http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics
Sweden has the
highest incidence of reported rapes in Europe and one of the highest in the
world. According to a 2009 study, there were 46 incidents of rape per 100,000
residents. This
figure is twice that of the UK which reports 23 cases, and four times that of
the other Nordic countries, Germany and France. The figure is up to 20 times
the figure for certain countries in southern and eastern Europe.
The
Swedish National Council for Crime
Prevention claims
that it is not "possible to evaluate and compare the actual levels of
violent crimes... between countries", but that in any case the high
numbers are explained by a broader legal definiton of rape than in other
countries, and an effort to register all suspected and repeated rapes. It
asserts that comparisons based on victim surveys place Sweden at an average level
among European nations
