There was a mass shooting by a gang in one of the Ghettos yesterday. Before that a couple of clicks east of there, a guy got stabbed in a tunnel. Before that a lady who passed out outside her door (forgot her keys, was drunk) got dragged into her apartment and raped by her neighbours (who ended up bragging about it to other neighbours) All in a Sunday.

There's more Crime in Sweden than you think.

Let's not exaggerate the crime in Sweden. The best measure for crime is the homicide rate (since death is harder to fake than for example theft, and since it rarely goes unreported as for example rape). The homicide rate for Sweden is 1/10 of that of Russia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentiona...
You were slightly ahead of me :)
Of course there are crimes, but statistically it might be lower than in other places. For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentiona...
