   @micke No need for a new not-a-cop agency I think, but definitely need for social reforms and redistributions. Reduce criminogenic condition - > get less crime.

     I think we need some major rework of the system, where crime preventions amounts to keep people out of poverty, make the education system actually work and maybe reforming the policeforce as a new agency solely focused on solving crimes.

     Swedish criminologists have pointed out for years that making punishments harsher does not fix crime either, so the two policies we have in Sweden regarding crime: adding more police officers and making punishments harsher are both failing.

     Sweden added 2500 new police officers last year, yet the amount of crimes that were prevented went down, and the amount of solved crimes remained the same. I think this is pretty good proof that the Swedish police it is not good at doing those things. And indeed the percent of solved crimes in Sweden is about 13% of all reported crimes.
