Although gang crime has escalated with almost daily shootings or explosions, nothing has been done to remove the "sentence discount". "Sentence discount", which is the practice in Sweden, means that you are only sentenced for the crime with the highest penalty.
Sweden's tax system is progressive, which means that you pay more in income tax the more your income rises. Which in practice means that if a criminal commits a crime, he or she is rewarded with a "discount" on the sentence, while a hard-working honest person is punished with a higher tax rate the more he or she works.
