Police can't keep up with criminals in Oslo

The Oslo Police District is snowed under by the sheer number of criminal cases in the capital, and only 21 percent of reported offenses were handled last year. Investigators claim they don't have the time, staffing or resources to cope with their workload.
More than 10,000 cases remained in the legal queue in Oslo when 2007 came to a close.
"This is unfortunate for the credibility of and confidence in the police," said Oslo district chief public prosecutor Morten Yggeseth. He added that this trend has significance for the countrys security.
Oslo Police District Union leader Jan Olav Frantsvold said that the refusal to work overtime shouldn't have come as a surprise to the Oslo Police top executives. He says the Norwegian Parliament was warned about the situation 10 months ago.
"This is a vicious circle," explained Frantsvold. The older the cases, the more inquiries we get from the frustrated victims of crime. Many are upset, with good reason, when even cases with known perpetrators are not concluded after many months."

I remember some poll a while back that said Norway had the best standard of living in the world.

While 65 percent of those charged with rape are classed as coming from a non-western background, this segment makes up only 14.3 percent of Oslo’s population.
Norwegian women were the victims in 80 percent of the cases, with 20 percent being women of foreign background.

Round up the buggers and feed them lutefisk. That will put and end to crime asap (but may be considered cruel and unusual punishment)

Police around the world seem to have gone from being peace officers to law enforcment officers who write tickets for city revenue.

I was thinking that too. In fact, I was wondering just how far into the article I would have to read to see an Arabic name....

"Multiculturalism contends that one society is no better than any one else ?" How much longer do we have to pretend that we're all the same?

Tamil Tiger violence in Oslo...
With 33 witnesses and three injured victims in hospital, the Norwegian Police is nowhere near to any arrest of the Tamil criminals who went on a violent rampage in Oslo last Sunday.
In broad daylight Tamils ran amok hacking their rivals with a samurai sword, shooting another and running a car over third Tamil.

The Oslo Police District also is faced with a large number of vacant positions in its legal department tnat have been difficult to fill. Norway's labour shortage and strong economy apparently has hit the police district's recruiting ability. Fully 80 positions, 10 percent of the total, remained vacant last year. Well, if they would only allow more immigration, then they could fill those openings!
Fire in the hole! >duck<
