Sweden: Immigrants feel less safe, more likely to become crime victims, than Swedes

Sweden: Immigrants feel less safe, more likely to become crime victims, than Swedes

Via the Local:

One in four immigrants doesn't feel safe in Sweden, according to a new study. In general, however, Swedes feel safer than in years past.

More crimes are committed against immigrants in Sweden as a group, the annual national survey of safety compiled by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brottsförebyggande rådet – Brå) has found.

The survey (Nationella trygghetsundersökning – NTU), also found immigrants have less confidence in the Swedish judicial system and feel less safe than the general population.
