The quiet, non spoken, mutual agreement

There is a common conception among a lot of Swedes that immigrants are more criminal than Swedes

In Sweden there is no statistics clarifying how many immigrants there are in Swedish prisons. The only statistics there is, is how many prisoners we have with foreign citizenship.
Prisoners with foreign citizenship are 27% of the total member of prisoners (2002-2003).

There is no statistics clarifying how many immigrants are performing legal offence in Sweden.

Research from 2005, including 4,4 million people between 15-51 years old, living in Sweden during 1997-2001, shows that 12% of people born outside Sweden were suspects in crime investigations, while only 5 % of people born in Sweden were suspects in crime investigations during the same period.
This research is done by The Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. http://www.bra.se/

The reasons that people born outside Sweden, living in Sweden, are suspects twice as often as people born in Sweden can, according to The Swedish National Council for crime Prevention, be that they:
1. Are reported to the police more often.
2. Are looking and behaving differently.
3. Have difficulties to adapt to Swedish customs.
4. Belong to the lower class’ of society.
5. Are living in segregated residential areas.

Be aware that none of these 5 points are criminal offence.

If any comfort; it is 3,5 times more common that men are suspects than women. 6 times more common that people living on social welfare are suspects than people not living on social welfare.
Or, how about the combination; being a man, born outside Sweden and living on welfare. Does that make it 2 x 3,5 x 6 = 42 times more common to be a suspect than being a woman, born in Sweden and not living on social welfare? The research doesn’t answer that question.

The Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention has interviewed 10 000 Swedish students regarding their attitudes towards minorities and foreigners. The study shows that there is a small group of students that are strongly intolerant and hostile towards immigrants.
This group is mainly working class boys, with problems in school, with criminal friends, with a male chauvinistic attitude and they feel like outsiders in the society.

My own conclusion is that these young men carry a need to take revenge. And they do it by declaring war towards people they feel are below than them in society. People like, homosexuals, immigrants, women, Jews, Muslims etc.. They declare war towards these groups because they are cowards but also because they believe there is a quiet, non spoken, mutual agreement, among the majority of the Swedes, that minorities are threats and therefore it is OK to attack them.

We must always be aware of what we say and how we act to avoid reinforcing this dangerous, “quiet, non spoken, mutual agreement”.

Think about that my friend !
