Police in Sweden accused of hushing up asylum seeker assaults at festival

Police in Sweden have been accused of hushing up a series of sexual assaults by asylum seekers at Europe’s largest teen pop festival, with one senior officer saying police wanted to avoid “playing into the hands” of the anti-immigration Sweden Democrat party.The scandal, which followed the leak of an internal memo to the DN newspaper, is the latest in a ripple effect seen across Europe following the sexual assaults allegedly carried out by asylum seekers in the German city of Cologne on New Year’s Eve.According to Sweden’s Dagens Nyheter newspaper, from the very first day of We are Sthlm, a free festival held last August for 13-19 year olds, police were aware of gangs of young Afghan men surrounding and sexually harassing girls. The 2014 event had seen a similar wave of assaults, the paper said.

The more they hush these things up, the more people will speak out about it. I'm tired of hearing about this pussyfooting around just because the alleged perpetrators are supposedly "victims".

Sweden is now the rape capital of Europe thanks to immigrants!!!

Not it is not Tommy, they record differently to every other country how they record sexual offenses
For example if the same person has raped the same woman 10 times, that is counted as 10 seperate crimes, where as the rest of Europe would count that as one crime committed multiple times.

Like I say they record crime differently, which you need to understand Tommy.
Going off a video not understanding this is why you have come to the wrong conclusion
I would add there is far more rapes in this country than there is in Sweden

https://youtu.be/diWlAulVfns

Is it true? Yes. The Swedish police recorded the highest number of offences - about 63 per 100,000 inhabitants - of any force in Europe, in 2010. The second-highest in the world.

This was three times higher than the number of cases in the same year in Sweden's next-door neighbour, Norway, and twice the rate in the United States and the UK. It was more than 30 times the number in India, which recorded about two offences per 100,000 people.

On the face of it, it would seem Sweden is a much more dangerous place than these other countries. But that is a misconception, according to Klara Selin, a sociologist at the National Council for Crime Prevention in Stockholm. She says you cannot compare countries' records, because police procedures and legal definitions vary widely.

"In Sweden there has been this ambition explicitly to record every case of sexual violence separately, to make it visible in the statistics," she says.
"So, for instance, when a woman comes to the police and she says my husband or my fiance raped me almost every day during the last year, the police have to record each of these events, which might be more than 300 events. In many other countries it would just be one record - one victim, one type of crime, one record."

The thing is, the number of reported rapes has been going up in Sweden - it's almost trebled in just the last seven years. In 2003, about 2,200 offences were reported by the police, compared to nearly 6,000 in 2010.
So something's going on.
But Klara Selin says the statistics don't represent a major crime epidemic, rather a shift in attitudes. The public debate about this sort of crime in Sweden over the past two decades has had the effect of raising awareness, she says, and encouraging women to go to the police if they have been attacked. The police have also made efforts to improve their handling of cases, she suggests, though she doesn't deny that there has been some real increase in the number of attacks taking place - a concern also outlined in an Amnesty International report in 2010.

"There might also be some increase in actual crime because of societal changes. Due to the internet, for example, it's much easier these days to meet somebody, just the same evening if you want to. Also, alcohol consumption has increased quite a lot during this period."But the major explanation is partly that people go to the police more often, but also the fact that in 2005 there has been reform in the sex crime legislation, which made the legal definition of rape much wider than before."

If I punch somebody and the person eventually dies, some countries can consider that as an intentional murder, others as a manslaughterEnrico Bisogno, UN statistician

The change in law meant that cases where the victim was asleep or intoxicated are now included in the figures. Previously they'd been recorded as another category of crime. So an on-the-face-of-it international comparison of rape statistics can be misleading.
Botswana has the highest rate of recorded attacks - 92.9 per 100,000 people - but a total of 63 countries don't submit any statistics, including South Africa, where a survey three years ago showed that one in four men questioned admitted to rape.

In 2010, an Amnesty International report highlighted that sexual violence happens in every single country, and yet the official figures show that some countries like Hong Kong and Mongolia have zero cases reported.
Evidently, women in some countries are much less likely to report an attack than in others and are much less likely to have their complaint recorded.

UN statistician Enrico Bisogno says surveys suggest that as few as one in 10 cases are ever reported to the police, in many countries.
"We often present the situation as kind of an iceberg where really what we can see is just the tip while the rest is below the sea level. It remains below the radar of the law enforcement agencies," he says.
Naomi Wolf has also written that Sweden has the lowest conviction rate in Europe.

She was relying on statistics from a nine-year-old report, which calculated percentage conviction rates based on the number of offences recorded by the police and the number of convictions. But this is a problematic way of analysing statistics, as several offences could be committed by one person.


The United Nations holds official statistics on the number of convictions for rape per 100,000 people and actually, by that measure, Sweden has the highest number of convictions per capita in Europe, bar Russia. In 2010, 3.7 convictions were achieved per 100,000 population.
Though it's still the case, as Wolf pointed out to the BBC, that women in Sweden report a high number of offences - and only a small number of rapists are punished.

So there's a lot that official statistics don't tell us. They certainly don't reveal the real number of rapes that happen in Sweden, or any other country. And they don't give a clear view of which countries have worse crime rates than others. Rape is particularly complex, but you'd think it would be straightforward to analyse murder rates across different countries - just count up the dead bodies, and compare and contrast.
If only, says Enrico Bisogno. "For example, if I punch somebody and the person eventually dies, some countries can consider that as an intentional murder, others as a manslaughter. Or in some countries, dowry killings are coded separately because there is separate legislation."

What's more, a comparison of murder rates between developed and less developed countries may tell you as much about health as crime levels, according to Professor Chris Lewis, a criminologist from Portsmouth University in the UK. The statistics are to some unknown degree complicated by the fact that you're more likely to survive an attack in a town where you're found quickly and taken to a hospital that's well-equipped.

Yes you are showing the same thiong over and over again.
Like I say the reason that the stats are different is they are recorded differently. What you should concern yoursellf more over is how in this coun try rape is fundementally unrecorded and it is a huge problem.

Anyway the story is significant of the problems with asylum seekers of those who come from cultural backgrounds where they think women are property, of that I believe is a massive issue, but making a poor pathetic racial argument onto where we already do have problems with rape with westerners is downplaying the whole issue of rape itself

The truth is clear to all!

Is it Tommy, I know your warped views, but people are speaking of a cultural issue,l which does need tackling, you though seem to use as an excuse to promote your racial views, which I find tedious to be honest

Listen Dodge you bellend... over 3 quarters of the rapes in Sweden are carried out by Muslim immigrant men who make up just 2 % of the population!!!


Twist and lie all you want but the facts speak for themselves!

Twist and lie all you want but the facts speak for themselves!

Are they? Or are you going off again poor stats?
Calling me infantile names does not make or reason your points any better.
So I am not lying the Swedes do configure their information far different as explained already.
Again nobody is not denying there is a problem with how we are letting people in and how we vet them and how their certainly is a cultural problemw with how some men, not all some men view women as property, but if all your evidence is one country to make your case, then it is at best pathetic, as you would need to see this repeated in countless countries the same.

It is happening in other countries.


And stop bullshitting about stats... the crimes are reported and counted and they show a very stark truth!

I suggest you pipie down and put up or shut up, as your claims so far have been poor and unfounded.

Tommy rocks and is right.

Has already happund here, Bradford, Barnsley, Bolton, Rochdale and so on.

Best you stop using such derogative language or you will end up in the basement, that is just some friendly advise.
Second it is clear you have no comprehension of the problem of rape in this country when you centre on some of the problem, which I find appalling really.

Saying you agree with someone without evidence is poor to say the least.

Here are some key statistics about sexual violence:
 

• Approximately 85,000 women and 12,000 men are raped in England and Wales alone every year; that's roughly 11 rapes (of adults alone) every hour
  
• Nearly half a million adults are sexually assaulted in England and Wales each year
  
• 1 in 5 women aged 16 - 59 has experienced some form of sexual violence since the age of 16
  
• Only around 15% of those who experience sexual violence choose to report to the police
  
• Approximately 90% of those who are raped know the perpetrator prior to the offence
  

These figures come from An Overview of Sexual Offending in England and Wales, the first ever joint official statistics bulletin on sexual violence released by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ), Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Home Office in January 2013.
 
Download the full report, a summary and/or the data tables for more information.
 
As well as this:
 

• 31% of young women aged 18-24 report having experienced sexual abuse in childhood (NSPCC, 2011) 
  
• In 2012-13, 22,654 sexual offences against under-18s were reported to police in England and Wales with four out of five cases involving girls (NSPCC, 2014)
  
• Most women in the UK do not have access to a Rape Crisis Centre (Map of Gaps, 2007)
  
• A third of people believe women who flirt are partially responsible for being raped (Amnesty, 2005)
  
• Conviction rates for rape are far lower than other crimes, with only 5.7% of reported rape cases ending in a conviction for the perpetrator. (Kelly, Lovett and Regan, A gap or a chasm? Attrition in reported rape cases, 2005)
  

Rape Crisis England & Wales headline statistics 2014-15:

• Rape Crisis member organisations across England and Wales responded to 165,000 helpline calls in the 12 months to 31st March 2015, an average over 3,000 a week
  
• Over 50,000 individuals received an on-going Rape Crisis service(s), an increase of 50% over the last two years
  
• Rape Crisis members provided in excess of 300,000 sessions of specialist support, including advocacy, emotional support, counselling
  
• 94 per cent of all service users were female.
  
• Three-quarters of all adult service users contacted Rape Crisis about sexual violence that occurred at least 12 months earlier; 47% were adult survivors of child sexual abuse
  
• Over half of the individuals that contact Rape Crisis prefer to self-refer, a pattern which has remained consistent over the past five years and continues to demonstrate the necessity for funded independent services
  
• Where age is known, those aged under 24 represented 25% of service users and 1,500 were aged 15 or under
  
• Where ethnicity is known, 23% of Rape Crisis services users were black or minority ethnic
  
• The Rape Crisis England & Wales website received nearly 12 million hits during the year; there was an average of 36,631 unique visitors to the site per month, up 23% from 2013-14
  
• Whilst the use of email support by service users has increased by 45% over the last 12 months there has been a loss of advocacy services due to local commissioning processes

Please present this as well as all western countries so we can then analyze your claim, which you did make and of which of now you have yet to produce any evidence on.

Anyone can Google sweden rape statistics and see for themselves why they are now the rape capital of Europe. .. and Muslims are responsible for this massive level!

Which oddly enough you cannot post the offical stats from Sweden

I can of course help you if you like Tommy, as do you not know where to find them?

A note on making international comparisons

Crime statistics are influenced by both legal and statistical factors, and by the extent to which crime is reported and registered. These factors can vary from one country to another. There are no international standards for how crime statistics should be produced and presented and this makes international comparisons difficult.
The legal factors that influence crime statistics include the way offences are defined in the relevant legislation, for example, as well as the rules and guiding principles that obtain for the work of the police and prosecutors.
The statistical factors that exert an influence include the principles that determine when a crime is recorded in the statistics. In some countries an event is only recorded in the crime statistics if, after investigation, it can legitimately be considered a crime or where there is sufficient evidence that a crime has been committed. Swedish statistics, on the other hand, record all reported events as crimes even if some of them are later found not to have constituted criminal offences.
Every country has its own principles about what is to be recorded as a criminal act. In some countries, if several offences are committed on the same occasion, only the most serious of these will be recorded. In Sweden, every offence committed on a single occasion is recorded in principle.
Methods of counting crime also vary from one country to another. Several offences of the same kind against a single victim will be counted in some countries as a single crime. By contrast, in Swedish crime statistics every offence occurring under these circumstances is counted separately.
The statistical classification of different types of incidents also varies. This is true of attempted offences, for example, which are in Sweden counted together with completed crimes. In a number of other countries, attempted offences are either recorded separately or ignored for statistical purposes.
Crime statistics are also influenced by public willingness to report crime, and by the efforts made by the police to deal with reported crime in the light of the way they prioritise different types of offences. This too may vary from country to country, making international comparisons more difficult.
The Swedish Crime Survey (a survey of self-reported victimization) constitutes a valuable indicator of  exposure to crime (for example in relation to the official crime statistics), as a means of describing perceptions of safety (or fear of crime) or confidence, and also as a national reference point for other surveys.

So evidence of extremely high rape stats... evidence that immigrant Muslim men are responsible for 3/4 of it... evidence of police and media trying to hide the truth...


What more do you need!?

What evidence?

Keep asking for the offical stats to prove your claim

So do people think that the police have hushed it up, regardless of the actual statistics?

I have no doubt they have hushed up some of these events Rags

Do you think they've done so in order to prevent a backlash of some kind, or because they feel it's a "cultural" issue rather than a criminal one?

Possibilities of both, mnore to do with failings to porperly vet people who do enter the country in my opinion.

Possible again but maybe more a failing of the system itself and how there is free movement across Europe as it is. The open border policy is clearly being shown up for how flawed it is. The recent mastermind behind the Paris attack was in the Uk recently before the actual attack. Something has to fundementally change.

So now you admit the cover ups Dodge...!?

The issue isn't the attacks themselves though, it's the alleged cover up. Not vetting people might have allowed in men who were not very civilised, but that doesn't explain why the police would cover up the crimes.

Like I say they woud cover up for many possible reasons, one being how the system to check fails. If as seen the spotlight is placed on asylum seekers, people will be very angy and unreceptive to allowing any in. They have done far more damage by trying to cover this up which will effect those genuinely seeking safety that want to integrate into that country.

As the main reason? Yes I guess, but not the only reason in my opinion

The people responsible for the rapes are the ones who are doing it.

The people trying to cover up the truth are liars and cheats, enablers of evil and the continuation of crime, traitors against their country and their people!!!

Still waiting for the offical stats you claim to have for 75 percent Muslim Tommy. Nobody has anywhere on here denied Police have tried to cover up from the media crimes.
