@mike69 saidWhen a perpetrator of a serious crime is convicted, their identity is usually revealed in the news and their photo too, on TV and in newspapers. There are TV programmes - Kalla fakta and Uppdrag granskning - where investigative journalism covers what they believe should be common knowledge. But simply stating that a criminal or perpetrator is a Muslim or Arab, what good would that do? We know of the problems in vulnerable areas but we don't seem to agree what to do about it.
In general Swedish media is honest. There are a couple of areas though that are problematic - the most obvious one being immigration and problems related to it. Swedish media simply doesn’t report on immigration in an objective manner, and most people are aware of it. According to several studies from the SOM Institute at Gothenburg University, Swedish media consumers have high levels of trust in their media - with the exception of reporting on everything immigrant related.
@Torunn saidI think usually is the point of the study, along with everything else hidden for agendas like mainstream media here.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidNever heard of this stat before.
Didn't used to be that way...what has changed?

Are they hiding because Dutch "men" like you are allowing them to be attacked by the foreigners YOU have allowed to take over your country? (Like some kind of namby-pamby Euro cr.u.nt?)
I know plenty of women and nobody seems scared to go out by themselves. They cycle all over the bloody place.
As for your racist implication, 5% of Dutch people are Moslim. The same percentage as in the 90’s. Not much has really changed.
Yeah, sure inner-citied have more crime, but that’s in most countries.
Someone’s dog pooped in the park around the corner from where we live. Man, that was a big thing on the neighbourhood app. Man, folks are still talking about it 3 months later.
@Torunn saidJust as I suspected. The data broken down by race, ethnicity, nationality etc is not available. It is available for other countries.
https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Crime_statistics#:~:text=%EE%80%80[[File:Crime%EE%80%81%20statistics
This is what I find. If we want to go deeper into the facts and records, we may have to go about it differently, country by country perhaps.
@Torunn saidAll European countries are not releasing such data. But of course residents living in that country will be aware as they [like you], see the news. So foreign young men in gangs attack others.
If I follow national news correctly, random violence most often happens among men - gangs of men attacking other young men and these gangs often represent men with a foreign background. Young men are threatened and humiliated in different ways. Young women are being assaulted too - domestic violence (happens in all kinds of families), boyfriends, and random victims. Which countries are we talking about hiding such data?
@congruent said'Muppet' is a term of endearment where Im from. So since we aint friends I would appreaciate if you can address me in some other way. Thanks.
Raj Muppet, your Trinidad is the most criminal and violent in the Caribbean. Are you muslim and a drug dealer?
As for your question [which is stupid], I am neither. Im accepting stupid questions today, ask another.
@Torunn saidThe media reports things that catch eyeballs. That is a choice.

Imagine that murders and robbery were NOT reported - only tax cheats and other white-collar crime; and the only things reported about the perps were AGI (adjusted gross income) and political party affiliation.
After a few years of watching the news, people would conclude that their society was being destroyed by 'law-breaking, rich Republicans.' 😆
@spruce112358 saidOf course crimes should be reported.

@AThousandYoung saidRight, this is generally the 'abortion decline' you get in the West as well as an increasing amount of unprepared women were aborting their kids.
Google AI says this:Homicide rates in Europe have significantly decreased over the past few decades. Specifically, there was a sharp decline from around 8 per 100,000 people in 2000 to just above 2 per 100,000 by 2020. This represents a drop of nearly three-quarters. While there was a slight increase in intentional homicides in the EU in 2023 (1.5% compared ...[text shortened]... into the 1980s or early 1990s before beginning a decline that continues to the present day.
It makes some sense, though - Europe is a state with a lot of surveillance, few rights, and relative prosperity.
The real interesting thing, though, will be over the next few decades. A big question will be asked: will the New Europeans be able to sustain the economy in an increasing competitive world that make Europe a good place to live? Or will it start to tank a bit?
... And then the gals will be real scared to go outside and we will see a general retreat of feminism.
@Philokalia saidEurope has few rights???

@shavixmir saidThe Netherlands is somewhat of an exception - perhaps because of the unique heritage that it has as a rebellious state - but in much of Europe there is a distinct lack of free speech.

For instance, in Sweden the state does not publish aggregate numbers that break down crime rate by ethnic or racial origin or migrant group, and only licensed academics can access that information. France does not even gather information of that nature, and even other information of a senstivie nature, such as the percent of African origin people living off of welfare or in public housing (which is upwards of 2/3) has to be unofficially gathered.
I also recollect that France reserves the right to dissolve political parties, and I have heard instances of people being imprisoned for 1-2 years for publishing material deemed anti-Semitic. In one case, it was simply the republishing of a classic book that went against the grain on this issue.
Of course, I believe Holocaust denial is illegal in most countries, and I also think nearly all countries have some rule about "incitement to racial violence."
Not to mention, there are few nations with any rights to gun ownership, though I am aware that Norway, Finland, and Switzerland have occasionally been exceptions to this.
You also see some very mundane things like homeschooling being illegal in Germany and Greece, and in places where it is legal homeschoolers are highly restricted (like Sweden). [1]
So, what kind of freedom can exist in countries with such little free speech? What sort of academic freedom exists in a place like Sweden? What sort of 'marketplace of ideas' do we have?
