This must be fake news, because Zuckerberg and CNN did not talk about it.

 

[seapilot]

They need more grenade control. Too much grenade violence!

 

[presence]

It is illegal for a civilian in Sweden to carry a firearm, unless for a specific, legal purpose;such as hunting or attending shooting ranges.

 

[eleganz]

On top of this Trump was likely not even talking about grenade attacks, I'm sure he was talking about the person to person assaults and rapes. But the Swedish PM pretends like his country is perfect while covering up the crimes.

Sweden is totally fkd

Why do refugees prefer Sweden

Sweden offers strong social benefits for refugees

http://www.thelocal.se/20160104/why-do-refugees-prefer-sweden-to-denmark

Single adults are given a daily benefit of 71 Swedish kronor per day (2,159 kronor or $256 per month), with more available for those with families.

[plus]

'introduction benefit' from Arbetsförmedlingen, Sweden's Employment Agency, giving them an income of 6,468 Swedish kronor per month ($769)

http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/fe...n-benefit-refugee-crisis-160321093701802.html

Sweden has more unaccompanied minors than any other EU country.

Klara, the manager of an authorised Hoppetgruppen asylum accommodation who declined to give her last name, feels that much of the criticism is unwarranted.

The home she manages houses teenage boys between 14 and 18 years old, with new rooms contracted in case any new arrivals appear.
Hoppetgruppen has previously worked in housing for Swedish teenagers needing daily support for a wide range of issues, such as psychological difficulties and drug abuse. "We provide the boys with housing and basic medical care, take them to school, provide activities and care for them," she said.
"Our facility is very good, and there are few problems. The staff are happy, I made sure to hire genuine people. Some of them are refugees themselves. It has been a winning concept."


Aleris, a company owned by Sweden's Wallenberg family, has reportedly charged as much as Skr 84,000


($9,434) a month


to place a refugee child with a family.

Sweden Crime Survey

The Swedish Crime Survey (NTU) is an annual survey regarding exposure to crime, fear of crime and confidence in the justice system.

Of those who responded to the questions in the 2015 NTU, 11.3 per cent state that during 2014 they were victims of the types of offences which are categorised in the report as offences against individual persons: assault, threats, sexual offences, mugging, fraud, or harassment. This is lower than the previous years (in 2013, the percentage was 12.7%) and a return to roughly the same level measured in the first survey in 2005.

The most common types of offences are threats and harassment, while exposure to sexual offences, aggravated assaults, and mugging are least common.

Green is threats
Red is sexual offenses
Purple is assaults
Dark blue is muggings
Pea green is fraud

Sweden Crime Survey

In what world does responses to a survey questionnaire count as accurate and verifiable crime statistics? Especially from a government that has been proven to want to cover up crime. The government knows who and where the crime is happening, therefore it can target a questionnaire survey to under represent victims.

In what world does responses to a survey questionnaire count as accurate and verifiable crime statistics? Especially from a government that has been proven to want to cover up crime. The government knows who and where the crime is happening, therefore it can target a questionnaire survey to under represent victims.

They conduct the survey every year. It is good because it does not merely rely on police reports of crimes (which will miss unreported crime and thus likely show a higher level than going by such reports). It is anonymous and random asks thousands of residents if they personally were a victim of crime and what type. It is actually a more reliable source.

It also asks them about a lot of related topics including asking if they were worried about crime. That has gone down too. They feel safer overall.

https://www.bra.se/bra/bra-in-english/home/crime-and-statistics/swedish-crime-survey.html

Anxiety and insecurity

Measuring insecurity and anxiety about crime is complicated. The NTU captures some central aspects. The results vary depending on the type of anxiety or insecurity which is the subject of enquiry; for example, more people are worried about the exposure of closely-related persons to crime than their own exposure.

Insecurity outdoors late at night

The percentage of people who do not feel safe when they are outdoors alone late at night in their own neighbourhood has decreased from 21 per cent in 2006 to 15 per cent in 2015.

It is significantly more common for women to feel insecure than for men. The percentage of persons who feel insecure is particularly high among the youngest and oldest women in the survey.

Anxiety about crime in society

The percentage of persons anxious about crime in society has decreased from 29 per cent in 2006 to 22 per cent in 2015.

It is more common for women to be anxious about crime in society than for men. The percentage of persons who are anxious is lowest among the youngest age brackets and highest among the oldest age brackets.

Anxiety that a closely-related person will be the victim of crime
The percentage of persons who are fairly often or very often anxious that a closely-related person will be the victim of crime has declined from 32 per cent in 2006 to 25 per cent in 2015.

It is more common for women to worry that a closely-related person will be the victim of crime than for men. For both men and women, the percentage of those who are somewhat or very often anxious that a closely-related person with the victim of crime is greatest in the 45–54 age bracket.

Anxiety about being exposed to crime
In 2015, 19 per cent state that they are worried about burglary. With the exception of the surveys for this year and 2011, the percentage has been very stable.

It is slightly more common for women to worry about burglary than for men. The percentage of persons worried about burglary is greatest in the 45–55 age bracket.

The percentage of persons worried about being a victim of an assault has decreased from 15 per cent in 2006, to 11 per cent in 2015.

It is significantly more common for women to be worried about being the victim of an attack or assault than for men. However, the percentage of women who are worried varies a great deal depending on the age bracket. The highest percentage is among women in the 20–24 age bracket.

The percentage of persons worried about being the victim of theft of, or vandalism to, their vehicle has declined from 22 per cent in 2006 to 13 per cent in 2015.

The percentage of persons worried about theft of, or damage to, their vehicle is essentially the same for women and men and across age brackets, with the exception of the youngest age bracket (16–19 years of age), where the percentage is significantly lower.

Why are they not begging for more police?

It is actually a more reliable source.

Summarizing everything as a percentage of population is statistical misdirection. Here are the raw numbers from the Swedish Crime Survey.

Summarizing as a percentage of the population is an excellent way to allow comparisons between countries of different sizes. It also allows for comparisons between growing populations within a country over time. https://www.bra.se/bra/bra-in-english/home/crime-and-statistics/rape-and-sex-offences.html

Here is the latest data on sexual crimes from the Swedish government crime survey (not sure where you get your figures- I can't open the document):

Rape and sexual offences

During 2015, 18,100 sex offences were reported, of which 5,920 were classified as rape. In the Swedish Crime Survey, 1.0 per cent of the respondents stated that they were exposed to sex offences during 2014.

A long ways from your claimed nearly half a million.

Reported offences

In 2015, a total of 18,100 sex offences were reported; this is an 11 per cent decrease as compared with 2014. The number of rapes reported to police decreased by 12 per cent to 5,920 between 2014 and 2015. Reported offences regarding sexual molestation and sexual coercion, exploitation etc. also decreased to 8,840 (-8 %) and 1,430 (-6 %) respectively. The decrease seen in these types of offences was in turn preceeded by a rise in 2014. This can in part be explained by a number of cases that included a great many connected offences relating to rape, sexual molestation, sexual cohersion and exploitation.

its an excel file from BRA.se of the Swedish Crime Survey.... and now you're switching your stance to only reported offenses when you said the questionnaire survey was better... best of luck Zippy

https://www.bra.se/bra/bra-in-english/home/crime-and-statistics/rape-and-sex-offences.html

In the Swedish Crime Survey (NTU – Nationella trygghetsundersökningen), 1.0 per cent of the population (16 – 79 years of age), corresponding to approximately 76,000 persons, state that they had been exposed to sex offences. This is a decline as compared with 2013, when 1.3 per cent stated that they had been exposed. The level of sex offences remained relatively stable during the period 2005 – 2011, but the result for the past two years shows an increased level. However, the decline shown in the most recent measurement renders it difficult to analyse the trend.

 

[spudea]

approximately 76,000 persons, state that they had been exposed to sex offences

yeah thats the 2014 number. the 2015 number is 129,000 69.74% increase YoY

 

[Zippyjuan]

yeah thats the 2014 number. the 2015 number is 129,000 69.74% increase YoY

Thanks for the updated figure- I was able to find a PDF version https://www.bra.se/download/18.4a33c027159a89523b17c401/1487173975453/Summary_NTU_2016.pdf . It has been quite steady for the last decade despite an increase in immigrants. Total crime is about the same as 2005.

Of those who answered the questions in the 2016 SCS, 13.3 per cent
state that during the course of 2015, they were exposed to one or more
of the types of offences referred to in the report as offences against the
person: assault, threats, sexual offences, robbery, fraud or harassment.
This is an increase as compared with the preceding year (in 2014 the
percentage was 11.3%), but is approximately the same level as in 2005.

you are reading an old report because that's the latest available translated in english.

I see that now. Thanks.

again that's based on percentage of population, and sex crimes specifically went from 1% to 1.7%. Its hiding the dramatic raw number increase in occurrences particularly in 2015 when they brought in ~170k refugees.
