Violent crime rates declined rapidly after Swedish police were given greater authority to crack down on criminal organizations that recruit children to become hitmen despite liberal outcries against the measures.
Middle Eastern drug syndicates in Sweden recruited children as young as 12 years old through social media to carry out assassinations against rival gang members causing a massive peak in gun violence in 2022, the Telegraph reported. The Swedish government granted new enforcement powers to the police in 2024 that civil liberty campaigners condemned and the United Nations called “repugnant and illegal,” according to the outlet.
