72% Of Danish Gang-Crime Convicts Have Non-Western Background, Justice Ministry Data Shows
24th October 2025
A government report has revealed that nearly three-quarters of all people convicted under Denmark’s “gang section” are immigrants or descendants from non-Western countries.
And just which were those countries, hmmmm?
The figures, released by the Ministry of Justice in response to a parliamentary question from Conservative MP Mai Mercado, show that between 2018 and 2025, a total of 213 people were convicted under Section 81a of the Criminal Code — a clause allowing courts to double sentences if an offense is likely to provoke gang violence.
The response, seen by Remix News, presents data compiled by Statistics Denmark and the Attorney General, showing that 54 convicts were of Danish origin, 36 were immigrants from non-Western countries, and 117 were descendants of non-Western immigrants. That means 72 percent of all convictions under the gang clause involved individuals with non-Western roots.

Researcher Lars Højsgaard Andersen of the Rockwool Foundation said that several countries — including Iraq, Turkey, Somalia, and Lebanon — stand out in the statistics, suggesting that cultural attitudes toward law and authority may play some role.
Uh, those are all MUSLIM countries. That MIGHT have something to do with it.
