Anyways in conclusion, Oslo is a very deadly city, if you care about your personal safety DO NOT VISIT!!!!!
China Japan Korea Vietnam Singapore indonesia is more safer place.
Now it is: "Stockholm is a safe city, keep yourself in the inner city (kungsholmen, norrmalm, södermalm, östermalm) and you will not have any troubles."
What is it going to be in the next years?

But hey, perhaps she is just reflecting on "the attitudes to immigration rather than actual crime stats." Or maybe Expressen is just bias newspaper. Or or, maybe Sweden just has crime like any other country but still better than USA? I know right?
His lawyer that he had to get was leaving court same thing robbed, beaten and shot!
Sweden is not safe at all! I really wanted to visit sweden hearing it’s a beautiful place. Not no more! I have a better chance in Milwaukee to walk down a street and not get mugged/ robbed or beaten or shot.
Sounds like the thugs run Stockholm not the police or the government!

I'm sure it's safer than most cities in USA and South America.
It's a sort of blue eyed idealism that Swedish people have in regards to the world.
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.
To say it's still better than Rio or the worst places in the US is a very destructive way of looking at it.
Sweden was one of the safest countries on the planet - which clearly isn't the case today.
The direction in which the country is going is everything else then good!
Or are we simply going to be happy as long as it hasn't turned into Mexico? what a bullshit argument
Thank your left liberal politician for the devastation.
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.
In addition, immigrant crimes are happening mostly in the suburbs where housing is cheaper. Money can shield you from reality. Try to move to Rinkeby and have your kids study in those schools.

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."
The European Union must be brought down until European countries regain their sovereignty again, amend their laws and expel Muslims from their lands even if they are forced to use armies and live ammunition.
"I've lived here for xx years, nothing has ever happened to me, it is safe here".
That's kinda like saying:
"I´ve never been in a car accident, it is safe, I don't need to wear a seatbelt".
Thing is, violent and sexual crime in Stockholm and Sweden has increased dramatically during the last ten years. Notably, the crimes themselves are getting more violent and ruthless. This affects the general feeling of security, especially in women and young men. The number of policemen per capita has decreased in later years, while the population and the number of crimes (and severity of the crimes) has increased. Gang crime is on the rise, and Swedish law aren't strong enough to prevent that.
I wouldn't recommend people moving here in general.
Meanwhile, its harder and harder to get good healthcare. The quality is high, but the accessibility is among the worst in Europe. Buying property is insanely expensive, and in the vast majority of municipalities there is a shortage of apartments to rent. People subletting apartments (including me) charge high prices. While you will make an okay salary if you work full time, the taxes are among the highest in the world.
To this, add that... :
... unemployment rates are rising
... GDP per capita is going down
... the total GDP isn't developing in the same rate as our neighbours and other comparable countries
... less than 38 percent of immigrants from the Middle East and Africa supports themselves (2016). Today, they are a big and fast growing part of the population and the potential workforce.
Is it still an OK country? Yes, it is. But compared to just 10 - 20 years ago, a lot of things have taken a turn for the worse. At the moment, there are no signs of this changing. For the long run, I'm looking at other countries like Norway, Switzerland and the other states in the Nordics. I don't want my kids growing up in Stockholm today or in the future.
Now, i'm not saying there is no crime in Sweden, gang activity and rape rates are on the rise.
Far less safe than the world and Sweden so proudly declares itself to be.
I feel that when those who are willingly ignorant of the crime situation realise what's going on that it will be too late.
Personally it just grinds my gears how exaggerated the safety is in the city. Most cities are overly critical of themselves. Stockholm is overly complimentary.
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.
