Refugee Shelters Set on Fire in Sweden Overnight

Don't take my word for it, take the word of the people who do the report to begin with.

UNODC report[edit] A frequently cited source when comparing Swedish rape statistics internationally is the regularly published report by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). In 2012, according to the report by UNODC, Sweden was quoted as having 66.5 cases of reported rapes per 100,000 population,[37] based on official statistics by Brå.[38] This is the highest number of reported rape of any nation in the report. The high number of reported rapes in Sweden can partly be explained by the comparatively broad definition of rape, the method of which the Swedish police record rapes, a high confidence in the criminal justice system, and an effort by the Government to decrease the number of unreported rapes.[note 1][8][9][15][39]

Unreliable data for cross-national comparison[edit] For more details on this topic, see Swedish rape statistics. The UNODC itself discourages any cross-national comparisons based on their reports, because of the differences that exist between legal definitions, methods of offense counting and crime reporting.[37] In 2013, of the 129 countries listed in the UNODC report, a total of 67 countries had no reported data on rape.[30][37] Some majority muslim countries missing data—for example Egypt—classifies rape as assault.[40][41] A crime survey funded by the UN and published in The Lancet Global Health concluded that almost a quarter of all men admit to rape in parts of Asia.[42][43] Some of the countries with the highest percentage of men admitting rape in that study, China and Bangladesh for instance, are also not listed or have relatively low numbers of reported rape in the UNODC report.[37]

8 out of 10 of the countries with the highest number of reported rape in the 2011 UNODC report were members of OECD, an organization of high-income economies with a very high Human Development Index. 6 out of 10 countries with the highest number of reported rapes were also in the top of the Global Gender Gap Index rankings.[40]Here
