A new report from Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) in Brussels shows that two out of three murders in Sweden are committed by people with immigrant backgrounds.
The report, titled "Multiculturalism in Flames" and is written by sociologist Göran Adamson, points to a sharp overrepresentation of foreign-born people in violent crime statistics.
Between 2013 and 2017, about two-thirds of the murders, the attempted murder and the manslaughter in Sweden were committed by immigrants or children of immigrants.
In addition, the number of shootings per capita in Stockholm is 30 times higher than in London, and the number of bombings has increased sharply in recent years. In 2023, Sweden suffered nine times as many fatal shootings as Finland, Denmark and Norway together, the report, based on public statistics.
Foreign-born people are 2.5 times more likely to be registered as a suspect for crimes compared to those born in Sweden with both parents born in Sweden. For people born in Sweden with two foreign-born parents, the probability is over three times higher than those with Swedish-born parents.
Sweden, which has previously been known for its cultural cohesion, has, according to the report, been heavily affected by extensive immigration. The report warns that the Swedish open borders policy has helped to create divisions instead of unity and proposes a rethink of the country's policy. Göran Adamson recommends, among other things, that Sweden should recognize "the failure of multiculturalism" and introduce measures to strengthen law and order, including by dealing with the so-called vulnerable areas.
The report also emphasises the importance of promoting social cohesion through shared values and an open social climate where immigration-related issues can be discussed without fear of social or political consequences.
