"Police in Skåne in southern Sweden will shortly begin publishing pictures of criminal suspects on the police website, a practice that may soon be adopted all over the country.

The risk is not just that the police publish pictures of innocent people, but moreover that there are consequences for the ability of convicted criminals to rehabilitate themselves in society, according to professor of criminology at Stockholm University, Jerzy Sarnecki.

The real problem is that practically none of them are going to have blonde hair and blue eyes.

“The vast majority of them are going to be named Mohammad and many of them will be from Malmo.”

Stockholm, the largest city in Scandinavia, is three times larger than Malmö (2 million inhabitants compared to 600 000 ones).

Mohammad/Muhammed is a very common name in Stockholm too..
