Summary, in English

In this chapter I analyse the recent criminalization of negligent rape in Sweden, introduced in 2018. My aim is to contribute to the discussion of criminalization as it relates to violence against women, while taking a broad view of criminalization that includes not only criminalization per se but also the application of law. My analysis of the application of the crime of negligent rape, from the perspective of legal presumptions, criminal and procedural principles, and implicit premises, clearly illustrates the complexity of legal certainty and legal protection when it comes to sexual violence. The practice of criminal law could be described to be a function of these three intertwined factors, and so the criminalization of sexual violence, and perhaps of other types of offences as well, should therefore be analysed and evaluated from the standpoint of all of these three factors, rather than just in relation to one of them.
