serious crime.
It will be interesting to see the verdict in this case. Sweden is known for a very liberal almost kind policy towards criminals. They are not considered evil but people who had a bad start in life and now needs not punishment but treatment and a new chance in life. Sounds good, at least on paper. Maybe the victims of violence and crime do not share this enthusiam for psycological
treatment rather than punishment.
