Police solve six percent of Sweden's crimes

I was looking up the super bright flash of light that was very recently seen flying over Sweden (at ma's prompting) and stumbled upon this report.. . . Yikes. www.thelocal.se is Swedish news in English FYI The flash of light was thought to be a bolid.

Nearly 95 percent of violent crimes and robberies committed in Sweden go unsolved, and an individual
police officer solves an average of three crimes per year, according to a recent analysis.

Research carried out by TV4’s Kalla Fakta (‘Cold Facts’) investigative news programme also revealed that violent crimes and robberies make up about 75 percent of all crimes reported in Sweden.

Overall, one in seven Swedes was the victim of a crime in 2007

And of the approximately 900,000 crimes reported last year, police solved only 5.8 percent.
