The number of criminal suspects has decreased between the years 2007 and 2018, this applies to both domestic and foreign-born.

Most suspects are domestic-born with two foreign-born parents followed by those who are foreign-born.

The new figures are based on a study from Brå, the Swedish Crime Prevention Council, which was published on Wednesday.

The groups' different risk of becoming a criminal suspect depends, among other things, on their age.

Among foreign-born and domestic-born with parents who were born abroad, there is a higher proportion of younger people.

Young people are also generally suspected of crime to a greater extent than older people.

- When we compare the different groups with the reference group, which consists of domestic-born people with two domestic-born parents, we see that the excess risk remains at approximately the same level in 2018 as in 2007, says David Shannon, unit manager, Brå, in a press release.

But the reduction in criminal suspects does not apply to all crimes.

Drug offenses have increased in all of the groups that Brå investigated.

Suspected violent deaths have also increased in the group of native-born with two foreign-born parents.
