Here's a growth industry - Rape in Sweden...

Norway's Human Rights Service (an essential stop on the web) looks at the horrible rape statistics in Sweden....

The number of rapes in our neighboring country has risen dramatically from year to year, from 350 reported rapes in 1950 to 800 in 1975, after which the numbers exploded beginning in the 1990s – a development which coincided with the leap in non-Western immigration. Until that time, gang rapes were a virtually unknown phenomenon in Sweden (and Norway). In 2006, however, a dizzying 18 percent of all reported rapes were gang rapes.

The total number of rapes (including violent rapes) reported to the police rose gradually from barely 350 in 1950 to 800 in 1975. After that, the rate climbed steeply to over 2,100 in 1993. Since then, the curve has become increasingly steep with every passing year. In 2003 the number of reported rapes exceeded 2,500 for the first time. After the new sex crimes law went into effect in April 2005, the figure jumped from about 3,800 to just over 4,700 in 2007. Since then, the increase has continued at an undiminished pace, and in 2008 the number of rapes reported was 5450.

The number of rapes of children under 15 years old climbed from just over 700 in 1975 to about 1,400 in 2008 – an increase of 200%.

The number of reported outdoor rapes rose by slightly over 300 percent between 1975 and 2007. The largest increase is in the number of reported indoor rapes, which has risen by almost 650 percent since 1975.

The number of gang rapes has risen dramatically during the last decades - jumping by at least 377% during the years 1995 to 2006.

Unlike Swedish authorities and many researchers, the founders of the new website will not sweep the perpetrators’ origins under the carpet. According to official Swedish figures, foreign-born people are accused of rape five times more often than men with Swedish-born parents. Finns, Americans, and all other rapists of Western origin are included in this figure. Sweden clearly prefers not to acknowledge publicly what is obviously the case: namely, that men with non-Western backgrounds are highly overrepresented in the rape statistics, and especially in the statistics on assault rapes and gang rapes. The purpose of releasing such information would not be to stigmatize but to prevent.

Certain ethnic groups commit a disproportionate number of sexual offenses. We do not intend to speculate why this is the case; we will leave theories about cultural or biological backgrounds to others. We don’t want, however, to conceal facts that may prevent rapes. Likewise, we do not intend to deny important information to potential rape victims concerning potential rapists. We are not governed by political considerations, as is the BRÅ [Brottsförebyggande rådet, i.e. Council for Crime Prevention], nor do we need to conceal or distort the facts and statistics so that they will fit into a politically correct template. On the other hand, we are acting in accordance with the law, and are thus striving not to look down on or in any other sense disparage various ethnic groups in a way that would violate the law on Persecution of Ethnic Groups.
