The Swedish police workthe work of the police is only one of the phases in the administration of justice. When someone has fallen victim to a crime and reported this to the police, a whole chain of events is set in motion. If the crime in question is a serious one, the entire legal system will eventually become involved, i.e. the police service, the public prosecution service, one or more courts of law and the prison and probation service. The crime level in Sweden is pretty low compared to for example Finland.In Sweden the most familiar crimes is car theft, personal abuse, shoplifting and robbery. In Finland the crime level is way above the Swedish, but it’s the same familiar crimes.
When you’re at the age of sixteen years old and you are living in Finland you have the right to carry a weapon but in Sweden there is nearly impossible to wear a gun. That’s one of the reasons that the crime level is so high in Finland.
In the big cities in Sweden there is a few neighbourhoods that is dangerous at nighttime.We also have some known gangs in Sweden like Hells Angels and Wolf packs. They run the most of the underground crimes in the big cities, so you don’t want to fuck with them because then you can get yourself in some serious trouble. The chances are not so big that you end up with those gangs.
In Sweden the penalties are not so hard, if you get a life long penalty you will not be in jail your whole life. You will only end up there eight to ten years, which is not much if you have killed some one compared to other countries. We don’t have death penalty either. In general the Swedish prison are in good shape, where you get nice food and even TV in your own cell, its luxury. Sometimes homeless people become crimes just so they get in the luxury of jail.

"Sometimes homeless people become crimes just so they get in the luxury of jail." i wish our punishment system would be in such a good shape. our penalties are very heavy and hard and if the court decides that you'll get the long life penalty you die in jail.(dhmhtra+vasiliki)
