The election pledge was presented at a press conference with party leader Ulf Kristersson at a law office on Södermalm in Stockholm.
According to the Moderates, men's violence against women must be combated with the same force as gang crime. Therefore, the possibility of doubling the punishment for certain crimes in close relationships, especially gross violation of women's privacy, should be investigated.
The Moderates also want to investigate whether it should be easier to convict someone of gross violation of a woman's privacy. Current legislation requires that the man repeatedly - at least three times - commit assault against a woman he has or has had a close relationship with. The Moderates also want to review whether the crime can apply in cases where there are multiple victims.
