  It may be that number of crimes is not increasing, but it’s a different kind than in previous decades. Shootouts in public, violent and humiliation-robberies, and gang rapes.

    Yes, pre-covid, while the crime rates was going down across all european countries, violent crimes seemed to be going up. However, said violent crimes are a lot more restricted in both location and target than it was in the 80s and 90s and look a lot like crime pre-WW1, without the anarchists and socials justifications behind (or maybe people are not as well politically educated than they were in the 1900s). I'm pretty sure gang rape however should just be about media not knowing what to talk about, violent sexual crimes on strangers only decreased in decades pre-covid.

  15 crimes per 100 people is a lot higher than I'd have expected for that stat. Probably it contains a large number of crimes that are minor or petty so don't attract notice. The surge in crime people mean when referring to Sweden is this sort of thing: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50339977 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50339977
