| Immigrant Watch: Sweden rape: Most convicted attackers foreign-born |
| 2018-08-23 |
| [BBC] About 58% of men convicted in Sweden of rape and attempted rape over the past five years were born abroad, according to data from Swedish national TV. Public broadcaster SVT said it had counted all court convictions to present a complete picture in Sweden. But Sweden had thousands more reported rapes, and there is no ethnic breakdown for those. Immigration and crime are major issues in Sweden's general election campaign. The vote is on 9 September. The anti-immigration Sweden Democrats hope to make significant ground, although they have slipped to third place in the latest opinion poll. The Mission Investigation programme, due to be broadcast on Wednesday by SVT, said the total number of offenders over five years was 843. Of those, 197 were from the Middle East and North Africa, with 45 coming from Afghanistan. The SVT programme revealed that in cases where the victim did not know the attacker, the proportion of foreign-born offenders was more than 80%. The latest opinion poll on Wednesday suggests the populist party's support has dipped in recent weeks to just over 19% in the polls, but it is still on course for its best performance yet. The Social Democrats are leading the polls while the Moderates are just ahead of the anti-immigration SD. |

| #1 But Sweden had thousands more reported rapes, and there is no ethnic breakdown for those. So the 58% number is bullshit - care to guess again, Sven? |
