I used the phrase bank robber but what I meant was värdedepårån. Semantics, the point is that financial crime is often treated worse than violent crime.

Our whole society is cashless and one of the official reasons are to prevent robberies. But we haven't changed sentences for pedophiles.

Pick a case. I just googled "dömd pedofil" and found several cases of them being convicted to 2-4 years prison for molestation and rape.

And they get psychological care very often.

There's one in Falkenberg that raped 3 girls for several years and he received a sentence of 9 years, which is 1 year longer than a famous unarmed cash robbery performed in Sweden.

Even when they get relatively harsh sentences it doesn't seem enough to me.

...Should they not? I mean, granted those sentences seem awfully lenient, but unless their sentence is life or death, they're going to get out eventually, and we want them to be less rapey when they do, right?

I'm just saying that psychological care is a summer camp compared to some other prisons.

Problem is that when pedos end up in normal prison they need 24/7 guards because the other inmates will hurt them. So in psych care they end up with others of their own kind and more lenient environments.

You say it like it's a bad thing.
