contact bans are usually issued to women who leave a relationship to provide preventive protection from violence and persecution. Between 2015 and 2022, 987 ordinary restraining orders were issued in the county.
During the same period, there were suspicions of 2116 breaches of restraining orders. In Linköping, 14 or specially extended contact bans were issued with or without electronic monitoring and only 1 time in Norrköping. The same trend, with only a very small number of stricter bans, can be seen across the country.
