Do you have data to prove that asylum seekers and immigrants from these countries commit violent crimes more frequently per capita than white men? I would love to see it but I doubt it’s existence. I believe it only exists in conspiracy theories. Also it puts doubt on your argument when you assume someone’s gender and religion when debating them online, even sarcastically.

Whilst there aren’t government statistics on this topic, there have been repeated correlations in studies between overrepresentation in crime and foreign origin (split on continent of origin, not ethnicity or the US-centric “race” concepts of “white”, “black” etc. Those don’t really exist here). In the Swedish political debate, this connection is considered to be fact, regardless of position on the political spectrum. However, opinions on causality still differ. Below you’ll find a citation to a 2020 study on the topic for your reading. During the last period of study (2013-2017) it found that a majority of total crime in Sweden was tied to 1st-, 2nd-generation & undocumented migrants. According to this study, the overrepresentation was even higher in serious crimes such as (attempted) rape, sexual offenses, assault & robbery. Adamson, G.

Soc 57, 9–21 (2020). doi.org/10.1007/s12115-019-00436-8 Feel free to share if you find more recent studies on the topic of crime & national origin in Sweden. I try to keep up to date on the topic. EDIT: Made extra sure to clarify that this has no connection to “race”.
