I am not that familiar with the data or conditions in Sweden to comment. What I am looking at is the US which is where we are and I don't see stats that match those of Sweden. Most rapes in the US are committed by people women know, all too often family members. That speaks more to issues of sexism which can be simply defined as power by men over women. We know that rape is not about sex but about power--raw power by people, typically men, who are feeling unempowered and directing their anger and disempowerment towards women who are perceived as less than, weaker, subordinate, deserving of being over powered by men. The problem will never be solved with punitive and fear based solutions. As will other problems int he country it is about changing the power relationships and creating equity particularly economic equity. We do know that when people have jobs and can pay their bills and have a bit extra for enjoyment crime goes down. Look at the crime numbers pre-- during and post covid lockdowns and unemployment. They rose during the repressive covid mandates and have significantly dropped when they were removed. This is very true in the big cities where murder rates have been dropping over the past few years.
The situation is quite different in the US. They did not have massive migration from Muslim countries like they did across much of Europe. They came that places that hate western culture and infidels. It is the indigenous women and girls that are being raped
