Widespread insecurity outdoors in the evening
Published 2024-08-03
According to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention's safety survey, the proportion of the population who do not feel safe when they are outdoors in the evening is increasing. It is worst for young women.
The feeling of insecurity in one's own neighbourhood in the evening has increased over the past ten years, according to the new figures from Brå. The group of young women aged 16-19 is particularly vulnerable, with almost one in two stating that they are not safe outdoors in the evening.
Insecurity is also increasing among men, with the highest increase in the 45-54 age group, where one in five is not safe.
Caroline Mellgren, Professor of Criminology at Malmö University, says she sees several reasons for the increase in insecurity. The increased attention to criminal policy and serious violent offences linked to criminal networks may be a contributing factor, she says.
- "We see that more innocent members of the public are affected. This affects the feeling that this is something that can happen to anyone anywhere," says Caroline Mellgren and continues:
- "You have to remember that the risk for the individual to be affected is very small, but at the same time the consequences are so great and then it results in a higher insecurity for many.
Between 2013 and 2023, murder and manslaughter increased by 53 per cent.
