Swedish community grapples with kids joining gangs | DW News

More and more schoolchildren in Sweden are dealing drugs and pulling triggers before they're even teenagers. The surge in violence involving children has another alarming trend - that the young people are seeking out the gangs and not the other way around. That's what has compelled these men to offer us a glimpse into their world, saying they want to steer young people away from it.

I'm from an European country and don't see any problems with asian immigrants such as Chinese and Indians mixing and working hard in society but it always seems to be a subset that follow a specific culture/religion that always expect more from host countries whilst insisting on not working at all and with no desire to integrate but yet still want to be entitled whilst blaming everyone else for their own failure.

I traveled to Sweden in 2017 and was in awe at how perfect it was compared to the uk. It got to the point where I was actively looking for things that could be wrong with the place by travelling on the train and randomly getting off at a unknown stop looking for the bad part of town. But I was always pleasantly surprised to find another piece of pristine utopian society with not so much as a single piece of rubbish on the floor or homeless person on the street. I don’t question any of this has changed but to think guns, gangs, and child shootings can exist with this kind of backdrop is quite bizarre.

[@AXXeYY]

that part is the same as an in 2017!!! for the most part this is all about 2nd gen immigrants taking bad decisions. a Gangster identity developed through music and social media in second generation immigrant circles and children are fed this through tiktok and other social media from a very early age. the police warn about 13-year-old children who are waiting in line with the gangs to do contract killings. an occurred word is= 'brösta en fyra för att bli en hundragubbe' and it means something like this 'kill one and sit in a juvenile facility for four years' to be an 100% gangster'

'in the hoods' everything Swedish is seen as bad. a bit like a negative cultural expression. The second generation immigrants has developed an antisocial dominance behavior mixed with gang culture. taking the path through education is not considered for them according to themselves.

The reason why those young men and women feel like they do not belong to the whole. They start life economically disadvantaged compared to people who have been a long time in the country and is therefore also condemned to living where no one else wants to live. The concentration to these spots leads to no mixing with the majority culture and therefore a feeling of disenfranchisement. Growing inequality because of change in tax policies to lower tax and extremely low interest rates have made it possible for some to get way ahead economically. Great for them but not so great for everyone left behind which also makes positive change a difficult conflict because of course those who have gained do not want to let up.

[@lkjh861]

It's not necessarily racism, although a certain fatigue is definitely setting in. Scandinavians tend to put privacy at the very top of their list of priority ~ so trying to force your own values on someone else, is considered invasive and therefore deeply offensive. Which often also leads to Scandinavians not enforcing their own rules on foreigners, because "they need an extra chance to learn them first". At the same time, Scandinavians are also keenly aware that for most of human history, they were the barbarians ~ so Scandinavians also tend to think of themselves as culturally unsophisticated, yet their modern post-WW2 cultures are extremely sophisticated when it comes to human psychology, democracy and society. Meaning Scandinavians tend to assume their cultures are easy to learn ~ when many aspects are extremely subtle, nuanced and understated. Finally, that same self-image as culturally simple also leads to the assumption that Scandinavian culture is easy to read ~ meaning Scandinavians almost never explicitly communicate what the rules of society are, barely even when you have broken them. You are simply just shut out. Although the motivation is actually modesty, a lack of cultural ego and a deep respect for privacy ~ it creates a "game" where the rules are never communicated, punishment is metered out without consistency and nothing is ever explained. Especially for more extroverted cultures, that tend to get in your face to get a reaction, this creates a never-ending spiral of confrontation -> punishment -> lack of explanation -> new attempt at confrontation. The Swedes obviously have a right to be Swedish in Sweden, but it's hard to blame foreigners for not being able to figure out rules and participate constructively in society, when those rules are never explained ~ and sometimes not enforced until too late (over-lenience).

I honestly think the issue was in housing. As in, while it would have been harder then, it would have been better to give the immigrants housing with locals and spread the immigrants out so that their neighbors would all be locals. This way, they wouldn't form ghettos since people tend to stick with what is familiar (which is normal) and they would sort of be forced to adapt or to see that the locals tend to be very hands off in general and that's just the culture (plus forced them to interact with the locals even if in a professional way).

I have seen Chinese Thai or Latin American immigrants in Europe though not fully integrated, they are not involved in crime or violence, nor do they bring the politics of where they come from. Why is it only immigratnts from a certain background creating issues in literally all EU countries? Something needs to be done to help them

[@Commenter9120]

yes this is the main problems associated with migration, from syria,iraq,erbil, somalia,morocco etc. They do not want to adapt to the cultural difference of the advanced land but they want to force their old culture and force it upon the swedes

The Swedes did it to themselves! And crime is the least of the problem. Eventually, they will be outnumbered and the country will go the way of Lebanon.

[@Musician7831]

Does seem odd that a very peaceful crime free inclusive caring society with a really good benefits safety net is the one having the finger pointed at them. I can understand if there was some kind of south Africa situation, but this is the opposite. I'm not going to comment further but honestly given solid evidence, Sweden does not treat people in it's country badly. To point the finger at the Swedish system seems awfully lazy.

[@owindustry]

Social interaction, activities, community teaching circles, cooperation, integration, inclusion, communication are insufficient in Swedish society. More importantly, immigrant and native Swedish youth needs love, compassion and guidance at a personal level in their life which is also largely missing. That is the main reason why the suicide rate is too high among youth in Sweden.

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

Criminality exists in all societies, including Sweden, due to a variety of complex factors. These factors can include socio-economic disparities, lack of access to education and employment opportunities, substance abuse, mental health issues, peer influences, and community factors such as neighborhood crime rates. While parents can play a role in influencing their children's behavior, it is important to understand that criminality is a multi-faceted issue with roots in societal, environmental, and individual factors. In Sweden, like in any other country, efforts are made to address crime through various means such as crime prevention programs, rehabilitation services, law enforcement, and social welfare initiatives. Addressing criminality requires a holistic approach that involves not just parents, but also the government, community organizations, schools, and other stakeholders working together to create a safe and supportive environment for individuals to thrive and make positive choices.

It use to be my favorite country in Europe, but few years back driving through Malmoe in the morning felt like middle east and one of my swedish friends told my that is crappy to be Swed in Sweden because they are the only once who have to work. Imigrants from out of Europe or America don't share our culture, values, work ethic etc. so how you want to include milions of people into the system and society which is completely different from theirs it does not make sence and i'm glad Europe is finally waking up.

[@mimisor66]

Maybe the Swedes were too lax in applying the law to those ghettoized minorities. Afraid of being called racist when they apply the law to people of a darker colour. This does not help anyone, not the host majority, neither the minority that has to live with these criminal gangs in their midst. Ghettoes are the issue here. Break them up, let them live scattered among the others, they will integrate sooner and better.

[@Mahbu]

A tough lesson the US struggles to learn in that marginalization and/or poverty is fertile ground for gangs to grow. When you're a marginalized or disadvantaged people with no recourse through institutions, you turn to people like yourself. First for protection, then for a living. Then for wealth and power.

[@brazendesigns]

Exactly! Here in Europe it’s Arabs. In the USA it’s African Americans. So clearly it doesn’t have to do with race or culture, it has to do with marginalisation, generational poverty, and lack of equal opportunity to lift yourself out of the situation.

[@owindustry]

you should read history: US and France colonized africa and stole their everything like money, diamonds, arts, properties, lands, minerals...etc. Plus. US and France used Africans as a slave. US invaded Iraq and Syria for oil and drove them out from their homelands.

When my grandparents were kids, almost 100 years ago, 95% of the working Swedes were poorer than people on welfare today. The crime rate was LOWER than it is today. Also, guns were totally uncontrolled, yet there weren't 10% of the shootings that there are today.

The Youth Criminal Justice Act of Canada, my country of birth, citizenship and residence, starts holding people criminally responsible for relevant offences committed if age 12 or over. That includes the option to slap wife sentences on those who, at the time of given offense , were 14 or older, but under 18, with anyone who, at the time of a given criminal offense, was 18 or over, eligible, in some cases, to be given life sentences. Murder, under the criminal codes of Canada, the Republic of Ireland, England and Hong Kong, comes with life imprisonment as the mandatory penalty to be slapped on anyone who, at the time of a given relevant offense for which he or she was convicted, was age 18 or over. Judges have the option to slap, on anyone else otherwise, at the time of a given murder for which a defendant was convicted, age 14 or over, life imprisonment, although the prosecution has to prove that such event-youth deserves a life sentence. Those countries and territories that don’t put in place such penalties for murder should take a good look in the mirror and start to do what Candida’s adult and youth criminal codes have already put in place. That said, rehabilitation of offenders also matters so that those who have been imprisoned are way less likely to come out as repeat offenders.

[@juanjacobomoracerecero6604]

This is very strange. Middle Easterners that migrate to Latin America are very respected and respectul people, owning bussinesses and they preserve a lot and even share some of their customs with the locals, they merge with the locals maintaining a great deal of independence in their customs. In Sweden they seem to be the opposite? Many people blame the freedom of Sweden, but, if that was the case in Latin America we have less freedom than Sweden but we have a lot of debauchery, so, it would be easier for them to behave in ill ways here than in Sweden. This is counterintuitive.

[@rinsolaris2284]

A lot of it imo is due to culture and exposure to multiculturalism. Non-whites are more marginalized in Europe than Latin America. Also, Latinos are extroverted culturally and are more exposed to multi-ethnic groups, so immigrants integrate there more easily. Northern Europe is homogenous ethnically and culturally. Socially, they can be distant and aloof. It's hard for an immigrant to feel welcomed or safe when people around barely talk to you. I'm Asian. As a tourist, I always feel welcomed in Latin American countries. Scandinavia is meh. People either ignore me or condescending. I can just imagine how much worse it must be like living there.

[@juanjacobomoracerecero6604]

@@rinsolaris2284 Interesting observations, yes, I think we in Latin America being a melting pot since the very birth of the countries feel less disrupted by people from other countries that's why in Brazil japanese integrated very well being from the opposite side of the world, or the Palestinians and Balkan people in Chile.
