And by your ridiculous standards, crime in Sweden should be going down, yet it is booming. The rate of sex crimes alone has tripled since 2014.

This has nothing to do with an actual increase in crime, and everything to do with the reclassification of sex crimes in Sweden.

What reclassification? And how would you account for the fact that every other type of crime also increased? Assault, robbery, threats, gun homicides, detonated hand grenades?

Just curious, how would you account for the increase in those crimes?
