CJUS 701- Sweden Criminal Justice System
Sweden is a country located in northern Europe, and it has one of the world's most
egalitarian societies. The country is well known for its environmental sensitivity and dedication
to long-term solutions. Throughout the years, Sweden's cultural heritage has been celebrated for
the achievements of a diverse range of artists. Sweden's economy has been steady for the last
three decades. However, inflation is currently low (Niskanen et al., 2020). One of the
transnational issues that may impact law enforcement is illicit drugs. The United States and
Sweden have a strong relationship that has lasted for many years.
Sweden's government structure consists of the parliament, which relies on the executive
and legislative branches to enforce the criminal justice system laws. The other branch in
Sweden's government is the judiciary. The judiciary interprets the law and ensures individuals
understand their rights. Also, the judiciary protects the integrity of the complete criminal justice
system. The civil law in the country ensures the court system provides fair trials. On the other
hand, for law enforcement as a part of the Ministry of Justice, Sweden has a national police
service that submits reports to the Department of Police Issues, which includes Public Safety.
The judicial process involves the general courts, courts of appeal, and supreme courts.
During the judicial process, the investigation is conducted. The criminal justice system of
Sweden is effective and respects human rights. Human rights abuses were not reported in
Sweden in 2019, according to the latest reports (Bureau of Democracy, 2020). The book of
Mathew 7:12 Guides us, "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you,
for this sums up the law and the prophets" (Hendrickson Publishers, 2004).
