In the Wiki chart, crime is up. It looks flatter than it is because all crimes are charted on the same scale. Sexual offenses go from 90-ish to 170-ish. That's almost double in 20 years. If it were really just a difference in how they keep score.....the line wouldn't be so gradual. there would be a steep increase in the year the rule changed, and then go flat from there.
It doesn't show crime, it shows reported crime. I just posted you the convictions, which show a 23% drop in rape in the past 10 years, and a 10% drop in all crimes.

I'd say lack of integration. There are fairly heavy requirements on many jobs for swedish language proficiency, and not all foreign education or diplomas are regarded as sufficient. It is harder for an immigrant to land a job, and this leads to problems.
