- Arson, particularly when it concerns car fires, attracts a lot of attention when it occurs. A burning car is a strong visual symbol and pictures of these are often used in media, which further increases the visual impact. Fires lead to huge material costs, and can also contribute to increased insecurity in the community through the signal of disorder sent by an uncontrolled fire or charred vehicle wreckage. This chapter discusses intentional outdoor fires in Malmö, with a particular focus on car fires. More specifically, the chapter will explore levels and developments, possible explanations and motives, and affected locations.

- Gun-related violence in Sweden has increased dramatically since the 1990s, and while the entire country has been affected, the Skåne region and Malmö in particular, stand out. Although a large part of the shootings are directed at buildings and vehicles, more than ten people are killed and injured in the city every year. Violence caused by explosive weapons has also increased both in Malmö and in the country as a whole, and this can be a sign of a breaking trend in serious crime.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In addition to Malmö having the most reported crimes in relation to its population, it is also one of the cities in the country with the highest percentage of gun-related violence. Our earlier studies show that people who commit serious crimes such as homicide or attempted homicide in Malmö are primarily single, have no psychiatric diagnosis and mainly use knives or other sharp weapons to commit their crimes, although guns do cause more fatalities. The victims are usually somewhat older than the offenders and there is often a relationship between them. In fatal knife attacks, the leading cause of death among victims is loss of blood. For victims who are attacked by guns, head injuries are the main cause of death.
