Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson has blamed "irresponsible immigration policy and a failed integration" for the violence. He is taking several steps to help stem growing gang activity.
"We're going to hunt down the gangs, and we're going to defeat them," Kristersson said during a televised address on Thursday evening.
The Scandinavian country has been wrestling with rampant gang crime for years. National Police Commissioner Anders Thornberg said it now poses a "serious threat to the safety and security of the country."
"Sweden has never seen anything like this. No other country in Europe is seeing anything like this," Kristersson said.
"Irresponsible immigration policies and failed integration have led us here," he said.
New laws will give police more power to combat gang activity, including wiretapping and body searches in certain areas, harsher sentences for repeat offenders, and double sentences for some crimes.
"We'll put them on trial. If they are Swedish citizens they will be locked away with long prison sentences, and if they are foreigners they will be deported," he said.
"We are going to deport foreigners who move in criminal gang circles even if they haven't committed a crime," he added.
New youth prisons to separate young offenders from adult criminals are also being constructed.

Those wild and crazy Swedes!
What the left has done to the Western world and is continuing to do is absolutely frightening.
“Those wild and crazy Swedes!”
Yep, Ulf, Erikson, and Lars just decided to buy some Stingers from Ukraine and set up a drug dealing operation.
But Sweden’s #3 on the “World’s Best Countries” list for 2023.

Kick out every non white person.
Now you’re Sweden again…
You invite hoards of termites into your home, and now you want them gone because they are eating you out of your home??
Next time JUST SAY NO
“Sweden has never seen anything like this. No other country in Europe is seeing anything like this”
Well, maybe next time you won’t just scoff and laugh at your silly, provincial American friends when they try to warn you.
This may be a planned change to the intended “third way”. They created the problem, now they will address it with the police state that was always the ultimate plan.
“irresponsible immigration policy and a failed integration”
Hey, all those poor Muzzies want is to destroy the present government and establish what the whole world wants ... a Caliphate under Sharia Law
Gee, where did they come from?
Swedes opened their borders to muslims and now are complaining.
My grandparents (mothers side) both immigrated from Sweden.
They left for a reason.
“Well, maybe next time you won’t just scoff and laugh at your silly, provincial American friends when they try to warn you.”
What’s happening here, what we’re letting happen, is 10x worse than the pathetic EU.
They left for a reason.
Winters are warmer in North Dakota, don't cha know?
...........it’s going to take some REAL MEN to close with these gang punks and kick their asses all the way into a jail cell and lock the door.
As far as I know, Sweden has a lot of gays and trannies and dysphoric types raised by a single mom but not many fighters!
Sociologists at the time told us that the racial homogeneity of countries like japan and Sweden gave them a huge advantage over melting pot countries like America when it came to societal peace and harmony
Everybody knew this.
And yet they knowingly imported violent, savage people from war torn countries into their homes
It's insane and they are now reaping the whirlwind for their ill advised actions.
The same saboteurs who flooded Europe with violent, unassimilated “refugees” are currently flooding America with the same
Look up what they did as peace keepers.
I don’t recall if it was in Serbia or Bosnia. When they were attacked, they didn’t turn the other cheek contrary tot he politicians wishes.
The Swedish soldier is trained to operate alone and respond without direction from central authority and contrary to it due to possible Russian hacking.
My fathers mother and his fathers parents came over from Sweden 1885 to 1900 with several siblings. I think they all came over for jobs and to get away from too many family members. Mostly found work in eastern cities. I have visited with a few distant cousins from those who stayed in Sweden. All did well
