I actually went through the primary source for this which is where the article gets its figures from. It took a bit of time to find sensible translation for this so i could understand it

It does not actually speak of those who have actually committed crime at all. It shows the accused person by immigration background.

Only a fraction of those accused of crime is actually found guilty. So what the article is actually doing is presuming guilt of crime based on immigrant background on the basis of them being accused.

They are also counting a number of potential offenses from very few suspected individuals/groups and not the proportion of each individual in the population groups as a whole. So 160-380 per 1000 , doesn't mean 160-368 separate individual Somalis, Ethiopians or Iraqis are accused of offenses but only the number offenses , so 1 person can commit/suspected of 50 thefts by himself or a single gang etc

When you see the top 9 nationalities after Somali its all African and Muslim countries.
Outside of obvious social economic factors that might underpin this, like refugee status.
Since this is about accusation/suspecting of crime and not guilt of crime this may rather show systemic factor in law enforcement targeting Africans/Muslims and Somalis being a combo of both , it wouldn't be surprising to that we are at the top of the totem pole for ethnic profiling.
