Due to the resistance of implementing the entire penalty scale and the use of judicial methods, such as restraining orders and its effect on the women, the conclusion drawn from the answers is yes - Sweden is that sanctuary. The Swedish justice system is not tough enough when it comes to the abuse of women. Most importantly, it is not fair. Battered women can be forced to pay the price of freedom to be out of harms way. The sphere of freedom that is given the women in this situation is consequently limited while that same sphere is rather unrestricted for the men who put them there. (Less)
