I never thought of Sweden as a high crime country.
Since we went into the European Union with more open borders there is more crime and weapons in our country.
But we still have good weapon control and don`t let everyone have a weapon. So far no shooting in schools and so on.
Yeah, but there sure are a lot of grenade attacks there for a country with good weapon control.

Idiot.
They have a need to create barriers to their hospitals too because their foreign population love to run in them and attack doctors.
Stupid Sweden.
Sweden has in recent years seen a sharp increase in the number of shootings per capita, with research suggesting that the Scandinavian country is statistically on par with southern Italy and parts of Ireland.
In 2016, some 250 shootings (random, fatal and non-fatal) were registered by police in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. In 2014, that number came to 200, indicating that Sweden is experiencing a drastic rise in such incidents.
We've got 300+ for the second year in a row in Baltimore, a city of fewer than 650,000 people. Swedish wimps and wannabes!
Liberal goal:
Law abiding gun owners to be punished severely while gun carrying criminals to be treated leniently.

This story is not about it being especially dangerous in Sweden to go jogging alone at night - it is not. This story is about cops in Sweden making anyone feel comfortable to go jogging or walking, at a time they choose. I like that.
Conversely, it seems that many Americans get their information about Sweden from Breitbart or RT, where it has morphed into some kind of Xenophobe's worst nightmare...
Couldn't have anything to do with the large influx of immigrants, could it? You know...the ones taking over neighborhoods so that police can't/won't enter and that huge spike in rapes in 2 years time. Purely coincidental.
Only 200 shootings in Sweden in 2015, the majority nonfatal and this includes suicides, etc. If the criminals are the only ones with guns they must be nicer than our criminals.

Shhhh... you are ruining the gun idiots' stupid reasoning. You're making too much sense. They'll start blabbering on about 2nd amendment garbage while boasting about their twelve AR-15s.
According to a report published by academic researchers in 2017, shooting incidents with fatal outcomes are about 4 to 5 times as common in Sweden compared to neighbouring countries such as Germany and Norway when taking population size into account. The city with the highest prevalence of shootings was Malmö. The grave violence in the studied period also changed character, from criminal motorcycle gangs to city suburbs.[43][44] Sweden also stands out in having a low resolution rate (25%) for gun homicides compared to Germany and Finland at 90%.[44]

Err, you forgot to actually comprehend the data.
250 shootings in 3 Swedish cities (2016) is not the same as 200 shootings in Sweden (2015).
And no, this doesn't include suicides (but nice try...)
In fact, 2014 had 128 gun suicides in Sweden (WHO 2016), and 26 gun homicides.
I don't know what "majority nonfatal" is meant to mean, but that's true in most places where shooting statistics are kept.

An example of a figure from Brå’s statistics which paints one picture in isolation but a different one with further context is that the number of rapes reported in Sweden increased by 13 percent in 2016 to 6,560.
According to Brå's figures, 10,500 incidents of sexual molestation were reported in the country in 2016 – a striking increase of 20 percent on 2015 (when 8,840 were reported).
I get why Kenya is generally hated on this site (jealousy) but I can't, for the life of me, figure out why Sweden has been singled out for so many threads and debates.

Because, not long ago Sweden was considered to be one of the best countries in the World in which to live. Now, according to the United Nations, their Human Development Index is plummeting. By 2030, it is projected that Sweden will be surpassed by many former Third World countries.
You want to know which country is projected to have the highest HDI in the World by 2030... Japan! Sweden has embraced cultural Marxism and open borders. Japan has not.
Sweden is the proverbial canary in the coal mine when it comes to destructive left-wing policies.
Swedish liberal MP destroyed
Not only women, but almost one out of three Swedes, do not feel safe in Sweden, according to a new poll that asked 6,300 Swedes how safe they feel in their homes and communities.
According to Mikaela Blixt, after a man attacked her in the street and tried to rape her, the police did nothing, even though she knew where her attacker lived and could easily have identified him.
The Swedish mainstream media outlet, Expressen, wanted to interview Blixt, but, according to her, only on condition that she not mention that her attacker was an Afghan migrant.
The police seemed so studiously uninterested in finding and arresting the rapist (at least until her case went viral on Facebook). Only a week after Blixt was assaulted, three women in the neighboring town of Karlstad were raped on the same night. The next day there, a fourth woman was the victim of an attempted rape.
https://www.expressen.se/gt/40-arig-kvinna-utsatt-for-misstankt-valdtaktsforsok/Ruhollah Karimi, 17, was granted asylum in Sweden last year. As grounds for asylum, he stated that he is afraid of being sexually assaulted in his native country Afghanistan, where there is a tradition of “dancing boys”, who are gang raped by older men. However, less than a year later he participated in a gang rape of a 15-year-old Swedish girl. He was convicted, but not expelled – because he is still in danger of being raped in Afghanistan.
Two migrants from Afghanistan were recently convicted of serious rape of a 15-year-old girl. The assault took place on 2 September this year, under a bridge next to the central station in Stockholm.
Ruhollah Karimi, was sentenced to institutional care for ten months. The prosecutor called for expulsion, but the District Court believes that he is still at risk of being sexually assaulted in Afghanistan, and he may therefore stay in Sweden.
Personal robbery is now so common in Sweden that the police urge Swedes to DNA mark their belongings. Especially in winter, the robbery of expensive jackets increases, according to the police.
In order to prevent personal robbery, but also to be able to tie suspects to crime, the police now urge Swedes to use so-called SelectaDNA on their and their children’s winter jackets, mobile phones and other “attractive belongings”.
A marked garment increases the chance of recovering the stolen goods and tying a suspect to the crime, says the police.
“Thefts in shops, schools and changing rooms are increasing as well,” says Claes Rohit, crime preventer at Nacka police district.
“Among young people it is common to buy jackets of the same brand. Therefore, clearly label the clothes. That too prevents crime.”
“If you have DNA marked a winter jacket or mobile phone, police patrols that encounter a suspected perpetrator can tie the person to that crime.

The official statistics of the National Security Survey (NTU) from the Swedish Council for Crime Prevention (Brå) show a very worrying trend for Swedish girls and young women.
In 2006, 2.5 per cent of all women reported that men had commit sexual offences toward them.
But since 2013 there has been a large surge in the number of cases with now 10.7 per cent of women who say that men have commit a sexual offence against them.
After specifying the groups, a much more worrying statistic is revealed. Young women in the 16-24 age category have seen a massive increase in sexual harassment by men, the Brå report shows.
The number of sexual offences against this group has seen a surge from 7.1 percent in 2006 to 34.4 percent in 2017.
