Having a Swedish wife and lived in Sweden, I started to examine the Swedish statistics relating to sex crimes, and I found them... problematic, to put it mildly. Put simply, it appears that the instances of 'sexual abuse' have been 'hyped upwards' to comply with a political agenda. Now, this is a hugely complex and controversial subject to get into, and it's probably foolish of me to even mention it, because people have an emotional response to certain types of crimes which fit into a view they have of society and the relationship between the sexes. I haven't studied the UK statistics and the way certain acts are defined and classified... sorry. But I'd be surprised if they are any more reliable than those in Sweden. All I'm saying is that one needs to be careful and sceptical about the UK numbers too, only to do so in the current gender political climate, is like sticking one's head into a lions den.
