Data analysis: Do non-German nationals commit more crimes than Germans?

3 days ago by You to c/germany

People without German passports appear more frequently in German police crime statistics than German nationals. A new study explains why.

I wonder what the likelihood of committing crimes is for AfD-voters and AfD-politicians vs. voters/politicians of other parties.

Given how every accusation from right-wingers is a confession, I wouldn't be surprised to find a significant chunking of them among sexual predators (rapists and/or pedos).

It's also a known fact that many AfD politicians used to be neonazi thugs, so violent crime is pretty much a given.

Given that most of the world’s people are non-German, it’d be surprising if they didn’t

TL:DR: Police statistics say that Non-germans commit more crimes, but the study finds that this is in part because crimes committed by Germans are less likely to be reported.

US had these stats making the rounds 10 years ago. Right wingers loved to say X amount of the population does Y amount of crime. Then you dive into the numbers a little and its because charges against minorities are less likely to be dropped, their neighborhoods patrolled more heavily, etc.

Crime happens everywhere, but it isn't enforced evenly. When you decide who you prefer to arrest, you can make the numbers say whatever you want.

Exactly - I look german and I never was checked by police in the public. I have crossed international borders hundreds of times and never was checked at all. Miganty looking persons are constantly checked and searched. I could have smuggled so much stuff all this time...

This, plus people are less likely to call the cops on people they know.

I am an American who looks German. If the police so much as asked me a question, it’d be obvious I’m not German. I’m almost never asked a question. In the rare occasions that I am, I never have problems.
