Armed violence escalates in the major Swedish cities. Since 2010, five times as many shots injured in the Swedish cities compared to the neighboring countries' capitals together. It shows a review that SVT Nyheter.
Sweden 2015 in installments rocked by gang-related violence in metropolitan areas. In Malmö, the wave of the hand grenades dominated the news flow and even killings have taken place.
In Gothenburg got the unimaginably brutal mass shooting at Vårväderstorget Prime Minister Stephen Löfven to visit the site and promise repentance.
Two died and eight shots were injured when masked men with automatic weapons fired madly at a restaurant.
Although attacks have lasting unusually remarkable year as the trend has been clear for years. While deadly violence reduces total in society increases the violence with firearms on the streets.
Compared to neighboring countries, the situation is extreme.
- The figures are very remarkable, says Micael Birch, a sociologist at the University of Gothenburg, including research on policing and organized crime.
The figures SVT News developed shows that the number of gunshot victims and dead in all the three major Swedish cities far exceeds the numbers in Oslo, Copenhagen and Helsinki.
Clap figures show that five times as many shots have been damaged in the past five years in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö as compared to the neighboring countries' capitals together.
The number of deaths in shootouts are about four times as many.
"A big knowledge gap"
Looking at the number of shootings, the differences are too great, even if the actual shootouts counted in different ways in the different cities. Copenhagen Police stated that they had 122 shootings since 2011. In Gothenburg there have been almost twice as many in Stockholm about three times as many.
- Exactly why it pushed more in Sweden can not answer, we have a big knowledge gap here. Nobody has made any proper analysis of this situation, says Jerzy Sarnecki, professor in criminology.
Sarnecki mentions that there are differences in how the police work in the four countries. But he nevertheless describes the conditions as relatively similar in terms of legislation and other tools.
- I think rather that we have a much weaker social situation here. What we see now is the result of a failure that extends for twenty years when these young guys who now shoots grew up, he says.
"Shoot apparently to kill"
SVT News spoke to scientists, police officers in the various countries and other experts.
No one has a certain answer as to why the move so much more in Sweden.
Some mention violence wave dynamics. When the spiral has started, it is difficult to stop. Any person killed or injured, individuals around him who exacts revenge.
For example, in Gothenburg, the police on more than one occasion gone out and said that the situation has calmed down since the leading figures of criminal networks have been imprisoned or killed.
But each time, the situation escalated again after some time. Either because the relatives and friends of people have taken to, or to new groups have taken advantage of the gaps to strengthen their positions.
A current example is Vårväderstorget in Gothenburg. In that incident killed a senior individual within a network and injured several others. Afterwards, several people have been detained, both suspects involved and the people who planned revenge.
Several conflict rages
Nevertheless, it has only the last month occurred at least five different shootings and a grenade attack in Gothenburg. Two people have been killed and two were shot injured.
- Overall, we have fewer shootings this year. Unfortunately, the number of dead high, to shoot apparently to kill, says Robert Karlsson.
Many of the violent incidents this year, according to Robert Karlsson likely to do with each other. Last week, police beat also decided that the explosion of a car on Hisingen in the summer was the result of a planted bomb.
Four people, including a baby girl, died.
- We have, unfortunately, a number of conflicts raging, and we do not really know where it all is going, says Robert Karlsson.
