First, to claim that there's a taboo on discussing these issues is ridiculous on its face when it's discussed pretty much every day in every newspaper. You just don't like when people disagree with you that crime is linked to immigration. That link is far from proven. In fact, in the US it's pretty clear that crime does not increase when refugees arrive; if anything it goes down: http://www.citylab.com/crime/2017/02/refugee-resettlement-v-crime/516471/ http://www.citylab.com/crime/2017/02/refugee-resettlement-v-...
I'm not aware of any similar research in Sweden, which is a pity.
I watched Tim Pool's reporting on how media "skews crine statistics" and thought it was pretty good. I would just add that while it's true that some types of crime have increased in the last year or two, we'll have to wait a few more years to know if that's a trend or a natural fluctuation.
Homework assignment for tomorrow: what was the effect on violent crime rates in Sweden of the mass arrival of predominantly muslim refugees from the Balkans in the 1990s?
