Congratulations Sweden

[Paltmull]

Hi Fragony. I'm going to quote myself a third time now. I suggest you bookmark this post so you can read it the next time you want to discuss this subject.

Norway no problems, must be kidding me. If you bring your wife when you go on a holiday to Norway she's more likely to get raped than in any African country. If you stay on the countryside it's all fine, but the city's have been enriched with people with culture. Norway and Sweden are on the top on the rape index, leaving even South-Africa gloriously behind

Edit, must be updated, Sweden is now one point below South-Africa scoring an impressive 17, leaving many third world countries behind, impressive. Denmark proudly is on number seven where women are most likely to be raped in the universe and surroundings, blessfull Norway sits at 13, just beating Pakistan that is 14

Yep

Of course import of people who have culture has nothing to do with it

I know this post is quite early in the thread, but I've got to reply:

Seriously? Come on. Here's an old post that I wrote on this subject about a year ago:

[...] I just want to point out a couple of facts regarding Swedish rape statistics. One important explanation for the high Swedish rape rates is the fact that Swedish rape laws since 2005 are more including than the laws of most other countries. Cases that earlier would have been classified as sexual exploitation are now classified as rape. Since 2005, the numbers of charges for sexual exploitation have decreased and those for rape have increased.

You can read about the Swedish statistics for rape and sex offence here (an article in English at the website of the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention) if you are interested. Another factor that they point out, which I think is very important, is a growing tendency to report rape crimes to the police (probably due to increased gender equality among other things). Of course Sweden doesn't have the third most rapes in the world. The claim that Sweden has more rapes than, say, Congo is of course completely absurd.

I don't know where you looked up the statistics, but Nationmaster presents the same statistics and is the top hit on Google, so I suppose that's your source. If you look at the bottom of the page you'll see the claim that "Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence."

Furthermore, Finland - our neighbouring country that has the same rape percentage as Sweden - barely has any immigration at all.

Here's another good article that confirms what I've written above. It explains that, although Sweden tops the statistics of reported sex crimes, the estimation of actual commited sex crimes is at about European average.

As many rapes as South Africa? Please.

Bye!
