Yes. No, traffic violations is a different law. Penal code covers stuff likes violent and property crimes, as well as misc stuff like fraud.

Do these convictions usually come with jail time? If so, Denmark must be a virtual prison colony which I doubt. Something about these numbers are off.

Most penal crimes just give you a fine, or short sentence (like 8 weeks).

Guideline here states that e.g. a typical bar fight with fists will give you 30 days prison. https://www.domstol.dk/hjoerring/raadgivning/typiskestraffesager/vold/Pages/default.aspx …

So 17 percent of native born Dane males born in 1987 have engaged in conduct egregious enough to result in an arrest and conviction of some sort? Either an iodine shortage in 1987 or my impression of Denmark is really off.

Conviction, not arrest.

Granted I’m not familiar with the Danish legal system, but in the US if you were actually convicted of something in the penal code of some jurisdiction you were arrested at some point, or you might have turned yourself in.

Penal code includes minor theft, fraud etc. These don't get you arrested.

Danes are fairly low crime people. Maybe you don't realize just how criminal young men in general are? If you went to any normal school, you likely know quite a few people with random convictions for stealing, fraud, bar fights and the like.
