So what are the statistics for sauna-on-sauna crime? Sauna-related violence is unheard of here in the United States. Do saunas serve as a deterent to those that would use saunas against other saunas?

Seriously speaking, "personal sauna" is the more common thing than a public one. I don't have statistics, but I'd say most Finnish houses have a sauna in them, both in the countryside as well as in cities. It's not considered a luxury. Saunas exist even for tenement apartments, in addition to the public ones found on them. And a summer house isn't a proper summer house without one.

Really? I thought it was just a stereotype. I had no idea that they were that common in Finland.
