The article just says that the numbers are the worst ever for Sweden. But how bad? Is it 1.1x, 2x, or 10x worse than five years ago? How do the crime numbers compare to other European countries? To US?
None of this context is there.
- paddim8 3y agoAccording to this, murders are about the same as 30 years ago: https://bra.se/statistik/statistik-om-brottstyper/mord-och-drap.html https://bra.se/statistik/statistik-om-brottstyper/mord-och-d...
- Jensson 3y agoThey changed the definition, that is why. The number of reported murders are twice as high today as back then. Dotted line is reported murders to compare like to like: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Fatal_violence_in_Sweden.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f9/Fatal_vi...

- TrickyRick 3y agoAccording to that same page the trend is also moving worryingly upwards (Utvecklingen sedan 1990). So to answer the OP's question (Instead of trying to cheat by answering a completely different question) it's about 2x worse now than 10 years ago. The fact that we were once on this level before is completely irrelevant.
