Crime of refugees: no cause for dramatization



The danger of changing into a sufferer of crime has not elevated considerably as a result of inflow of over 1,000,000 refugees. Nonetheless, there are problematic developments.

Formally, Germany isn't as secure because it has been for many years: in accordance with police crime statistics (PKS), the variety of crimes is on the lowest degree since reunification.


In line with a research by LKA Decrease Saxony, that is accompanied by a comparatively low concern of crime: in 2017, only one.9% of respondents stated that they had a "excessive" concern of crime. The eleven % stated it was "fairly excessive". In distinction, 82.5% of respondents acknowledged that their concern of changing into a sufferer of crime was "relatively low" (41.6%) or "low" (40.9%). Nonetheless, in 2015 solely 8.8% had a "relatively excessive" or "excessive" concern of crime, so total the proportion of these affected was barely larger.


AfD: immigrants are responsible of crime


For the AfD it appears clear who's accountable for this concern: felony immigrants. Within the social gathering's press stories, which have now been evaluated by a gaggle of researchers, refugees dominate as leaders. The alleged or truly dedicated crimes are clearly over-represented within the stories: for instance, about 72% of stories concern violence (PKS's share of complete crime: three %) and nearly 19 % are murders (PKS share: Zero %) , 04 %).


Felony offenses towards sexual self-determination play a task in roughly 14% of AFD relationships (PKS share: 1%). However property and property crimes reminiscent of theft, housebreaking, theft and fraud additionally seem more and more within the AfD (14 %). Total, it gives the look of a world and on a regular basis risk.



German suspects fall beneath the desk


Within the PKS the Germans characterize 65.5% of all of the suspects, about 34.5% are non-Germans, 8.6% are immigrants. Within the AFD stories, nevertheless, the proportion of German suspects is simply 2.5 %. And even then, specifically, instances are mentioned the place German citizenship from the perspective of the AFD appears solely formally, for instance, if somebody is known as "an individual of German origin from Iraq".




Class "immigrants" within the PKS


"Immigrants" means the Federal Felony Police Workplace (BKA) within the PKS rejected asylum seekers and people whose procedures are nonetheless operating, contingent / civil struggle refugees and people who find themselves illegally in Germany. This definition due to this fact differs significantly from on a regular basis use. Visitor staff, acknowledged asylum seekers or EU migrants usually are not expressly designated.






When you take a look at the full inhabitants and examine it with the immigrant group, that is a lot youthful, principally male and socially worse than the resident inhabitants. Within the group of those that utilized for asylum in Germany for the primary time between 2015-2018, in accordance with the BAMF, 73% have been beneath 30 and 65% have been male. Criminology, that is vital, as a result of younger males, no matter origin and tradition, are essentially the most delinquents.


Relationship between sufferer and perverted perpetrator


The AfD, alternatively, at all times certifies the non-German authors of a refusal of origin of the whole authorized system. They're characterised by "a complete lack of injustice and unimaginable violence", he says for instance. And: "There are at all times German victims and immigrant authors".


In line with a research by the criminologist Christian Pfeiffer, nevertheless, the victims of violent crimes dedicated by immigrants are typically non-German: intentional killings have been "over 90 % of refugees or different non-Germans". For harmful or severe accidents, it's 75 %.


Immigrants overrepresented in sexual crimes


Within the sexual offenses of immigrants, German victims truly dominate about two-thirds. The criminologist Tatjana Hörnle concludes that the group of male immigrants has dedicated much more sexual violence than their German friends:



The variations within the suspect load issue (TVBZ) are so nice from minor deviations […] they might not get rid of. The speculation that immigrants commit sexual acts to the identical extent as German males of the identical age should be rejected.





Suspect fee


The so-called suspicious load issue (TVBZ) expresses how most of the 100,000 members of a selected group turn out to be suspected of a (explicit) crime.






In line with Hörnle and different consultants, each cultural elements (pronounced conventional masculinity within the nation of origin) and direct experiences of struggle and violence play a task. Different vital elements are the usually precarious social state of affairs, particularly these whose residence standing is unsure in Germany. Household associations and the presence of girls cut back the propensity to crime and the attitude of conservation.


No cause for fastened fee


Nonetheless, Hörnle additionally states that "neither the full variety of deeds nor the variety of suspects are appropriate for dramatization". Though the variety of suspects is "considerably larger than the German male inhabitants" for male immigrants, solely 0.15% -0.2% of all male immigrants aged 16 and over is suspected of being sexually assaulted. Because of this, over 99 % usually are not conspicuous on this regard.



It's indeniable that over 1,000,000 new arrivals, even youthful, extra masculine, poorer educated and considerably poorer than the resident inhabitants - and infrequently traumatized by struggle and flight - commit crimes. Nonetheless, given the low complete variety of severe crimes, criminologists don't have any cause to dramatize or add suspects.
