The Somalis seem like the Palestinians of Africa.
That sounds accurate. Although some of the Nigerians could give them a run for their money
62% being involved in any type of crime is outrageous, I agree with that premise
However this phrase is a good example of why you should not take social media posts as accurate or undistorted information "62% of Somali men in Denmark are convicted of a violent crime by the age of 30" is not supported by publicly available research. The actual 62% statistic refers to a small cohort and a broad category of crimes (some violent, many non-violent).
The original summary explicitly lists crimes like theft, vandalism, property crimes, not solely violent crimes. So to restate "62% … violent crime" overstates the original claim.
According to a write-up referencing a report by think tank Unitos (based on data from the Danish Ministry of Justice), 222 out of 357 Somali men born between 1985 and 1987 ( 62 %) had "been convicted of a crime such as violence, vandalism, and theft" before the age of 30. The same report as summarized publicly mentions that these crimes include a mix of offenses: violence, property crime, theft, vandalism, etc. The 62% refers to "a crime" broadly, not necessarily specifically "violent crime."
