Violent Crime Rocks Sweden Ahead of Elections

• For the first time, crime tops the list of voters' most important concerns in the run-up to the elections.

• Of the more than 8,200 people the Swedish police counted as being members of criminal gangs by late 2021, almost 15% were under the age of 18.
