Sweden decided about 15 years ago to be super honest about how many rapes occur. We're the only country on the planet who do this. This makes our rape statistic high.
But that's no reason to suspect that rapes are higher in Sweden than in other countries.
If we look at the behaviour of Swedes. Young Swedish women expect to be able to get extremely drunk and walk around alone in high crime neighbourhoods without getting assaulted. They do this all the time without reflecting about it. If anything would happen its headline news all over the country.
I don't know any other country where women feel that safe. I've never been in one.
