As we know, the notion that migrants commit a lot of crimes is a far-right fantasy, which bears no connection to reality.

That’s what the sophisticates believe anyway, but it’s not what the data show.

For the record, this excludes violations of immigration law, so it doesn’t explain the disparity.

Also, foreigners are mostly European immigrants, whose crime rate is presumably about the same as Germans.

Thus, for immigrants who come from outside Europe but aren’t asylum seekers, the ratio is probably much higher.

Think about that the next time you hear a feminist talk about the evil of German rape culture.

Foreigners are ~4.8 times more likely to commit murder, asylum seekers ~10.6 times.

In the case of gangrape, the ratio is ~10.3 for foreigners, and a whopping 42.7 for asylum seekers!

Again, when it comes to rape culture, German men clearly have a lot to learn from recent arrivals!

These figures are based on people investigated by the police, so bias could play a role.

Perhaps victims are more likely to report committed by immigrants and/or police more likely to investigate.

But the disparities are way too large for this to explain more than a small fraction.

Moreover, many of the victims of immigrants are probably immigrants themselves, and immigrants are presumably less likely to report.

So it seems unlikely that, in general, crimes committed by immigrants are more likely to be reported.

It’s possible that police is more likely to investigate crimes committed by immigrants/asylum seekers.

But given how the ratios vary depending on type of crime, such a bias, if it exists, is unlikely to be very large.

This kind of bias would presumably be more obvious for less serious crime, because there is less at stake so cops are freer to act on bias.

However, looking at the data, the opposite seems to be true. Disparity is much larger for murder and rape than for non-violent crime.

The fact that immigrants skew male and young is no doubt part of the story, but there is no way it explains all of it.

It's also of dubious relevance: if you have been raped, you don't care whether it's because your assailant was male & young or an immigrant.

Same remarks for socio-economic status and other variables associated with crime beside nationality and immigrant status.

People aren't sociologists, what they care about is whether immigration increases crime, not *why* it does.

It's easy for the sophisticates to protest that it's immoral to reject people because they are poor, uneducated, etc.

They know it's not on their neighborhoods immigrants will be dumped. Generosity is cheap when it comes at the expense of other people.

Now have a look at these statistics again and compare them to how the media talks about this issue. Do you notice anything? Yeah, me too...
