Sweden’s murder rate is less than a fifth of the murder rate in the United States.
It seems like their policies do go a big way to solve the problem, as infeasible as they appear to be for the USA.
- wkat4242 4y agoYou can't compare murder rates in the US with Sweden. They have a real welfare system, diminishing social inequalities and with that the feeding ground for crime.

- rgmerk 4y agoSounds like a great idea… …but it’s also worth pointing out that murder rates are also a lot lower than the US in other developed countries that don’t have Scandinavian levels of welfare transfers.
- wkat4242 4y agoThe other developed countries still have much lower income differences between rich and poor than the US though. I think this is a bigger contributor to US crime levels than its gun policy. Also, I don't understand the focus on murder rates. Compare all violent crime at least.
