Criminal statistics: psychiatrist assigns violence to non-German suspects

Foreigners commit significantly more crimes than nationals. However, the state and state-based organizations repeatedly beautify the problem. Their statements hardly stand up to a review.

The number of young suspects and non-German suspects has increased in 2024. Experts explain the connection to psychological stress.

The government is trying to explain why crime among migrants is so high. Experts are skeptical.

In terms of population, there are significantly more foreign suspects than German suspects, according to the new criminal statistics. But the figures are to be enjoyed with caution. What do experts say?

For years, non-Germans have been overrepresented in criminal statistics, but that does not mean that they commit more crimes than Germans. "The results are distorted," says criminologist Susann Prätor, explaining why.

According to experts, police crime statistics are a distorted picture, among other things because it captures suspects and uncondemned criminals. Rights abuse them for their political agenda.
