from your source:
- "Different countries have different definitions of rape. These statistics are highly misleading. "
- "The definition became more inclusive in 2005, 2013 and then again in 2018. BRÅ concluded that non-rape sexual crimes decreased accordingly. "
- "In the mid-2010s, there were between 5,000 and 7,000 reported rape cases per 100,000 population, higher than many European countries largely because of the way rape is defined in Swedish law, with under 200 convictions per year. In 2018, Sweden passed a new law that criminalizes sex without consent as rape, even when there are no threats, coercion, or violence involved. Sweden no longer requires prosecutors to prove the use or threat of violence or coercion. This led to a rise in convictions of 75% to 333."
- "The biggest increase, the aforementioned seven-year span, was 2002 to 2009, which you'll notice is years before the war in Syria and the recent wave of migration."
