So, which were the areas that were included in the completely made up "no go zones", and which are the areas that apparently have live grenades lying around the streets, and gang warfare?

The fact that crime rates across the country are low internationally speaking isn't relevant to the discussion at hand, and actually enhances the notion of a "no go zone". If I have a choice to live/work/play in a whole country that's incredibly safe, or restrict myself to a couple neighbourhoods where crime is exceptionally high, the latter becomes and even stronger "no go zone".

The thing is, even WITHIN the most dangerous areas of the most dangerous cities, homicide is comparatively extremely low to many american cities( St-louis, detroit, or even DC.)

 

It’s called a bad neighborhood. Why invent new terminology just for Sweden?

That's actually the point I made in the post just above this one. Even in the US, crime is concentrated to a handful of blocks in most cities.

The reason why I used "no go zone" is because many people refuse to acknowledge there's an issue. Frankly, I wouldn't use it if it wasn't for how quickly people jump on it. Bad neighborhoods ARE no go zones, and refusing to acknowledge their existence for the sake of politics doesn't solve anything.
