- Abstract (Swedish)
- Den 1 juli 2021 trädde barnfridsbrottet i kraft och placerades i 4 kap. 3 § brottsbalken (1962:700). Den infördes för att stärka barns straffrättsliga rättigheter. I paragrafen ställs en uttömmande lista upp på grundbrott som måste blivit styrkta för att barnfridsbrottet ska bli aktuellt. Vidare krävs att gärningsmannen och offret, för grundbrottet, är närstående till barnet. Avslutningsvis i paragrafen finns en särskild straffskala med grovt brott i.
I denna uppsats gör jag en ingående analys i syfte att utreda hur rättsläget ser ut i den nya lagen. Genom att analysera förarbetena och med hjälp av en rättsfallsstudie belyser jag tillämpningen av lagen i underinstanserna. I uppsatsen tar jag i beaktan viktiga tolkningsfrågor som kan...

I denna uppsats gör jag en ingående analys i syfte att utreda hur rättsläget ser ut i den nya lagen. Genom att analysera förarbetena och med hjälp av en rättsfallsstudie belyser jag tillämpningen av lagen i underinstanserna. I uppsatsen tar jag i beaktan viktiga tolkningsfrågor som kan uppkomma i rättskipande, och konsekvenserna detta kan få. Jag tar i uppsatsen även hänsyn till hur det kan drabba målsägande, gärningsmän och offer när de inte med enkelhet ser ett konsekvent dömande från domstolarna vilket potentiellt utgör en brist i förutsägbarhetsprincipen.
Slutligen genomförs en sammanvägd granskning där jag tar ställning för (i) de lege ferenda, (ii) förutsebarhet i rättskipande genom rättsfallen i studien och (iii) en utvärdering av barnfridsbrottet. (Less) - Abstract
- The new bill “violation of a child’s integrity” went into force on the 1st of July, 2021 to ensure that more rights for children in criminal law were implemented. The bill was placed in chapter 4 section 3 in the Swedish Criminal Code (1962:700).
In the section there is a line up of an exhaustive list of foundation crimes. In order for the violation of a child’s integrity to be able to come into effect, at least one of these crimes must have been proven. Furthermore, the victim of the foundation crime and the perpetrator must be, or have had been, a family member to the child. The section also includes a range of punishment of gross violations of a child’s integrity.

In this bachelor’s thesis I complete a comprehensive analysis for the purpose of looking at the legal position in the newly passed bill. With the assistance of legislative history and through my case studies I shine a light on the work in lower courts such as interpretation of the law and the adjudication process.
I also highlight how the victim and perpetrator simply have difficulties anticipating the judicial results of the process when it is not consistent. This can potentially become a shortfall in the lack of foreseeability, which may be problematic.
I conclude with an evaluation in which I take a stand on (i) de lege ferenda,(ii) foreseeability in administration of justice through the results of my case studies and (iii) an assessment of the crime. (Less)
