Deadly violence in Sweden shows contrasting trends according to a new Brå report.

While family-related lethal violence, including partner violence, accounts for a quarter of cases, it remains significantly lower than the European average.

However, lethal gang violence against young men aged 15-29 has surged over the past two decades, making Sweden an outlier in the region.

Notably, spontaneous disputes also contribute substantially to deadly violence in the country.

This report highlights the escalating severity of gun violence, particularly in criminal environments, reaching record levels in 2022.
