Why can't Sweden get gang violence under control? | Focus on Europe

This has never happened before in Sweden: The government has called in the army to help combat rampant gang violence in the cities. The police seem overwhelmed, the politicians helpless. In 2022, 62 people were killed in shootings. And both perpetrators and victims are getting younger. During his research in Stockholm and Uppsala, our reporter wants to find out: Why is this wave of violence hitting 'tranquil' Sweden of all places...Why can't the authorities get it under control? Is the situation partly due to a failed integration policy? And: What are the ways out of the violence? Our reporter meets ex-gangsters, survivors, police officers and social workers.

[@greendsnow]

Dear Sweden, You can't just expect your immigrants to adapt to your culture and laws. You have to enforce it, in schools, in community centers, in language learning facilities. If someone is reluctant on adopting the culture... why are they in Sweden, why are you making them a citizen, what's your purpose?!

[@johanlarsson9805]

The entire media and all politics told us for 30 years that THEY SHOULDN'T adapt, they are equal to us if not better. Sweden culture sucks they said, we want MULTICULTURALISM, and people should not adapt, everyone should "integrate" instead, meaning retaining their uniqueness and forming "boundries" with every other cultural group, because these "boundries" between groups would be exiting and thrilling.

[@pancakes3250]

@@johanlarsson9805 Most have their own delusions, most don't know they do, most shouldn't know they do. Your comment is true, they preached bs, it caused all this, at least this bad, will get much worse. I do think what they said was half right for times and situation. They should not be forced to adapt, they should be treated equally, culture respected, taking that risk, this shouldn't be prevented by force, at least back then, and i think for now, hopefully in the future. However, not how it was presented back then, bs was pushed instead, probably without knowing it, desperate to do what they felt was right. I dont know what Sweden should do, however, my bias, for most,. not all, in similar, uncomfortable to say it nicely, too multicultural situations, not to try to end it forcefully, keep taking it, risking everything, hoping for the best, by believing or feeling, this way is the best chance for it. Could be my delusion, among many others.

Teacher in Sweden. One of the things that struck me is that when we notice a kid being a "springpojke", recruited by gangs, nothing happens. We call authorities but the bureaucracy is complex and in the end absolutely nothing happens, the kid just gets more and more involved in criminality, stops going to school and breaks lose from his/her family.

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

This is a very concerning issue, and it's clear that more needs to be done to address it. It's important that there are clear and efficient processes in place to support and intervene with at-risk youth before they become deeply entrenched in criminal behavior. As a teacher, it's crucial to advocate for resources and support for these students, and to work collaboratively with authorities to ensure that they receive the help they need. Additionally, it's important to provide a supportive and stable environment for these students within the school setting, to help prevent them from falling further into criminality. It's important not to give up on these students, and to continue working towards finding solutions to support them and help them make better choices for their futures.

[@NikSakPattyWack]

Where are the PARENTS? It's not the government's job to raise these kids until they're locked up in jails/prisons and then they're property of the state. The parent's need to get a very firm grip on their kids and get their a$$es in line with a quickness.

[@electricpineapple9023]

@@NikSakPattyWack well from my experience, these kids don't have both parents at home and many of the parents work night shifts so the kid is basically home alone, bored and this is how the gangs attract them.

The Bandidos were founded in Norway in 1995 during the Nordic Biker War, a conflict in which they feuded with the Hells Angels over territory and control of the drug trade. The National Criminal Investigation Service (NCIS, or Kripos) considers the Bandidos an organized criminal motorcycle club. According to figures found in the Norwegian National Police Directorate for 2014, 62% of Bandidos members in Norway had previous criminal convictions. The club has five chapters and approximately forty members in the country. The Norwegian Bandidos are affiliated with the Chicanos and X-Team and are allied with the Outlaws.

The Chinese have a term called "moral kidnapping." It's when you guilt-trip someone into doing something totally unreasonable for them for the sake of some vaguely defined morality: "How dare you not do x? If you don't you're a terrible human being!" Many Chinese consider moral kidnapping to be the Worst immoral act, because the victims are always the nicest people. Nobody will try to morally kidnap a jerk, they know they'll say no. They always go for the person who is too nice to say no. As a result, the good people suffer, either that or they need to become bad people to protect themselves.

Having lived in inner-city Stockholm for many years, I believe the segregated nature of many Swedish cities is an important factor in why this has been allowed to go on for so long. Until quite recently, if you were a well-off native Swede with a university education and an office job, you could live your entire life without even noticing the gang violence. Walk around Östermalm, Vasastan, Kungsholmen, Bromma or Lidingö - the places where politicians, academics and journalists live - and it seems unimaginable that anything like this could be happening in the same city. The swedish establishment has been able to ignore the growing gang violence epidemic because for so long it was limited to dreary, out-of-the-way planned suburbs that are physically separate from the places they live. Swedish cities, especially Stockholm, tend to develop almosr rhizomatically, with each neighborhood its own little world centered on a train station and walled off against the rest of the city by hills, forests, water and/or highways. In other words, neighborhoods don’t spill into eachother, and you don’t wander into a place by accident. Add a large population of poor immigrants and increasing social inequality, and you end up with a city made up of disjointed villages that are worlds apart. For too long, the people who have the power to change things were able to ignore the problem because despite living in the same cities, it was entirely abstract. And now that the bombings are spilling into Karlaplan and Hammarby Sjöstad, it may be too late.

@@tarqinquentinsson-obviousl957 it's not that he is believing it's spilling into other areas, it very much is. The biggest issue right now is the amount of deadly shootings taking place in better socio-economic areas. The drug-trafficking is also taking place in different areas due to gangs spreading and becoming bigger. One reason for gang violence taking place in different areas is because the police are putting more resources into controlling suburbs. Another one is also because the gangster life is romantically glorified due to the huge amount of gangster rap, which intrigues young second generation immigrants into joining gangs, even though they are well enough socio-economically. The problem is that it's disturbingly easy to get recruited into a gang. Gangs literally post simple sales jobs, courier jobs and hitjobs on snapchat/tiktok for cash.

Many would argue that Swedish politicians bear a significant responsibility for the high rates of crime and the barriers to social mobility experienced by individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds in Sweden. The country's political system, which is heavily influenced by social democracy, has implemented policies that prioritize equality and social welfare. While this has led to impressive levels of societal cohesion and a strong safety net for those in need, it has also created a system where it is incredibly difficult for individuals to break out of their predetermined social class and achieve upward mobility.

In a truly multicultural society, you have to crack down hard on crime. This is something the United States has long understood. When citizens aren't bound by a shared ethnicity, religion, language or set of cultural values and beliefs, the law has to be the "universal language" that everybody understands. Sweden is a wonderful country, but like a lot of other countries in Europe, its political leaders were wildly overconfident about Sweden's ability to integrate vast numbers of immigrants from countries where tolerance and respect for human rights and democracy are often entirely absent. The problem here isn't that Sweden hasn't been welcoming enough; the problem, in many ways, is exactly the opposite: Sweden hasn't done enough to force its immigrants to fully assimilate and accept Swedish norms.

That's why I was never super-impressed by studies touting low Swedish or German incarceration rates several decades ago, in comparison with the US. An ethnically and culturally homogeneous society is going to have less crime, almost by definition.

Sweden before immigration was one of the lowest violence/crime countries in the world, so the society he is blaming is actually the society which he has caused. Finally, he doesn't blame his son for raising a criminal. Why not? Our values are to the largest extent created by our parents. The son is probably the primary reason for the grandson's criminal destiny. This is a pure guess, but I think it likely that he doted on his son, and spoiled him.

As as a child of immigrants, i saw this problem coming long way before it happened at a young age.

Everyone were immigrants, all living these ghettos were ofcourse much poorer than everyone else, we would go to central stockholm and see children who were not from these ghettos wearing nice clothes and brands, and eating at mcdonalds and so on and we didnt understand why we couldnt be like this. Unfortunately this leads alot of children to turn out like this, the constant feeling of being outside, not included, poorer, people avoiding you when they know where you live etc. I mean its not hard, you cramp up alot of people with all different nationalities in small suburbs, with low income and alot of disadvantages you get this right here. Its a systematic problem not an immigrant problem, alot of us turned out fine, we who had focused parents and not broken homes got atleast the love from the home to do something good with our lives even through the disadvantages i met as child, as a teenager and now far into my adult life and workplace. Now when we have children we know what to do so they dont get dragged into this type of life.

[@jt3963]

⁠@@achrafelhYeah😂 but there are also lesser known drug producers and large scale dealers. There is reason why Finland attracts people to do those crimes. People are taxed according to how much they earn so it’s hard to became even a bit wealthy. Many people want to earn cash from selling drugs because of that and sentences are quite short especially if you go to prison first time.

I remember Sweden back in the 80s and 90s. Oh my gosh what a difference! If you let in troubles in the country, you will get troubles!

Well, deadly violence per capita were actually higher in Sweden during the 90s. Check the statistics before you spread lies.

Much as I have sympathy for the interviewee, he persists in speaking Turkish after a lifetime's residence in Sweden. This lack of integration that he exemplifies has resulted in the establishment of a separate society within the country that is very distant from Scandinavia in terms of outlook, values and aspirations. Unfortunately, we are now past the point of no return for Sweden, France, Germany etc., as the only effective solutions would be too unpalatable to be implemented by politicians who have no motivation to act in their countries' long-term interests. Having visited Sweden decades ago when it was a near-utopian society, these developments are truly heartbreaking.

I'm 22, and even when I was younger never thought about committing crimes let alone murder. Even now that I'm an adult I'm still just at home most of the time enjoying my time online with friends. Sure I wanna make money but I wanna do it the legit way.

As a German I have to say sorry for this biased news reports. We all know the problem and it shouldn't be a problem to speak it out directly.

[@owindustry]

the root-cause of this problem is the international drug trade which involves the network of mafia and politicians all around the world especially from US. Mafia recruits the most vulnerable, poor youngsters all around the world. So this is an issue that Sweden can not tackle only by itself.

[@owindustry]

majority of the immigrants are peaceful like %99 but you only focus on %1 of problematic people and try to punish all of them.

These are issues facing all western countries, now. The social changes that occur in the west are complex, but as we only see patterns of large scale migration happening in one direction, these problems are uniquely ours to solve. Thank you DW for this excellent piece.

Sweden has to understand that some people don't learn unless they are faced with severe consequences, stop giving murderers comforts like iPads and communication or they will never fear the consequences.

Homicide rate is still low in many European countries. It's because most citizens don't take advantage of soft laws

[@themostUNlikelyCreature]

Countries might consider bringing back the death sentence and see if crime lowers. Let’s pay police more than politicians and see if it changes. Let’s stop attending and supporting for government run schools and put our children drastically in private schools.
