Children and young people must be warned about gangs in the same way as we have always warned about nasty men, says Teresa Carvalho, who leads the Social Democrats' criminal policy working group.
The Social Democrats want the police to go out to the country's classrooms to tell about gangs and how they recruit, to increase the children's resistance. It should happen as soon as the schools start, says Carvalho.
Whether all schools should receive visits is something she leaves to the police to decide.
The important thing is that the police actually come out to the schools. Then they naturally have to make a priority of where it is most urgent.
In addition, the Social Democrats want the information leaflet Gang Talk to be sent out to all households with children of school age.
Just as Swedish households have benefited from the brochure When Crisis or War Comes, one can also benefit from this in the gang crisis, says Carvalho.
She says it has been a "terrible" summer with shootings, explosions, and more children and young people being recruited into gangs.
Should previous Social Democratic governments have taken a firmer grip much earlier?
Absolutely, we should have taken a firmer grip earlier and we should also have done much more earlier to break the new recruitment.
