The situation is terrible. From what I’ve understood from reading the news past year is that the police has lost control over Malmö (Sweden’s third largest city that got hit with the most immigrant applications) to organised criminals and the inhabitants who can afford it are moving away quickly.
The right-wing party Sverigedemokraterna is hence growing stronger while the current ruling socialist party Socialdemokraterna is losing voters inversely as a result.

- nabla9 7y agoMalmö is called the most dangerous city in the Nordic countries. In last few years it has had murder rate close to New York. New York has had lowest murder rate in 50 years and it's considered safe city. According to a 2015 ranking of 50 cities by The Economist, New York was the 10th overall safest major city in the world, as well as the 28th safest in personal safety[1]. I suppose many New Yorkers can sympathize with people Malmö because they know what it's to live in constant fear when the police has lost the control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_New_York_City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_New_York_City
- pandaman 7y agoCrime in large cities is not evenly distributed. You can leave your car unlocked in one neighborhood and you will regret stopping at the light with an open window in another. Malmo's population is only 300K according to Wiki. It's smaller than the smallest borough of the NYC. I imagine its residents do not enjoy nearly as much insulation from the crime areas as Newyorkers do.
