Sweden has experienced a sharp increase in deadly gun crime. Gang conflict is behind much of the violence, but some argue that the problem has roots in wider Swedish society.

Tha an t-Suain air a bhith a鈥� d猫ilgeadh ri 矛rean 脿rd de ionnsaighean-gunna bho chionn greis. Air a鈥� bhliadhna seo fh猫in, suas chun t-Sultain, tha faisg air leth-cheud neach air am beatha a chall ri linn an fh貌irneart seo, agus m貌ran theaghlaichean a鈥� fulang a鈥� bhuaidh mh矛lteach. Mar a tha Anndra MacFhionghain ag aithris, tha buidhnean-eucor an cois m貌ran den ch貌mh-stri seo agus tha an riaghaltas a-nis a鈥� muigheadh binnean nas cruaidhe dha eucoirich agus smacan a鈥� bharrachd air armachd m矛-laghail. Ach tha feadhainn a鈥� cumail a-mach gu bheil freumhaichean na trioblaid a鈥� dol nas fharsuinge na seo.

Sweden has been experiencing a sharp increase in deadly gun crime. Up until September almost 50 people had lost their lives this year alone, with many families experiencing its destructive effects. As Andrew Mackinnon reports, gang conflict is behind much of the violence and the Swedish government has vowed to fight the problem with tougher sentences and greater restrictions aimed at combating the problem of illegal weapons. But some argue that the problem has roots in wider Swedish society.

Gun crime in Sweden

Gun crime in Sweden
Sweden has recently seen a sharp rise in deadly gun crime. At a time when other European countries are seeing numbers of fatal shootings fall, the issue has become one of great concern here, with the problem particularly affecting the suburbs of Sweden's cities. Gang conflict is behind much of the deadly violence, and many of the weapons used are illegally smuggled into the country through drug-trade routes. Although some people have blamed Sweden's high levels of immigration for this problem, research shows that other countries with similar levels are not suffering from the same problem. To tackle this issue, the new government has promised tougher sentencing and a crackdown on illegal weapons.

This week, Andrew MacKinnon is in Stockholm, speaking to people who have lost loved ones due to the rise in gun violence, as well as to experts who explain why this has happened in Sweden, and how best to improve the current situation.
