It is obvious that ”Homicides/Murder” and “Theft, totally” happened about twice as often in Sweden than in USA. “Rape” happened about 10% more often in Sweden compared with USA.
When it comes to ”Homicides/murder” and ”Rape” there still is a difference
when you compare Sweden and Albania. “Homicides/murder” happened most infrequent in Finland and England, but about six times as
often in Sweden compared with that. “Theft totally” was about twice as frequent
in Sweden, when you compare to the other Nordic countries, and also more
frequently than in England. Narco-criminality in Norway is about three times as
frequent, when you compare with the other Nordic countries. The long coastline
play an important role. Here is no available registrations for USA.

Table notes:
Where the table shows a dash there are either no
available registrations or the division of categories cannot be compared
with the figures in other countries. There are other
sexual characterised offences, but the categories do not seem to harmonize
from country to country.
Description:
If ”Serious
assault” has been defined identical in the single countries is difficult to
say.
For a few of the countries registrations from
year 2002 have been published.
Look at Denmark, and you will find
criminality is increasing generally:

Interpol’s table, last column assign room for figures of how many
offences that were made by foreigners.
None of the countries have any registrations here. As matters develop
with naturalisations and a disordered account of population it is not becoming easier to divide the criminal offences between
foreigners and the ordinary populations.
To enlighten what is going on I have to tell that Finland has the most
restrictive law of immigration, when you compare with the other Nordic countries.
…………………
A propos Sweden:
”It goes on very well for Sweden”, it is often said. But the need for
the state to borrow increases from 27 (Amer.) billions krones to 41 billions. That is the first forecast of the Bureau of State-Debt for
2004. The forecast is based on prosperity-business-cycles(compare the Keynes-theories that are just theories). The uncertainty is
large for the future development, and the Bureau of State-Debt consider it
likely that the state will need to borrow more, not less money. The Swedish
State-Debt is rising and the amount is 1,517 billions or 1.517 (Amer.) trillions krones (about $190 billions) now. The
tax-revenue is decreasing substantial at the same time.
Sweden had in average 8,909,128 inhabitants in 2001.
What concerns Denmark is not much different, even though you hear
something else.
Denmark had 5,349,212 inhabitants in 2001.
