A report released by the (Oslo) police on Wednesday states that all assault rapes during last year were committed by men with a non-Western origin. All the reported rapes during the last 5 years are done by men with a foreign origin. Police inspector Hanne Kristin Rodhe says the perpetrators often are unemployed, have been asylum-seekers during the last five years and come from a traumatized environment. She adds that their perception of women can be one of the motives behind the rapes.
Another woman reported a sexual assault during the night in Oslo, just two days after four women were raped in Oslo during a five-hour period on Saturday night. Police are investigating whether the same rapists may be involved in all four of Saturday’s cases... In all four cases, the assailants spoke broken English or Norwegian, or both.
A FOREIGN student who sexually assaulted seven victims claimed he was upset at the way Australian women dressed and behaved, a court has heard. Libyan masters student Almahde Ahmad Atagore, 28, was this morning jailed for at least three years over the assaults in August and September last year. He had been in the country only a month, on a sponsorship funded by his government. But County Court Judge Margaret Rizkalla said Atagore wasn’t prepared for the cultural differences and felt isolated and depressed... Judge Rizkalla said he struggled to adapt to Australian life, without a mosque nearby and with little support... But Sen-Det Dion Achtypis said outside court that Atagore’s nationality was not a factor in his crimes. ''There are many, many overseas students in this country who are law-abiding citizens,” he said.
The translation here is not great, which created part of the problem. The 100% figure actually refers to assault rapes (ie where someone is attacked and then raped). There were 86 of those over the last five years. There were 189 rapes last year in Norway. Looking at the original report on this, 65% of these were (suspected) by foreigners (although in Norway this can mean second generation in their statistics) and the only breakdown I could find of the foreigners stated that 20% were African, 15% Middle Eastern and 14.5% Asian (15% European??). The victims were 70% locals - 30% not. These figures are for last year only, but match data from a previous study closely enough to suggest a consistent trend. So delete 100% and say two-thirds. Also worth noting that this means the majority of rapes are committed by Norwegians as the largest represented group.This is not a new issue in Norway. As far back as 2001 there have been reports showing similar percentages (June 2, 2011)
