Last time Sweden released an official study they were very over-represented. The numbers for the following groups are the rate compared to natives, 1 means that they would commit the same amount of crime as Swedes:
Västasien (West Asia) 3.7
Nordafrika (North Africa) 4.6
Östafrika (East Africa) 3.5
Övriga Afrika (Rest of Africa) 5.2
(The numbers written in the study had native swedes at 0.8 so I multiplied these numbers by 1.25 to normalize it)
Nothing since then has shown that the rates have changed, so you can assume that they are still valid. Everybody knows that these groups are over-represented and that accepting immigrants increases crime, that isn't really a part of the debate. You can argue why they are over-represented, such as poverty and discrimination, but not that there are more criminals among them.
Anyhow, wrt America, even the worst right wing propaganda doesn't show our African immigrants committing as much crime as African Americans, so the Swedish model seems to work at least somewhat.
