Compared to very recently. It doesn't take more than very recently into account, completely disregarding there's been a huge fucking increase in crime since the 50s. I also love the excuse "It's increased due to increased alcohol consumption among young people" for the increase with rape among young people. Yet, at the same time we get these kind of things: http://www.thelocal.se/20131206/sout...nk-more-report
Yep, it's because of more young people drinking. Clearly.Underage drinking in Sweden is at its lowest level in over four decades, according to a new report, which also found that Swedish kids from the south are the most likely to consume alcohol.
This is just another case of where they try to tie together things to explain the increase in crime but then reports gets released later on that which contradicts what they said. "Increased drinking among young people" when it's at an all-time low when looking back 40 years. GG.
This is one "possible cause" that the crime bureau gave to increase in gang rapes among young people:
– En annan förklaring till ökningen kan vara den ökade alkoholkonsumtionen. Vi vet att unga dricker mer, och det är vid sådana tillfällen det händer, säger Klara Hradilova-Selin.Yet we have a report saying the drinking is at an all-time low for young people, when comparing to 40 years back. Just doesn't add up. One is lying, and I'm more likely to believe it's the crime bureau lying here, than a study about drinking habits among young people.- Another explanation to the increase can be the increased alcohol consumption. We know that young people dirnk more, and it's in those circumstances that it happens, says Klara Hradilova-selin.
Though, she admits there could be an actual increase, which is somewhat redeeming on her behalf but she's still straight out lying about people drinking more. Which is bad in this context, since that contradicts all the studies about alcohol habits in Sweden.
