The 9,350,000 inhabitants of Sweden reported 1,410,000 offences to the authorities in 2009 (approximately 151 offences/1000 inhabitants). The number of reported crimes have increased radically since the collection of national statistics began in 1950. Much of this has been attributed to a higher level of reporting of crimes, but the largest factor is the absolute increase of incidents of crime.
