Oh really? So no increase in crime in Europe with increasing unemployment? I doubt it.

Europe is a continent with numerous countries, each on a different spot on the economic spectrum.
Any country with a strong social safety net will be far better off when unemployment spikes than one without such a net.
When humans care about their fellow man, society flourishes. When it's every man for himself, spiralling unemployment means crime, anarchy, and chaos.

That explains the grenade attacks in Sweden.

How so?
Perhaps you need me to be more clear. When there is unemployment, crime goes up. This happens no matter where in the world you are. I didn't think I needed to spell that out.
Countries with a strong social safety net will be far safer when unemployment rises out of control. That's just common sense.
It's why Sweden is multiple times safe than the US, regardless of the unemployment rate. They have a social safety net.
But in countries going through late stage capitalism, if you don't have a job, you have to rob your neighbour to eat.
