"normal" murders usually gets solved. The ones were someone kills his ex girlfriend, beats someone he knows to death etc etc. Those kinds of murders are in decline as well. But gang murders carried out in immigrant areas will usually not have anyone who want to testify (which is reasonable, they can end up dead), and no one involved in the conflict will talk to the police. The DA can't negotiate with criminals regarding punishment either, so the state can't offer any insscentive to rat. Swedish institutions were built to handle an extremely homogen nation state with strong cultural checks on behaviour. They were not built to handle american style multi culturalism with visble racial minorities that gets segregated and adopt different value systems from the rest of society.

Exactly. The segregation is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, I think this is going in the right direction, following the decrease of immigration it will probably become more diluted in the long run due to simple diffusion. This is especially the case if we work actively against segregation, which is not impossible The problem is that the toxic immigrant subculture can suck up new working immigrants, or harshen the policies so much they dampen this important immigration. This working-class immigration is extremely important due to the failing fertility rates

But this is human behavior, we have to live with, China town, Little Italy in New york as well, as Rinkeby as little Somalia. Swedes in Spain, or thailand always gather in their community's, lets say 70-80%. Rest want to try something new, and do not hang out with thier own, it's very difficult by human rights to forcibly move people away from eachother. Though you could and I think its good, that people might have to live and get help in the beginning in a certain area of Sweden, They cannot choose their living area when they are seeking asylum as an ex. And we swedes need to be more welcoming as well, the last 15 years I seen, it come back again the situaion that we had ALOT of in the 90is, people not wanting any immigrant to live in thier "swedish area", how in the hell are they then able to integrqate. Its impossible to integrate without the general population helping them to.

This can include learning their language, appreciating and observing their culture, being able to mix with the people of that country, respecting their laws and most importantly proving oneself useful to the country (like doing a good job that country can appreciate). If you cannot respect the country which welcomes you with open arms and gives you citizenship or PR, then you should not be their in the first place and chose your own home country or the 200 other countries available on Earth, if doing simple things like this is so hard for you.

[@anyuan3040]

Yes, sadly nowadays, this sentiment is twisted in countries like France, Switzerland or Belgium to site a few, they twisted it into something like assimilation=abandonning your own culture, when in reality it doesn't have to be but sadly more and more laws are being implemented against other people's cultures and religious rights (Like the abaya ban for example in France which litteraly forces young girls to take off some of their clothes and uncover parts of their bodies they don't want to show, just to be accepted at school) which also hurt legal immigrants and even actual French people who chose to become Muslims. Your view is great but sadly governement always take it to the extreme or even use this issue as political stunts to get themselves elected. Ultimately, I think that countries that don't want immigrants or don't want to deal with them nor know how, should stop taking them in completely, this is the only way things get resolved.

The difference is that the later were provided tools like language learning, professional education and well distributed housing. The Moroccans didn't have that, so generations of them are growing in guettos that feel alienated from the rest of the poblation The problem is never immigration itself, but how it's managed.

Here in Italy we have been dealing with the Mafia from time immemorial, and they too like to use minors to commit crimes and homicides. But let me tell you that longer sentences did not help in stopping or limiting organized crime. Gangs and such don't send minors to commit crimes just because they get shorter sentences, but also because it's a form of initiation in the gang and to not get senior members directly involved. What the Swedish government should do is focus on fighting the gangs as organizations rather than focusing on their individual members, like being arrestable simply for being linked to organized crime even if there isn't any direct link to some concrete crime, or protecting and rewarding gang members that turn against their own gang in favor of the law. The last exemple helped us Italians in weakening and even destroying some mafia groups, and even if the Mafia problem today is far from solved and some groups are still powerful, organized crime as a whole is less violent than the past. This is only one side of an issue that obviously requires and multilateral approach, but on regards of legal rulings and law I believe that these options would be better to fight sweeds criminal gangs.

I don't know, I'm not so sure that Italy has been so successful in fighting the Mafia, it could be, on the contrary, that there are implicit agreements whereby if the Mafia avoids showing too much violence then the law is willing to close a watch out, or the mafia has changed its modus operandi to be less attackable, this would also explain why the 'Ndrangheta is the most powerful organisation, precisely because it avoids the type of violent crime that instead characterizes the Camorra or Cosa Nostra.

All in all, Sweden is among the best countries in terms of liveability (quality of life). HOWEVER, just like in the US and Latin America, there are certain areas that are unsafe because they are effectively outside the control of the Swedish government. Meaning that they are like tiny countries within Sweden, ruled by warlords. Police, ambulances and firefighters refuse to enter those areas, so the local inhabitants there are left to fend for themselves. The people living there are sometimes forced to pay "taxes" (=extortion) to the local rulers. But as long as you avoid those areas, you can have a fantastic time in Sweden.

Sweden has done more than enough to integrate its foreign citizens. In fact, no country in the world does more than Sweden: Free school to teach migrants the Swedish language (SFI, SAS, etc.)... free social welfare during the integration years (an unemployed migrant gets housed and fed while learning Swedish); special employment programs to integrate migrants in the work market, etc. How could Sweden "do more to integrate their migrants" exactly?

[@peterfireflylund]

A real answer? Give them less free money, preferably none at all. Send them home if they misbehave. In other words: let actions have consequences and let good actions (integration) have good consequences and bad actions (crime, Islamism) have bad consequences.

[@idomaghic]

The "special employment programs to integrate migrants" have not been widespread and mostly symbolic; the average time for a refugee to enter the labour market is somewhere around 7-9 years, due to strong unions causing the barriers to enter very high. Allow any refugee to work outside of the unions collective agreements while maintaining their benefits (as long as the salary is below some certain limit) and the time to enter the labour market would drastically reduce, and gangs would lose a large pool of potential recruits.

But at the same time, I also think it's valuable to expand the police, give them more resources to do their jobs & crack down harder on really extreme offenses (though I'm not sure I'd go as far as the Right-wing coalition).

Gini coefficient is a terrible way to indicate wealth inequality. countries with a strong social safety net get very high Gini because it of its limitations. its honestly so bad that its amazing seeing journalists and economist still using it, you should feel bad a stupid for having done so.

So I had a colleague once who’s boyfriend from Qatar was a criminal smuggling and selling illegal firearms, in and our of jail. I asked once why he did not go clean and just work like the rest of us. She said he would laugh at the question, that once he came home with €100K In a bag, he drives a nice car, sometimes he spends a few years in prison but it’s like a holiday for him, and then he is out again and can keep living in luxury, and she asked “would he give up all that for cleaning toilets or something?”.

I hope both are deported and banned for life. Islamist leeches living off of western society. Not surprising he comes from the genocidal Qatar that murders slave workers on a daily basis and funds terrorists worldwide.

That's how it is. It's not profitable to work as a regular worker anymore. I don't blame criminals for doing this stuff.

This is not rocket science! Groups of immigrants that come from a completely different world and have nothing in common with Swedish society will never be able or willing to integrate and instead form a parallel society with its own laws and norms. Just as an example, What do Somalis and Swedes have in common?

Even if Sweden does not allow any migrants to enter after that, in a couple of decades the migrants and their descendants will be the majority in the country. Western Europe will be shocked that they should have listened to Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán. Unfortunately, the Western leaders instead cursed Orbán. It was a pity.
