A couple of basic graphs on crime in Sweden to give some background:
Types of Crime in Sweden, Reported Crimes per 100,000 population
Total
Burglary
Assault
Sexual offences (including rape)
Robbery
Murder, homicide
Total Gun Homicides in Sweden
As the first graph shows, total crime in Sweden has been relatively flat. The number of murders is only a tiny fraction of the total crime. Yes there has been an uptick in the total number of gun-homicides in the last few years. It's still only a tiny fraction of crime though. From what I can see on the internet, there's quite a lot of studies being done in Sweden looking at why gun homicides are rising.Last edited by Starlight; 04-19-2018, 08:43 PM."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
