Increase in rate or increase in number of cases? Because I've only seen the latter and that is addressed. More people means more crime. If 6.5% of men are rapist, I should expect 1,000,000 Syrian immigrants in Germany to mean Germany has about 65,000 more rapists than they had before.

Sweden has a wider definition of rape thanks to a 2005 law. Between 2003 and 2010, the number of cases tripled. 

Quote:"But the major explanation is partly that people go to the police more often, but also the fact that in 2005 there has been reform in the sex crime legislation, which made the legal definition of rape much wider than before."

The change in law meant that cases where the victim was asleep or intoxicated are now included in the figures. Previously they'd been recorded as another category of crime.

Also, suggesting that I am saying that we should "let 'em in because we already have a problem with rape" is a straw man. I didn't say that. You know I didn't say that because you're capable of reading ( I assume).
