Eh, I think better social and economic integration is the key. People with jobs who feel like they belong don't need gangs to fill those gaps in their life.

Gang crime looms over election in Sweden as shootings spread:
One would least expect beautiful Sweden, a quiet/peaceful/serene Scandinavian nation to be that violent.
Could these uncalled-for mad shootings be stopped immediately?
Live is invaluable, it has always been..

Not sure of the relevance of countries' other than Sweden population, but doing some quick math, the US' immigrant population is about 14%, while Sweden's is about 24%.
Hmmm.

It's up to the newcomers to adopt to their host society, not for the host society to adopt to the newcomers. I can't think of a single measure or effort the Japanese govt has made to "integrate" me, a Canadian. But I've done plenty on my own accord to make my life here as enjoyable and prosperous as possible.
Sweden's policy during the Syrian Civil War was to offer asylum to every Syrian that reached its borders. I and some other commentators at the time this policy would create some serious problems. Schadenfreude or what.

The article is about Sweden, and has nothing remotely relating to Saudi Arabia or the UAE population, or a guess of undocumented immigrants in the US.
The point is gang violence is increasing in Sweden. Ands so is their foreign born population.
I wonder if there is a link.

Usually gangs exist because society failed.
