Assuming the description is fair, Larsson earned credibility as someone who worked against racism, anti-semtism, & hate. If someone with his history writes three consecutive novels highlighting violence against women -- and the first novel is titled "Men Who Hate Women" -- then I don't assume he's a Dan Brown or Stephen King whose objective is simply to tell a tale. He has an objective of social activism. It's not naive to then ask what the real statistics may be. I agree with pdurrant that it's not specific to sweden, but Larsson was writing to his native audience about his own country. Please, try not seize on faulty analogies or assume naiveté.

Since this isn't the "Politics and Religion" section, I'll say no more.
Neither will I then. I'll just leave your nonsensical questions to speak for themselves.
