Sweden sees a decline in gun violence for the second consecutive year

Credited from: THELOCAL

  • Gun violence in Sweden has seen a significant decline, with a total of 270 shootings last year, which is almost 30% less than in 2023.
  • The death toll from shootings fell to 44 in 2024, compared to 54 in the previous year, and the number of injuries nearly halved to 57.
  • Police reports also indicate a decrease in explosions, with 129 detonations in 2024, down by 20 from 2023.
  • Police attribute this downward trend to enhanced capabilities in preventing violence and improved information sharing among various law enforcement units.
  • Despite the reduction, the demand for violence within criminal groups remains high, particularly noted in the rise of digital recruitment among younger suspects.
