The German government has released statistics revealing that foreigners are disproportionately represented in numerous crimes compared to the native population. Notably, there is a significant disparity in street crimes and shoplifting.
Previously, the German government did not distinguish crime data based on ethnic origin, which inflated the crime figures for German citizens.
The new data was released following a parliamentary inquiry from AfD domestic policy spokesman Martin Hess, who requested detailed information on crime rates among foreigners, broken down by nationality and age group.
The data comes from the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) and is reported in their Police Crime Statistics (PKS). It examines the Suspect Burden Number (TVBZ) for various demographic groups. This figure is calculated by taking the number of suspects older than 8 years, multiplying by 100,000, and then dividing by the number of inhabitants aged 8 and older.
Statisticians, when measuring the TVBZ of specific groups, take care to exclude foreign tourists, illegal immigrants, and cross-border commuters, ensuring that the figures are representative of the resident population. Immigration law violations are also excluded from the data set.
For German suspects across all age groups, the TVBZ is 1,878. In contrast, Syrian suspects have a TVBZ of 8,236, and Afghan suspects are at 8,753.
The data is alarming when compared among young people. Syrians between 14 and 18 years old are five times more likely to commit a crime than Germans in the same age bracket.
The difference becomes even more pronounced among groups of young people from North Africa. Algerian youth exhibit a TVBZ rate that is an astronomical 56 times higher than that of Germans. For Moroccans, it is 19 times higher.
There were also notable differences among different offense categories. Street crime, which includes offenses like bodily harm, robbery, sexual harassment, and pickpocketing, has a TVBZ for German suspects at 168. For Syrians and Afghans, the figure is nearly eight times as high, with 1,291 and 1,218 respectively.
The TVBZ data dismantles the leftist argument that foreigners commit high rates of violent crime simply because they are mostly young males. The data reveals that German suspects within the same age brackets have drastically lower crime rates.
Germany’s welfare state provides food, shelter, and consumer goods to foreign youths, so the “crimes of desperation” argument also falls flat.
Hess’s reaction to the data: “This is the predictable result of a migration policy that has completely failed for decades and has given up all control since 2015.”
