- Abstract
- The purpose of this thesis has been to examine the Swedish classification of aggravated rape when the act is committed under threat with weapons from a legal security perspective. In addition, the purpose of this thesis has also been to investigate the circumstances that should be considered for a threat to be particularly serious.
Analysis of case law has been crucial for understanding how the criminal classification should be applied. Furthermore, the analysis has been essential for understanding the circumstances that should be considered for a threat to be particularly serious.

Analysis of case law has been crucial for understanding how the criminal classification should be applied. Furthermore, the analysis has been essential for understanding the circumstances that should be considered for a threat to be particularly serious.
The thesis has presented the following conclusions. Firstly, I illustrate several circumstances which should be considered in assessing whether a threat should be particularly serious, such as the nature of the weapon and whether the weapon was aimed or held against the victims body.
Secondly, I have concluded that the overall assessment is decisive regarding how the criminal classification should be applied. Furthermore, I have decided that in cases where a threat is particularly serious due to threats with weapons aimed or held against the victims body, then the act should be classified as aggravated rape.
Thirdly, the thesis has concluded that case law is not uniform in application of law, mainly demonstrated in the decisions of the Svea Court of Appeal (B 7598-21) and the Court of Appeal for Western Sweden (B 4810-21). Furthermore, it has been stated that the case law thereby been unpredictable and inconsistent.
Finally, I have decided that the Supreme Court will probably consider the threat particularly serious and classify the act as aggravated rape in case B 6401-21. (Less) - Abstract (Swedish)
- Syftet med framställningen har varit att ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv utreda svensk gradindelning vid grov våldtäkt när gärningen har förövats under vapenhot. Uppsatsen har även haft som syfte att utreda vilka omständigheter som bör beaktas för att ett hot ska anses vara av särskilt allvarlig art.
Analys av rättspraxis har varit avgörande för att förstå hur gradindelningen bör genomföras i det enskilda fallet. Vidare har rättsfallsanalysen varit avgörande för förståelsen av vilka omständigheter som bör beaktas för att ett hot ska anses vara av särskilt allvarlig art.

Analys av rättspraxis har varit avgörande för att förstå hur gradindelningen bör genomföras i det enskilda fallet. Vidare har rättsfallsanalysen varit avgörande för förståelsen av vilka omständigheter som bör beaktas för att ett hot ska anses vara av särskilt allvarlig art.
Undersökningen har kunnat presentera följande slutsatser. För det första har jag kommit fram till ett antal omständigheter som i dagsläget bör beaktas vid bedömningen om huruvida ett hot faller under kvalifikationsgrunden. Exempel på omständigheter som bör beaktas är vapnets art samt huruvida vapnet riktats eller hållits mot offrets kropp.
För det andra har jag beträffande gradindelningen kommit fram till att den samlade bedömningen är avgörande. Här har jag dragit slutsatsen att gärningen bör rubriceras som grov när ett hot anses vara av särskilt allvarlig art på grund av hot med vapen som riktats eller hållits mot målsägandens kropp.
För det tredje har konkluderat att praxis inte är enhetlig i rättstillämpningen vilket främst kunnat påvisat i avgörandena från Svea hovrätt (B 7598-21) samt Hovrätten för Västra Sverige (B 4810-21). Vidare har det konstaterats att praxis därigenom varit oförutsebar och inkonsekvent.
Slutligen har jag med utgångspunkt i prognosteorin dragit slutsatsen att HD sannolikt kommer att anse att hotet är av särskilt allvarligt art samt rubricera gärningen som grov våldtäkt i målet B 6401-21. (Less)
