DOMESTIC. Sweden is the second most dangerous country in Europe, according to statistics page Numbeo.
It is the statistical database Numbeo.com that lists Sweden as Europe's second most dangerous country by 2020, something that has previously attracted the attention of Samnytt.
The database is often used by various newspapers, including the British media, to show statistics in and between different countries.
In the crime index for last year, Sweden ends up second worst. Sweden is also the second worst when it comes to perceived security in the country.
Last year, only Ukraine, where there is a low-intensity war with Russia, was more dangerous than Sweden.
Sweden is the most insecure of all the Nordic countries, according to statistics. Neighboring country Finland is seen as the fourth safest country in Europe and Iceland as the fifth safest.
This is how Numbeo explains his statistics:
- "Crime index is an estimate of the total crime level in a particular city or country. We consider crime levels lower than 20 to be very low, crime levels between 20 and 40 as low, crime levels between 40 and 60 as moderate, crime levels between 60 and 80 as high and finally crime levels higher than 80 as very high. The security index, on the other hand, is the complete opposite of the crime index. If the city has a high security index, it is considered very safe. "
