- Hello, from the look of your history of links you are trying to prove something which is not really there, unless we choose to cherry-pick only sources which agree with the view you are trying to push. Some of the sources are indeed well researched and well regarded. And I can often see that there are examples where the sources are already in the articles. But the parts of the sources you choose to highlight are often lacking in context, maybe misunderstood, and/or misrepresented. That, coupled with the occasional straight-out racist source you dumped on wiki articles like Crime in Sweden does not paint your efforts in a neutral light.
- As an example, I would like to specifically point to your link to the BRA/NTU2017 report with the number "…0.8% in 2012 to 2.4% in 2016…" but this is lacking in context, for example does this number consider new laws regarding sex crimes that were enacted during the period? Did you consider the context of any judicial precedence which changed? Has instances of sex crimes like revenge porn increased in recent years? For example, the MeToo movement is culminating, do you know if the increase in reported sex crimes does not also include a general cultural shift where the threshold for what is considered a reportable crime hasn't become lower over the past few years and therefore account for the change? The report asks caution: Enligt reguljära NTU uppskattades antalet brottshändelser 2016 till ungefär 654 000, vilket är avsevärt fler än något annat år. Dock har antalet händelser varierat kraftigt över tid, vilket medför att de årsvisa resultaten för antal händelser ska tolkas med försiktighet och inte användas som huvudsaklig indikator på utsatthet för sexualbrott (se tabell 3B).
- Consider this paraphrased anecdote: A local council changed the traffic laws outside a school from 50km/h to 30km/h and the number of reported traffic violations increased (while average speed of all cars decreased). Upon hearing that there are now more reckless drivers around their children citizens demanded even tougher rules to deal with all these new criminals!
- Personally, I do not like that you choose to dump such a wide set of sources. If you can choose one article and one section of that article to concentrate on at a time, then it would be great with a set of multiple sources!
- Because of how you seem to concentrate so much on immigrants and minorities, I would recommend you consider the effects on statistics of policies such as Stop and frisk, articles like Race and crime, and the fact that social structure (poverty, implicit and explicit discrimination, et.c.) are higher indicators of likelihood of crime than ethnic background.

- The increase in sex crime statistics happened between 2012 and 2016. That was well before the #MeToo movement.
- What do you mean with racist link?
- Also, you are interpreting my viewpoint in opposite order. I turned worried because I read the statistics. I did not have a set viewpoint beforehand and do my best to prove it. David A (talk) 04:06, 9 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
