*Swedish Authority which is working to reduce crime and increase security in society. They do this by generating the data and disseminate knowledge about crime, crime prevention and judicial responses to violations. |
the main factor is the country and population's wealth: wealthier countries with a small economic inequality among classes have way less violent crimes than others. One of the main drivers of crime is poverty. Sweden is a happy and wealthy country, but others like the UK, who opened the doors to a lot of immigrants, brought in a social inequality that favoured crime.
