Gun violence is going up in Sweden despite the Chinese flu and a police crackdown on gangs in the country.....
Shootings on the Rise in Sweden Despite Crackdown on Gang Violence, COVID-19 Epidemic
The number of shootings is increasing in Sweden, despite a national effort to curtail gang violence amid the ongoing coronavirus epidemic, SVT reported.
-------
The police also noted that the raging coronavirus epidemic, contrary to some people's expectations, has not had a major impact on crime. This is likely due to the fact that Sweden, unlike most European nations, has consistently avoided lockdowns. Even the flow of drugs has not been disturbed to any great extent, the police said. However, there is still a risk that reduced access to drugs may increase violence.
