Sweden on the way to self-destruction?

Is Sweden now the rape capital of the world? No. (self.europe)

This is probably the favorite chart of any anti-immigration activist on the internet. It clearly shows that, as a result of Sweden's liberal immigration policy and overly humane refugee acceptance, the country has now become a hellscape where blue-eyed women are raped daily by Muslims and blacks. As much so that now there are more per capita rapes in Sweden than in Bolivia.

There are two major problems with these statistics.

I. "In Sweden there has been this ambition explicitly to record every case of sexual violence separately, to make it visible in the statistics," according to Klara Selin, a sociologist at the National Council for Crime Prevention in Stockholm. "So, for instance, when a woman comes to the police and she says my husband or my fiance raped me almost every day during the last year, the police have to record each of these events, which might be more than 300 events. In many other countries it would just be one record - one victim, one type of crime, one record."

This technical note renders this whole comparison meaningless, but let's go further, because the second point is more interesting.

II. As everyone who has ever studied criminology knows, in the case of rape, there is insane latency rates. If there is willingness to report rape, the number will skyrocket in any country. In countries where rape remains associated with a strong taboo and a high level of shame, the propensity to report such offences probably tends to be lower than in countries characterized by a higher level of sexual equality. The findings of the 2000 International Crime Victims Survey indicate that the respondents' satisfaction with the police is above average in Sweden. Sweden has also been ranked number one in sexual equality.

In addition, there is also the issue of the broad legal definition of rape in Sweden.

If you are going to assess how much of a hellscape Sweden has become as a result of immigration based on a single piece of statistical data, I advise using another violent crime where latency is significantly lower; just to be one step closer to the truth, if that matters at all. There is the murder rate, for example:

I can't understand why you hate yourself so much that you would seek the destruction of your own society and nation. Did you do something terrible in your life to cause such self-loathing?

My brother (American like myself) has lived in Sweden for about 16 years and he and his wife work in Academia. He is pretty damn liberal but even he has said it has almost gotten unbearable in Sweden with Gypsies literally on every street corner begging and hustling. He lives is a well to do suburb of Stockholm and the problem is everywhere. He and his family and in-laws will be here for Christmas and I will do some informal interviews to get a broader sense of their attitudes regarding what is going on in Sweden.

Israel does not have the same problem with immigrants. Perhaps we could study them and learn what they are doing different :eek:

Those gypsies aren't even the worst. Their core business is begging, pickpocketing and shoplifting. Annoying, but not life threatening.

Ricter is clearly not a guy to take things at their face value..can't really blame him for this, especially if you are in a trading business
with him and you guys we are obviously one step closer to the truth..
