On 1 July 2018, changes were made to the legislation concerning rape, meaning that the law is now based upon the absence of consent instead of the occurrence of violence, threats or a particularly vulnerable situation. The new law was welcomed by many people as constituting an important societal signal, but there were also concerns (particularly from lawyers) that it would be difficult to apply.
The Act (1998:408) prohibiting the purchase of sexual services came into effect on January 1st 1999, criminalising anyone who purchases or attempts to purchase a casual sexual relation. Persons committing such acts may be penalised by means of fines or a maximum of six months imprisonment. The aim of this study is to chart the way this new law has been implemented.
