Reports of sex crimes increased in Finland in 2016, according to Statistics Finland.

The statistics bureau has revealed that the number of sex crimes reported to law-enforcement authorities rose by 8.6 per cent year-on-year to 3,400 last year. The number of rape reports rose by 10.3 per cent to 1,172 and that of child sexual abuse reports by 1.9 per cent to 1,260.
Statistics Finland: Sex crimes increased by 8.6% in 2016

A 10% increase in one year is massive. The report placates the findings, saying that this kind of thing is normal, but from my perspective its very abnormal.

What could cause such a thing?

That women feel more comfortable to actually report rape? That police actually take rape more seriously? Changes in law? There are many possible factors.

Hmm. Yes, those are the usual reasons I'd expect. But a 10.3% increase?

Interestingly, Finland pledged to take in 30,000 migrants in 2015, which would affect the crime numbers for 2016. Could this have contributed to the large hike?

Perhaps you should consult your president, who seems very aware of the kinds of conditions that empower men to sexually assault women.
 
didn't know there was a difference between sex crimes and rape.

I get how not every sex crime need be rape, but what is rape if not a sex crime?

As to what could cause any rise in numbers, maybe the OP would simply call spades spades wrt his usual heading of direction.

Ah, better late than never, eh?

Apart from having formed a correlation, anything that would support causation?

It doesn't matter if the uptick in rapes is real or related to refugees at all, you're going to use it as a reason to attack millions of innocent people who had nothing to do with it. It's not about facts or even security with you, only a disgust for muslims.

"From your perspective" says all.

What kind of person spends their time obsessing about Finland's rape statistics? They're not even your wimmin.

How do the rape rates compare with Montana?

Only if the migrants are either the perpetrators, or the victims. Is there evidence that they are?

Me with those pesky numbers again!
Causation would be the more primitive cultures Immigrants are from, as well as Infidel-Hostility, especially against 'promiscuous' western women.
We see [mere?] Correlation everywhere in Europe. Only hate speech laws prevent infinitely more elaborate stats.

Finland's Immigration Crisis

....According to an article published by Finland Today, the Somali community feared that its members would be unfairly labelled as criminals, and racist attacks would increase. However, the article also noted that

"1,010 rapes were reported to the police in 2014, according to the Official Statistics of Finland. The number of suspected immigrants in these cases is about Three times higher than of the suspected natives in relation to the population. There is no unambiguous answer to why this is the case and is yet to be researched."...​

I don't know, but my family has never had anything against Muslims per se. My great cousin was in Arab countries as a diplomat for twenty years. My mother visited regularly and we continuously had houseguests in the house. But that doesn't mean you wouldn't want visitors and immigrants thoroughly vetted. All you need is two percent radicals and you have a vicious problem. Opening the borders like in Germany was either ignorant, grossly negligent or stupid on many levels.

Certainly not spineless European Liberal men. For some folks, hearing of 1,000 migrants surrounding women on New Years Eve in Germany in a horrifying ordeal of sexual assault has piqued our interest. May seem strange to you, but to some of us, an event like that is shocking and reflects poorly on a culture, since it wasn't just one or two assailants but 1,000! Could this recent spike be anything other than Muslims and their track record with women historically and esp. the past few years in Europe, not likely.

Yes a 10.3% increase. You saw a similar increase a decade plus ago in Sweden, when laws and definitions were changed. You are jumping to racist xenophobic conclusions...

Mixing up migrants and refugees again I see..

Oh jeez, it must be the muslim refugees.
 
That women feel more comfortable to actually report rape? That police actually take rape more seriously? Changes in law? There are many possible factors.

And migrants and refugees are some of them.

We see that fake news and laugh at the fearfueled wussies fretting over it.

Are they imported? Refugees and migrants are.

That is only relevant for xenophobes, neo-nazies, ultra nationalists and racists. In reality, the reason that there are rapes... male libido and a male dominated society. Removing all "imported" peoples would not solve the rape problem... not even close.

That sentence alone shows there is no need to confront you with facts you refuse to believe. Plus blaming your own culture for the problems is a good sign that dialogue is useless.
