A maximum of 4 years for homicide just seems completely insane even if its teenagers.

[@Mihail2204]

That’s if they’re below 16, so they’re literally children that can’t really grasp what the consequences of such a violent act are because they’ve been groomed into that, if they’re 16-17 they’ll get charged as an adult and being in a gang would give you extra time(I can’t remember if this “gang=more time” was in Sweden or Denmark)

I think it's amusing how you support a 16 years old going to prison, while advocating that a 15 years and 10 months old is just a misunderstood child. Do you think 2 months make a difference? Your rational is stupid. There should be no age requirements when it comes to murder. If you intentionally kill someone you should face the same punishment no matter if you are 14 or 40.

During the data analysis, Lund University researchers found that out of 3,039 offenders included in the study, 59.2 percent were immigrants, of whom nearly half were born outside of Sweden. The report made waves in a country were mapping criminals' ethnicity has long been considered unethical.”

As someone who has lived 50 years in Stockholm I have never been the victim of a crime. The drug gangs are recruting teengagers in special care. We now heear they expanded to Norway and TARGET institutions with teenagers (not just prisons but care homes, mental care, spcial schools etc). These people are no joke. A drugged up 15 year old with mental ilness being led to vitims by older by drug gangers (also arming them) is not somone that should carry a gun. Trust me the least scary part is if he has dark skin or speaks a foreing language...

I live in sweden. I can tell you its definitely not the lack of welfare thats causing this. Furthermore, you cant get immigrants out of these vulnerable zones just because of the sheer amount of immigrants in the area. You can just find your little community from your home country in these areas and you lose the incentive to partake in the broader swedish culture.

[@mrnygren2]

[@Snake369]

of course it's not a lack of welfare. It's not native swedes committing these crimes.

[@vignotum132]

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

[@Coco111s2]

Did i hear that right? Only 20% of murders get solved. How the heck is it that low in a modern developed society.

[@kobusvanrensburg4092]

Same here in South Africa. 70+ murders per day, with a 15-20% conviction rate.

[@ElectrostatiCrow]

@@kobusvanrensburg4092 Well the police don't care.

[@Fuhrerjehova]

"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.

[@lawrnc]

That's the whole problem! Migrants, politicians and welfare get blamed. But the problem is in policing. Police force in Sweden is probably not good dealing with organised crime and laws in Sweden (often super strict) keep them busy with petty crime

[@fajaradi1223]

In case of gangs shoot out, neither the victim or the perpetrator will admit/confess that they were a gang member.

[@Solus147]

Immigrants, regardless where they come from, should make an effort to integrate, not the other way around. Countries should focus mainly on their own citizens, not make special accommodations for immigrants who don't respect the law.

[@azahel542]

This is how things should be, but when you take immigrants only for the sake of looking virtuous, it's just a "bring in and forget". Activists and politicians always forget that these people need housing, food, jobs, a decent life. When they do remember it is when they go there to provide them with a fish for a day for likes and votes.

[@LazyLifeIFreak]

I couldn't agree more.

[@GustafLUX]

Well said!

[@MarioLanzas.]

they do make the effort, when the state guide them. There's a big difference in the Netherlands between the morrocan guetos (product of bad immigration management decades ago) and the more recent syrian refugees, much better integrated . 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. Sweden made the same mistake the Dutch made decades ago with the Moroccans.

@@longiusaescius2537Idk about appalachia but sweden is a prime example for what i said. (Kinda surprised you bring it up when you dont even know the details) Sweden had a extremly good welfare state but from late 1990 onward they reduced it more and more. The current criminal activities are mainly centered in the low income areas. Children have basically no future because of the structures and the difficultues they face because the integration and support for immigrants failed completly. This is prime ground clans to recruit young children. This also gave rise to the right wing in sweden accelerating the process of reducing welfare and increasing inequalty which also increases crime activities.

Its weird that petty crime is not growing while murder is. Like there is a fair bit of research that seems to link poor economic conditions to crime but normally that's petty crime, like theft. Not murder.

[@Mosern1977]

Who bothers reporting those petty crimes anyways. Swedish police barely manages to investigate murders. Just cross the border, in Norway - police has like 100% murder solving rate (no unsolved murders for over a decade). Sweden is a shitshow in Scandinavia, and there hasn't been a lack of warnings over the years.

[@spacemanke3814]

Sweden's problems are not caused by poor economic conditions. They are caused by a youth-culture that idolizes gangsters. Especially among young immigrants. Your comment proves the point.

[@lawrnc]

As someone who lives in Stockholm, I'd suggest that the panic about crime has led to a crackdown that targeted mostly petty crime, as it is most easy to target. So that could be a reason why petty crime is in check.

[@DruidEnjoyer]

People get quite generous welfare without many strings attached, so people aren't stealing for food/minor conveniences.

If you're a dealer also claiming welfare, where's the incentive to stop earning on both ends?

[@-haclong2366]

In the Netherlands it's extremely common for people to both have welfare and have full time black jobs, these people have more to spend than those with only one of either.

[@SusCalvin]

Economic crime exists. People in organized crime don't mind setting up semi-legal or legal companies. A welfare check is not a lot of money, but an entire little service company makes a lot more. I don't know if it's an entirely similar example, but it reminded me of how the mafia runs garbage services in Naples. Garbage services are not illegal themselves, but they can skimp on the service to give themselves a higher margin.

I'm not Swedish, but I firmly believe that if you want to immigrate to a nation, that is completely fine, this world was made for humans to live, BUT in the condition that you obey that country's system and try your best to fully assimilate yourself to that country. 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.

I'm a legal immigrant in Germany and I've been living here since I was 4 years old (more than a decade). I'm not a citizen (I can speak German and I'm studying while my parents both work), for me it is hard to be a citizen in Germany while I'm MANY, when I mean many I really mean many, illegal immigrants getting citizenship even tho they can't speak German or anything. Idk how they were able to do so, but I think it's also unfair to many legal immigrants who worked hard to live here and are still giving their best. I've met many legal immigrants who have been living here decades and yet they are still not citizens

[@soldatox3019]

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.

Sweden democrats are the ones who are being wrongfully accused of being far right. 90% of their proposed policies have been enacted by either Finland or Denmark. If you want to call Sweden democrats Far right you must call Denmark and Finland Far right countries too.

[@slavianalbanovich9025]

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.

[@mailbox1518]

Finland: According to a study done by Martti Lehti et al. (2014), 28 percent of the suspects for crimes associated with rape were first generation immigrants while second generation immigrants formed a little less than 1 percent. The number of crimes per immigrant who lives in Finland is almost eight times as high as that of native Finns when looking at rape related crimes. It was also stated that the immigrants originating from Africa and Middle East commit the highest levels of crimes, with the level being seventeen times as high as that of native Finns. The offenses committed by the immigrant groups most often target the natives of the area.

The migrants who have been socialized differently and often violently in their home country go to Europe and bring with them their mental baggage. Because of the big bad word “racism” it is unacceptable to criticize them and the blame of high crime rates between migrants is way too often shifted onto the welcoming host society. But integration is mostly the responsibility of migrants, if you don’t even put in the effort to properly learn the host-country’s language, how can you ever advance and become a functioning member of society? Also, migrants and refugees seem to move to Europe and expect to see gold bars raining from the sky, as soon as they realize that you (obviously) cannot expect an easy and carefree life as a poor immigrant in a culturally very different country they too often turn to crime. How is it the host society’s responsibility that migrants are poorer than the average citizen? If I moved to Japan right now without learning japanese and unable to find a proper job, how is this Japan’s fault? It’s my fault for having too high expectations and putting in too little effort Like, how can you migrate to a much more wealthy country without qualifications, no social circle, no knowledge of their language and no ambition and expect not to be poor?

Well, it only matters to the host country insofar as what the consequences are if they don't. Personally, I prefer my crime rates not to go up, and for less of my city to house slums. So I'm all for putting resources in front of migrant communities to ensure they integrate and learn the language. City planning to ensure that they integrate with the local community rather than clump up in isolated communes. Maybe even have tiered systems where learning the language is incentivized by the system? Incorperate it in to whatever system that's aimed at impoverished areas in the first place while you're at it. Because its like adopting a kid or a pet. Maybe it was a good idea to adopt, maybe it wasn't (and many people will have strong opinions here). But now that you've taken them in, you actually need to potty train them if you don't wan't piss and shit all over your nice carpets, and that is a much more immediate problem to solve.

The reason this is considered 'racist' is that immigrants don't commit more crimes than natives. Instead, they are more likely to be poor and poor people do more crime.

They don't need jobs, don't need to learn swedish, don't have swedish associates and do not become Swedish. It was also a very poorly thought out and shortsighted move from when the left were in power how to house these new arrivals. Massive housing building projects were created and finished. Then these areas were almost entirely filled with foreign families, creating massive communities with only foreign families and then promptly abandoned by the state to be cared for by the local government who now had to try and organize all the teaching, all the welfare, all the unemployment, and all the upkeep of these areas.

Australia has adequate infrastructure and resources to handle and welcome new immigrants while Sweden lets them in and dumps them in ghettoes where they remain unemployed and form gangs. You only need to look at Afghans in both countries. Afghans in Australia are incredibly hard working, they run small businesses, are assets to their local communities and stay out of trouble. In contrast I've only heard bad things about Afghans in Sweden. This is why immigrants flourish and integrate very well in Australia while Sweden struggles to integrate new arrivals.

Swedes and other leftist strongholds have long lost the plot. Whitewashing terrorists Islamists like it’s their job while their societies collapse to the genocidal invasion of jihadists. A disaster of their own making

[@jw841]

I lived in Sweden for a bit in my experience they are some of the most morally naive and arrogant people I've ever met anywhere. They truely believe they are morally superior to other people and that Sweden is some kind of humanitarian superpower. In my opinion the Swedes actually deserve the misery they are creating for themselves. Theres a bit of karma to it as well. They are like dodos and are too naive or stupid for long term survival. I think Sweden will become an Islamic state in my life time.

Also, most Australian immigrants are East Asians and Western immigrants that go there for education

You spoke to one Swede on the internet. That's a very small sample size.

[@Mic_Glow]

Was the "approval" survey done on native population or everyone? Because if it was a general survey, actual approval among native Swedes is even lower...

[@mustarastas88]

Irrelevant, this is like saying they should only poll nazis and right wingers.

[@ticktockbam]

​@@mustarastas88He's saying that they should ALSO poll nazis and right-wingers. You don't get to pick the group you're polling because you feel like they're gonna give you the specifical answer that confirms your bias and call it a day. Every single individual matters. Cherry-picking just obfuscates reality and warps it into a bastardization of what it really is, just to meet your political agenda.

[@spanishball9449]

I'm Spanish and this video really hits home. We have a lot of Moroccan immigrants and since then crime has risen a lot and also they don't even make the slightest effort to integrate. Matter of fact most of them are hostile towards Spanish people and culture. Also, they get a lot of aid from the government which makes them even better off than the average Spaniard. Also in today's society you can't really speak up about this issue because you'll be viewed as racist.

[@MB-em9ek]

It is always surprising to see this happening in Spain, especially given that Spain was under the occupation of the Ottoman Empire for centuries. It should be logical that Spaniards are fundamentally against mass immigration from North Africa. Our governments are traitors to our countries.

[@Tarquin2718]

Yes same here in NL. First we stopped them from integrating with multiCulti in the 80's and 90's now it is horrible and no way back, muslims here are even more conservative than their counterparts in their own countries because of Saoedi Arabian Salafism 😢 So friggin stupid.

[@emsee90210]

ignoring the problem will only make it worse... you need to start loving yourselves more than others

[@cianmcguire5647]

I think a pragmatic of this issue is that decreasing government expenditure and increasing the population is obviously a terrible idea. Neo-liberalism has clearly failed the West in general. Social integration among society as a whole is also failing as a result. Migrants are then trapped in between.

[@dimasinchuk6219]

There should be stricter policies to integration for those who seek asylum or refugee status. It’s crucial that they learn native language, go to colleges, learn laws and constitutional rights. Otherwise if they refuse to, then it’s their bad decision and deportation is a must.

[@eltecnico9541]

They are poorer but at a social level they are more egalitarian, on the other hand, Western European countries have a higher gini coefficient, this means that wealth is distributed more unequally, one group monopolizes most of the wealth through the rest is much poorer, it is a typical characteristic of underdeveloped countries but new in modern Europe

[@eltecnico9541]

@@Ge0rGi. Hamas talks about development, talks about inequality, the gini coefficient is an indicator for measuring inequality, not poverty, a country can be highly developed and at the same time have a high gini coefficient, as in the case of the USA, This is what has been happening in Western European countries, many of these countries have up to 10 times more GDP than Eastern European countries, but the income of the average citizen is much lower.
