"Much higher"
Notably, the murder rate in Sweeden and Finland is a full third below the lowest state in the US. And the US average is about 5 per 100k.

…not for long if things keep going at this rate. In just a few years we’ve skyrocketed from having anongst the least violent crime in Europe to being up there with the Balkan countries - and it just keeps getting worse for every year.

“Much” higher is stretching is. According to Wikipedia, Sweden has a homicide rate of 1.2 per 100,000 in vs 1.1 for Finland.
Meaning it would just take a couple of drunken Swedish guys with a fruit knife to put Sweden ahead.
