Whilst there aren't government statistics on this topic, there have been repeated correlations in studies between overrepresentation in crime and migrant status (split on continent of origin, not the US-centric "race" concepts of "white", "black" etc. which don't exist here. The correlation isn't based on ethnicity either). In the Swedish political debate, this correlation (to migrant status) 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. Migrants and Crime in Sweden in the Twenty-First Century. Soc 57, 9โ€“21 (2020). https://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" or ethnicity. The question is answered with regard to the Swedish context & situation.
