However, the increasing use of imprisonment, from 13 percent of all sentences in 1975 to 20 percent in the early 1990's, was a trend well in place before the right-center political bloc came to power. Nevertheless, the overall prison population has remained fairly stable through the 1980's. In 1993, fines (police, prosecutorial, and court) accounted for 85 percent of all criminal dispositions, followed by prison (4 percent), waivers of prosecution (4 percent), conditional sentences (3 percent), probation (2 percent), and other sanctions (1 percent). Alternatives to prison include community service, contract drug treatment with probation, and intensive probation supervision. Most prison sentences are for rape, murder, manslaughter, aggravated robbery, and aggravated drug and smuggling offenses. Currently, Sweden is experiencing fundamental change. A shift is occurring from the values of solidarity and inclusion in the Swedish model of imprisonment to the punitive and exclusionary philosophy characterizing the debate today.
