> Research carried out by TV4’s Kalla Fakta (‘Cold Facts’) investigative news programme also revealed that violent crimes and robberies make up about 75 percent of all crimes reported in Sweden.

Those numbers are bullshit. If we look at Brå's statistics (http://www.bra.se/download/18.22a7170813a0d141d21800063138/1...) we see that:

  Total crimes 2012: 1156390
  Other+petty theft:  317869 27.5%
  Vandalism:          152345 13.2%
  Fraud:              129063 11.2%

  Robbery:              9213  0.8%
