The majority of rapes in Sweden are perpetrated by immigrant men study reveals

A new research study of more than 3 000 convicted men in Sweden shows that 60 percent were first or second-generation immigrants, and that almost half were previously convicted of violent crimes.

    Some 8 820 rapes and attempted rapes were reported in 2019 to police. Since 2010 the number has increased 44 percent, according to the Crime Prevention Council (BRÅ).

    The research group at Lund University identified and charted different characteristics and background factors for all convicted rapists between 2000 and 2015. No such study has ever been done.

    Half of the rapes were committed by men born abroad. Another 10 percent had an immigrant background. In all, 60 percent of perpetrators were either first or second-generation immigrants.

    Among those with an immigrant background, the most common were those born in the Middle East/North Africa (34,5 percent), followed by Africa (19,1 percent), then Eastern Europe (15 percent).

    “The immigrant background was nothing we investigated specifically; it was just one of the many variables. But the proportions here were something that surprised us,” says Kristina Sundquist, professor of general medicine and clinical epidemiology at Lund University to Kvällsposten.

    Half of all convicted male rapists had previously been convicted of violent crimes, and one-third were on some form of social assistance. More often than not they resided in a socially vulnerable area and had a lower IQ than average.

    Researchers have been able, through studies, to identify two different types of rapists. One is the expected one: those with criminal careers and those who have abuse or psychiatric problems. They live in society’s shadow with welfare dependency, low school grades, low IQ, and a low tolerance for stress.

    This latest Swedish study showed results similar to several international studies, including those conducted in Norway, Finland and Denmark, namely that immigrants are not only massively overrepresented, they even commit a majority of rapes in Sweden despite the fact that they constitute a minority of the population.

    As in previous studies, it is specifically immigrants from the Middle East, North Africa and Africa who stand out as the most common ethnic groups for rapists. Another interesting aspect that the study addresses is that it undermines theories that are often put forward that there are socio-economic reasons behind immigrants’ over-representation as perpetrators of rape.

    The study was recently published on the reputable site Taylor & Francis Online in their Forensic Sciences Research journal. It is a unique survey covering several interesting aspects compiled from requests for extensive material from the Swedish Criminal Register.

    The study covers rapes from 2000 to 2015, which suggests that the number of these crimes has undoubtedly increased since large numbers of “unaccompanied” immigrants from countries such as Afghanistan and Syria – individuals who are particularly overrepresented as perpetrators of rape – have been omitted because they have chosen not to include any data beyond 2015.

    The authors had chosen to classify “Swedes” as “born in Sweden by Swedish-born parents”, which, however, includes an increasing proportion of Swedish citizens with a foreign background. Ethnic Swedes thus constitute a continuously smaller proportion of “Swedes” in studies such as these since they do not take ethnic background into account but the country of birth instead. It is relevant to note that future statistics will thus become increasingly skewed and show that more and more “Swedes” are rapists when the proportion of ethnic Swedes is in fact decreasing.

    The study thus divided immigrants into the groups “first or second generation immigrants”, born in Sweden with a parent born in Sweden, born in Sweden without parents born in Sweden and born outside Sweden.

    The study found that an overwhelming majority of the perpetrators were men, 99,7 percent and that almost half of these were born outside Sweden, 47,7 percent (immigrants not born in Sweden), while 40,8 percent of the perpetrators were “Swedish-born”. That is, they were “born in Sweden of Swedish-born parents”.

    In total, 59,3 percent of the rapists in the study are immigrants according to their classification. According to the same criteria, today about 25,5 percent of Sweden’s population consists of immigrants – even if the actual figure is higher if you include ethnic origin. This suggests a massive over-representation of certain ethnic groups, and that over-representation only becomes greater when dividing the perpetrators into subgroups (for example, immigrants from the Middle East) instead of mixing in subgroups that commit fewer rapes (for example, immigrants from Southeast Asia or the United States).

    Citizen studies on the subject, such as the one presented by lay researcher Joakim P Jonasson who went through convictions from Sweden’s district courts between 2012 and 2017, have been able to take a closer look at this over-representation that exists among subgroups. His extensive research showed, among other things, that men of non-European descent commit 84 percent of the aggravated rapes, while 95,6 percent of the assault rapes are committed by men of foreign origin and 90 percent of the gang rapes [against women/girls] were committed by men of non-European descent.

    But peer-reviewed research is becoming difficult to find in the Swedish context, since there is a clear political bias not to reveal the real extent of the scourge. A similar situation is evident in South Africa, where the rate of sexual violence has been among the highest in the world since 1994 when the ANC took power, but the ethnicity of perpetrator groups has never been exposed. Instead all men are blamed indiscriminately for “gender-based” violence. Women’s groups in South Africa have estimated that a woman is raped every 26 seconds.

    Rape is a widespread problem in Sweden, a problem which is constantly increasing in scope and affecting more and more people. According to the Swedish Crime Prevention Council, rapes increased by 45,4 percent between 2008 and 2018 alone. Crime statistics initiated by the Council of Europe, showed Sweden has had the highest number of registered rape offences in Europe by a considerable extent.

    Because immigration from these perpetrator groups have increased, rapes committed by these immigrants have naturally increased too.

    But this issue is – to say the least – politically troublesome for those who want to see continued immigration to Sweden and despite the obvious importance of combating these crimes, the government, most parliamentary parties and mass media have for a long time tried to hide the problem or simply ignore it. BRÅ, for example, has only conducted two major studies on the subject to date.

    In 1996, BRÅ released the first report that addressed the issue of immigrants’ over-representation as perpetrators of sexual crimes: “The crime of immigrants and immigrant children” by Jan Ahlberg, showed the over-representation of certain perpetrators. According to BRÅ, immigrants in general were found to commit 4,5 times as many rapes as Swedes per capita. The North Africans were the worst – in comparison with a Swedish man, they were 18 times more likely to be the perpetrator of a reported rape. Together with sub-Saharan Africans, men from the Middle East were between five and thirteen times more prone to rape than Swedish men. This was followed by South Americans, southern Europeans and Eastern Europeans.

    BRÅ came out with a new report on immigrant crime in 2005 – that is 16 years ago. The fact that North Africans were four times more likely to be suspected of crime could be admitted, but not that they were 18 times more likely to be rapists.

    As in South Africa, the results of these and other studies were viewed as fodder for “racists” because for obvious reasons it would support a very strong argument against continued immigration of groups that commit these rapes, in addition largely aimed at the most vulnerable of the Swedish population: women and children.

    Pro-immigration activists often claim that “socio-economic factors” are behind the fact that immigrants rape more often. The explanatory argument proposes that it is society’s fault, because “poor” immigrants living in ghettos were more likely to commit crimes. But no one has questioned how rape would improve the economic situation of a poor immigrant, because the non-white individual needs to be exonerated by leftists and multiculturalists while society at large carries the blame.

    This latest study however, refutes the hypothesis that socio-economic reasons force immigrants to commit more crimes. An interesting conclusion was reached in the study, namely that the majority of perpetrators of rape, as much as 74,6 percent, had very few contributing social factors such as difficult economic, educational, or living conditions known as “areas of exclusion” and so on. Yet as many as 62,2 percent of the perpetrators in this group were first- or second-generation immigrants.

    DESTRUCTIVE HAILSTORMS will become more frequent and violent with increasingly larger hail, predicted solar researcher Valentina Zharkova back in 2019 when she stated that it's one of many signs of an impending Grand Solar Minimum. This is exactly what we have witnessed this year in both Europe and the world. Here is the German town of Benediktbeuern in Bavaria after a hailstorm on August 26th. Almost all rooftops and cars were damaged. The centuries-old church and monastery were damaged for the first time ever. Interestingly, the monastery was rebuilt in 1699 during the Maunder Minimum. Combined with heavy rainfall, extreme weather will devastate a significant portion of our food production. For instance, heavy rainfall destroyed a quarter of all crops in Greece in just two days in September. However, mainstream media remains silent. Photo: X @safe0007/Sandor Feher

    NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s

    CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.

    NATIONALIST COLLABORATION TAKES SHAPE. Six parties met in Budapest on August 26th to sign a joint declaration confirming the friendship and political unity among the parties. The goal is to either form a new group in the European Parliament after the EU elections in June next year or to reconstitute the existing Identity and Democracy (ID) group with the new parties.

    European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections

    EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

    Turkey Believes Sweden Hasn’t Done Enough

    Sweden will have to wait a bit longer for NATO membership, according to Turkey's Justice Minister Jilmaz Tunc. First, Sweden must extradite the "terrorists" Turkey wants and stop the desecration of the Quran.

    Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter

    The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.

The first of the two conference days began with a strong program speech by the party's male spokesperson. Subsequently, party officials were elected and motions were addressed. The second day was entirely devoted to candidate selection and positioning for the EU election in June next year. Screenshot: AfD on Facebook

    Strong Confidence in German AfD

    Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.

    Maximilian Krah is one of the AfD politicians who is singled out as an ethnonationalist, as he has stated that there is a distinction between ethnic Germans and immigrants who have obtained German citizenship. Krah is a Member of the European Parliament and AfD's top candidate for the upcoming European Union election next year. Still image: AfD on Facebook

    The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy

    The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

    FvD was quick to support the protests against covid restrictions. Today, the party also stands behind the farmers protests against the governments’ plans to close a big portion of the farms in the country for the sake of “climate”.

    Publisher of Unique Literature Worldwide Blocked by International Distributor

    Arktos has distinguished itself by publishing groundbreaking philosophers and social critics. Now, the publisher's international distributor has abruptly terminated the cooperation, and more than 400 already printed titles cannot reach their audience. There is strong evidence that the distributor has been under pressure, something that has also happened in Sweden. We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
