    2021-05-26

    After a long period of decline in gun homicides, this type of homicide started to increase in Sweden from 2005 and has since continued to rise.

These results are presented in a new report from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå), which compares gun homicide across Europe since the turn of the millennium.
