What to Look For in the Nordic Model

QUOTE
The Nordic nations, and Sweden in particular, are seen by many as the proof that it is possible to combine innovative and entrepreneurial economies with high tax rates. It is often argued that nations such as the US can gain the attractive social features of Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland — such as low crime rates, high life expectancy, and a high degree of social cohesion — simply by expanding the welfare state. An in depth analysis, however, shows that this line of reasoning is flawed.

The sexual assault statistics list Sweden 4th and the USA 57th. The intentional homicide rate in Sweden is 1.0 per 100,000 people but 4.1 in the USA. It just depends which crime you're talking about.
