On the topic of violent vs. non-violent: What this statistic completely fails to take into account is that violent protests on average have much more radical demands/goals. So their demands are much less likely to be met from the start because of the nature of the demand.
Also: what does success mean? Often times, non-violent protests are met with delay tactics and empty compromises until they’ve died down, only for the protested thing to happen anyway. It could be that the 26% have a much larger percentage of their goals met.

This post is a classic case of correlation is not causation.
