Sweden reports highest number of murders in fifteen years. Well, well, it appears the European panacea is falling upon its face. Looks like their gun control is too.
Several crime categories showed a large increase: There were 7,370 rapes in 2017 an increase of 10 percent over 2016. The number of murders was the highest since 2002 when Brå started measuring crime statistics.
Firearms were used in more than one third (35 per cent) of the reported murders. The number of murders with firearms increased from 30 to 40.
