In a revealing study, Stockholm has emerged with a notably higher rate of youth gang involvement compared to its Nordic counterparts, including Helsinki and Turku. Approximately one in six young individuals in Stockholm is associated with a gang, a proportion that significantly exceeds the less than ten percent observed in Helsinki and Turku. This distinction places Stockholm in a unique position among other Nordic cities surveyed, including Næstved, Randers, Gävle, Oslo, Reykjavik, and areas outside Reykjavik in Iceland.
