"The beatings will continue until morale improves". Crime in cities is seriously over reported. Any concentration of population will have higher total crime, particularly if there's poverty. Relieve the poverty, improve the education, crime drops.

      Sorry, I should have been more clear. Was looking for a citation for the claim that the Oslo police avoid investigations of serious crimes in an effort to underreport crimes from non-white immigrants.

  I've seen no explicit mention in any sources that police in Oslo actively avoid policing serious crimes due to fear of accusations of racism. Going from that to "Non-white crime is under-reported" is a huge leap and contradicts some other well known facts For instance you might be aware that research has shown that non-white individuals are disproportionately subjected to stop-and-search police stops, which you would think should mechanically lead to higher recorded crime rates among these groups

  A flat out racist lie in service of the fascist wave. What is this even doing here?
