Crime in Stockholm, Sweden

that comment made by an anonymous user on Jan 01 2023 is an example of fake news. Muggling and robbing is extremely rare. And a why would a lawyer also get shot while leaving the court. And even the news hasnt reported this.

Don't mind me, I'm just a conspiracy theorist and racist sharing my latest propaganda.

I'm sure it's safer than most cities in USA and South America.

Daisy, so calling out delinquent middle eastern youths who form gangs, harass shop owners and catcall women on the street is "conspiracy theorists and racists"??? haha having lived in both Austria and Sweden I can tell you that any major city in Austria would be a whole magnitude safer...

I've been living all over Europe. The stats on numbeo have been quite accurate for general guideline. For Sweden there seem to be some kind of defensive attitude or unwillingness to see how things are and to accept the statistics.

It's a sort of blue eyed idealism that Swedish people have in regards to the world.

Sweden in general was one of the safest countries in the world, especially in the sixties, seventies and eighties until the late nineties at the latest, and the situation this country reached now is very dire.

The situation of Sweden and other First World countries that have been severely affected by the encroachment of Islamic immigration looks very bad if we do not say that these countries are marching to the brink of the abyss.

I believe that what is happening now is the result of the war between the Christian Western civilization represented by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy and the contemporary global Jewish civilization that called for the decadence and creative chaos represented by the Jews, Israel and the United States, France and the United Kingdom in particular, and with the terrible defeat Christian civilization suffered. Western. Here are the countries of the Christian West today paying a heavy price as a result of the defeat of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy in the Second World War, and in the name of democracy, tolerance, rejection of racism, acceptance of difference and coexistence, the Jews winners in the WW2 enacted laws to suppress Western Christian peoples and brought Muslims as inmigrants
To western christian countrys for destroy the western Christian civilization.

And the Jews openly declare it, the fall of the Western Christian civilization is good news for them because it will accelerate the emergence of the Antichrist and the application of the new world order.

And one of the French rabbis said that there will come a day when Muslims will go out to slaughter the Europeans.

Stockholm is definitely on slippery plane when it comes to safety and crime. And you will not recignize the city as it used to be. The total mass immigration by mostly muslims from Africa and middle eastern countries have totally changed the demographic of also the inner city. Africans, arabs and afghans in larger groups have totally made the city into a place to avoid after working hours.

Thank your left liberal politician for the devastation.

Come now, G Man, don't be intellectually dishonest. A previous poster wrote: "Coming from South America and have been lived in Stockholm for 1.5 years now, I can tell that that I don't feel safe in Stockholm.".

Another commenter wrote to not come to Sweden because of how dangerous it is! Your sources of "daily mail" and Danish source aren't reputable and facts > Feelings.

That is a ridiculous comment on and of itself.

"Try to move to Rinkeby and have your kids study in those schools"

While I understand your intended point any reader must view this from the lens you proffered. Crime even in the deepest of Rinkeby night pales in comparison to the majority of US cities. The "bad areas" of any US city are multiples worse than anywhere in Sweden.

I lived in Memphis, a city of 600k people that had almost as many murders as the entirety of Sweden in a single year. Your fearmongering is absolutely dishonest.

My wife lived in Rio de Janeiro and her company had to pay $3000 a month for private bodyguards. Pretending Sweden is anywhere close to LATAM is a farcical lie by the SD.

I had an SD tell me that Sweden was more dangerous than the Middle East. Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran? Such sad lies.

As for Rinkeby give me a break, you are simply projecting and have never lived there yourself. I have been there numerous times day and night with my family because, unlike SD members, I have friends of different cultures and socioeconomic classes.

At the end of the day: Yes, some Swedes are scared because crime has risen beyond their own comfort zone. That is a fact. It is not a dangerous country in the least, despite what the commenters try to say.

I see all of these silly comments about how dangerous Sweden is. On the list of most dangerous countries in the world, spanning 163 countries, Sweden is at 143. Only Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland and a few Nordic countries are above it. Norway is below it.

When looking at Crime, Sweden is well below dangerous countries and definitely below the US. The numbers there are skewed because Sweden actually counts non-confirmed assaults in the record while the US can't figure out how to report. I have lived in Stockholm Centrum, Gothenburg Centrum, and Helsingborg Centrum. The first two are cities with Metro areas in the multi-million and my 9-12 year old child, like many other children, walks to school, takes the subway, takes the buses... alone. Many 1st-2nd grade children walk alone.

I would never feel the same safety in many European countries, nor in the US, which I lived for 35+ years.

Has crime got worse in Sweden in the last 20 years? Sure, I definitely could agree with that premise. But you are talking about a country with 10 million people that has a murder rate less than half of almost any US city, that has violent crime rates well below any major city. Germany is multiples higher.

Someone below said: "Coming from South America and have been lived in Stockholm for 1.5 years now, I can tell that that I don't feel safe in Stockholm. I came from a violent country to work here expecting to have some peace and, unfortunatelly, I don't feel safe here either."

Which is absolute bs, most South American countries have massive travel warnings due to extreme violence. Latin America is the worlds most DANGEROUS REGION. For someone to say they feel unsafe in Stockholm, where children walk around eating ice cream by themselves in the dark of morning, is pathetically manipulative lying.

Most of the comments below are from Sweden Democrats (not to be confused with Social Democrats). There is a good comedy sketch on youtube that shows an SD walking around, someone bumps into them and they realize it is an immigrant so they go home and angrily type massive messages and comments about how the country is overrun, someone crosses the street at a red turn signal (a thing all stockholmare do) but they are an immigrant... again, goes home angrily ranting on internet, someone walks to the front of a cue to give his wife an orange they forgot... but it is an immigrant so he throws his hands up in disgust and runs home to type an angry rant...

That is what you see below in this comment thread. The angry ranting of people who are unable to fully explain their anger and pain.

When I arrived in Sweden and Gothenburg, I remember an older middle-aged bald Sven telling me: Don't go to this area at night though, it is very dangerous. I laughed, having just left Detroit, and did indeed come out at night on a weekend. There were party revelers, immigrant and non-immigrant, there were families, there were people out trying to buy last minute milk. There was a sketchy guy against a wall who turned out to be an ICA worker huddled up against the cold catching a smoke break.

Sure, you can always see something bad in anything and Sweden is not crime-free, but to quote one of the best written articles on the subject:

"Gur says that 20 years ago, Sweden had just three residential areas where significant numbers of citizens did not work and did not have access to good schools — the indispensable instrument of social mobility in Sweden’s high-tech economy. That number, he says, has now reached 186. I visited several of these areas in Malmo, and they looked vastly cleaner, smaller, and safer than any American inner city. But for Sweden, it’s something new, and troubling."

Sweden is the new ghetto in the Nordic countries. In 5-8 years the left destroyed Sweden totally. In 2 years 300m from my apartment near city. 4 rapes, 3 robbings, one with an axe. Three days ago a stopped a burglar going in to my neighbor home. Once three Easterners tried to take my dog, had to fight them off. Visit Norway and Finland and be safe or do like Tourists in South Africa, dont be out after 20.00, 0800pm.

I’ll move to Norway because there are too many Africans monkeys here

Stockholm has degenerated over the last 20 years. Crimes increasing, especially accelerating after 2014 when a massive inflow of beggers from East Europe, that now occupy entrance to shops everywhere. This has been followed by international burglar gangs. Got both my car once and my appartment 3 times broken into. And I live in a supposedly safe neighbourhood. A collegue was assulted and got his car stolen at the nearby gas station. Besides these incidents that we are slowly geting usel to, it is a very beutiful area. Lots of green areas and Water, low pollution. Although littering is becoming a problem due to immigration from other cultures that do think that waste can be left anywhere. Healthcare is very good if you have a private insurance. Public healthcare is a lottery, can be excellent or bad depending on staff at a given time.

People are literally treating Sweden like it has a higher crime rate than the USA. That is utter bullshit. However, the rape rate is higher.

Now, i'm not saying there is no crime in Sweden, gang activity and rape rates are on the rise.

Yes, Canada is pursuing a more complex and strict immigration policy, but it remains an opportunistic policy in any case,
Canada adopts a policy of brain drain and is only concerned with attracting talents to meet the needs of the labor market and is not concerned with ideological backgrounds of immigrants, You find that Arab and Muslim immigrants residing in Canada have a very high level of education, are proficient in the French and English language, and occupy important jobs with very high wages, but this does not at all affect their militant Islamic ideological tendencies. On the contrary, the Arab and Muslim communities in Canada are more organized and their subversive activities remain more secret and more effectiveness
Secondly, the Arab and Islamic communities in canada remain the sublime sponsors of extremist Islamic activities in the world, and considering that their jobs in radical religious work remain elitist, they do not need to express their tendencies with violence and barbarism as which Arabs and Muslims immigrants doing in Europe. What Canada does not know is that no Arab or Muslim has ideas compatible with Western values ​​because the latter are simply considered contrary to Islamic values. Therefore, it is not difficult for them to cheat the integration-related exams to achieve their goal of reaching Canada. But their inclinations and beliefs remain completely the same and this is called penetration. Unfortunately, Canada thinks that it is in control of the situation, but it is in fact a penetrating country, and the worst is that the qualified Arab and Muslim immigrants living in Canada are more dangerous than the clandestine immigrants and refugees scattered in Europe. The only country that pursues an exemplary immigration policy is Norway, because it is tough on Arabs and Muslims in particular, and it was more appropriate for Sweden to follow the Norwegian model.

Coming from South America and have been lived in Stockholm for 1.5 years now, I can tell that that I don't feel safe in Stockholm. I came from a violent country to work here expecting to have some peace and, unfortunatelly, I don't feel safe here either.

You can see a group ou 4-5 youngsters looking for troubble everywhere. They stare at you, try to intimidate you and if they have the opportunity they will beat you. The metro stations aren't safe at all after 11PM and the number of policemen is laughable. Some say that the problem with rape statistics is the definition and because they report more here but if you follow https://brottsplatskartan.se/ you will see that the number of rapes by unknown perpetrators are scaring anyway.

As an expat myself I can tell you that 99% of the time the ones causing problems aren't blond and called Björn. Most part of my friends that came here to work (high skilled workers) share the same viewpoint and some are considering moving to the Netherlands or to other european countries due to, among other things, the unsafety feeling.

It seems that the locals are always pretending they don't see stuff so they don't get involved in any problems. You see people sneaking in the metro without paying and nobody does anything. You see a group of youngsters threatening and harassing women and no one says anything... What they do (the ones who can afford) is to move to a safer neighborhood and it is done. If things keep that way I think Swedes will regret a lot not being acted before.

Immigration is an unavoidable thing nowadays. Companies need skilled workers, the country needs investors, it is good to have younger people coming and compensating the aging of a developed society but it has to be planned in a way that makes sense. Sweden grants hundreds of thousands of refugees that they know will not be integrated. Swedish people are highly educated, they speak a very good english and etc. How can a refugee without proper education compete in the labour market here? How can they integrate without work? Why the bad apples aren't deported? How can it be that the same gang can be seen day after day dealing in the same metro station? C'mon, if things keep that way, Sweden will soon become a very unattractive country.

Black monkeys please go back to your jungle in africa

It is racism of the middle easterns and africans towards the white race. It is the hidden hatred and the inherent hatred of the white race. I live in Morocco and I live with these corrupt peoples and I know them rightly.

I am a descendant of the Caucasian Circassians who were displaced to North Africa because of the Russo-Caucasian war in a year 1864 I also belong to the white race and because of this ethnicity I am subjected to all kinds of persecution and my father was subjected to it by me and we are still subjected to him to this day that this persecution increased exacerbation after the refugee crisis in Europe and considered Morocco a safe country, which made our release from this Persecution is impossible.

We made a decision to seek asylum in another country because our lives were in danger and even the Moroccan state supported this persecution. And she searches by all means to arrest us and torture us to death. All I want is to expose the racism of Moroccans globally and that these are these immigrants who speak in the name of tolerance and coexistence and accept the other and that they want to live in peace with European peoples or if it is true that the exploitation of social privileges and plundering the capabilities of European peoples, these migrants They practice the most heinous forms of persecution against others in their countries of origin.

Migrants must be boycotted and the Swedish community should refrain from integrating with them. This enhances their social isolation. When they are socially isolated, oversight and laws must be tightened on them. There is a mistake made by Sweden, which is the integration of immigrants into sovereign occupations such as the police and the army. From the penetration of the Swedish state, and secondly, the European Union is considered one of the causes of the immigration crisis and the European Union undermines the sovereignty of European countries and undermines the will of European peoples. Therefore, the European Union must be overthrown To restore your sovereignty over your countries, because by regaining your sovereignty over your countries, you will be able to clean your countries and expel the immigrants from them in the appropriate way.

A Swedish nationalist party like the Spanish Vox party must be established that raises the issue of immigration and migrants in Sweden and defends Swedish national, social and cultural security, We must not obey the two types of weapons that migrants use to deceive public opinion, accuse nationalists of racism and spread hate speech, which is the weapon migrants use to frustrate nationalists, broken their credibility and weaken their positions,
The truth of the immigrants must be revealed to the public with evidence and proof and that they are the real racists, All videos documenting the tyranny and crime of migrants must be collected and used as evidence to condemn them and strengthen the attitudes of nationalists, The second thing is to be cautious of brainwashing campaigns that immigrants organize whenever they sense danger to themselves and resort to the method of flexibility and deception and present themselves as symbols of diversity, tolerance, coexistence and non-deception by the slogans we are all humans and we are all brothers, and we all are not evil, They are only Slogans are nothing more than a means to circumvent and absorb the wrath of the oppressed European people, of tyranny, criminality and terrorism spread by immigrants.

Message for #eva :
Thank you #eva very much for your comment. Thank you so much to all the commentators who have come to know the realities of things and no way to deceive the Europeans with tolerance, coexistence and acceptance of others promoted by Morocco, because these immigrants in general and hypocritical Moroccans, pranks, terrorist killers in particular, are the last to believe in these values.

A young man fatally shot by Swedish police while carrying a toy gun in Stockholm had Down's syndrome and a form of autism, local media report.
He was reported missing after leaving home hours earlier, his family said.

Eric's mother, Katarina Söderberg, said the toy was a gift and she described her son as "the world's kindest man".
Police fired 25 shots in total, three of which struck Torell who died at the scene.

Everyone living in Stockholm will render the previous comments bullshit unless you live in southern parts of Stockholm. Every city has a worse place where criminals live. It's naive to think there is a safe place in this world.

Im just an ordinary guy who has hung out much in Stockholm so i would say i have access to information that ordinary inhabitants dont. The last 20 years has been rough years for Stockholm and this city has degenerated immensely to the extent that i feel that ive moved to a different country, even a different part of the world despite living in the same appartment for the whole timespan. During the past year 3 of my friends has lost people to guns despite non of them being involved in crime. One was shot 20 times on the way home from school and this is now completely normal. Every young person with ambitions ive spoken too has thought of moving or will move. The soviet style government disregards all of this as propaganda and tries to change our history and make us question our sanity by saying its always been this way.

Swedish National Public Television SVT reports today that the number of explosions has increased since last year. The figures show a 45 per cent increase during the first half of the year. The trend with more explosions has been seen over the past three years, according to Petra Stenkula, investigative director at the Police Region South.

Inviting all the muslims was the mistake, now it's more iraq than Sweden. The solution is to clean the Country from muslims, before it's too late!

I was living in a neighborhood considered dangerous for two years. It is, actually, dangerous for Swedish standards, but I have lived in many other countries and it is far safer than other cities around Europe. Once I had the impression that somebody was trying to steal some bikes and I made them run away, and a few days later my bike was robbed. I guess this happens nearly everywhere.

About fires and crime rise, yeah I noticed it somehow, but I actually blame more the police for its inaction, because it was really like 5 youngsters creating chaos, and if police does not take actions against 5 idiots, they will be dangerous.

In the night you may feel a bit uncomfortable walking around, but this is simply because there is literally nobody around, that means if someone wants to hurt you, there will be nobody helping you. I have been in much more dangerous cities, but I did not feel this attitude as streets are always crowded at any time of the day.

The comment from "Jimmie" shows a perfect example of fake news....
