Why Are Refugees Disproportionately Likely to Be Suspects in Sexual Assault Cases?
The Local ^ | 26 September 2017

Posted on 09/27/2017 4:45:56 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Criminal statistics in Germany have shown that asylum seekers are suspects in rape and sexual assault cases at a rate higher than their representation in society as a whole. Experts discuss the problem. The Bavarian interior ministry released figures earlier this month showing that 11 percent of all suspects in sex crimes in the first half of 2017 were people who had come to Germany seeking asylum.

This followed national figures from 2016 which showed that reported rape and sexual assault rose by 12.8 percent compared to the previous year. Of the 6,476 total suspects over 800 were asylum seekers, a figure much higher than the relative number of refugees is German society. In the same figures 38.8 percent of all suspects were not Germans, with suspects most likely to be Turkish (15.1 percent), Syrian (9.2 percent) or Afghani (8.6 percent).

“The first factor, which people generally are happy to forget, is the difference in how people report crimes,” argues Christian Pfeiffer, a criminologist at the Crime Research Institute of Lower Saxony.

“Locals are reported less for crimes than strangers because people feel more threatened by strangers.”

A second important aspect is age. Men under 40 are fundamentally more prone to violence and this age group is particularly highly represented among refugees. Around 40 percent of asylum seekers from North Africa are young men.

“These young guys are the most dangerous in every country,” says Pfeiffer.

“It doesn’t matter what religion they belong to, men need to learn to control their potential for aggression,” agrees Maggie Schauer, a psychologist at the University of Constance.

This process can take time, she adds.

“In western societies we have a completely different way of living together and a different way of being socialized as in majority-Muslim countries. These cultures can clash against one another.”

Pfeiffer explains that suspects in sexual assault cases are more likely to come from macho cultures “which is true of a substantial number of the people who have arrived as refugees.”

He argues that German authorities need to place much more emphasis on this issue in integration courses.

“Unfortunately there is no special attention placed on this,” says Nora Brezger, who works with refugees in Berlin. She bemoans that fact that some integration courses don't address women's rights at all.

“We need to be much more open about this. We still deal with it as if it’s a taboo,” says Schauer.

A third factor in the high rates of sexual assaults among asylum seekers can be hopelessness.

“Violence prevention is about offering chances. These people also need chances back home. If we make that an attractive option, then we will also feel more security here in Germany,” he said, recommending that the government invest €1 million in return programmes for failed asylum seekers.

Getting the better of high criminality among migrants is a winnable battle, Pfeiffer emphasizes.

“We have followed young Poles, Russian Italians, and Turks who live in Germany over a number of years, and looked at how their criminal statistics have changed - in all these groups criminality sank."

"So those who say that everything can only get worse, that is completely untrue.”

It is not that they are refugees it is who the refugees are.

Differences in the evolution of their respective civilizations? Some are still in the Neanderthal ages, where Og simply clubbed Ms. Og over the head and dragged her back to the cave for some whoopee. Others have matured slightly beyond that point. In America, women hire lawyers to club men over the head and drag them back to the courtroom to get raped.

Here we go. The same kind of garbage analysis that leads to societal chaos and the acceptance of lawlessness in the name of providing opportunity for people who use that opportunity to commit crimes.

Well, I think mainly because infidel women are all considered whores, to be used and abused by the muzz for not being, well, muzz, and therefore expendable. There’s plenty of historical proof why the white slave trade was so intently practiced by muslim raiding parties on the Mediterranean and through out the fringes of Europe, because they wanted white European Christian women as their concubines. Still do, and as long as white, European, Christian (Formerly?) men don’t do much about it, then it will continue. Kill a bunch of muzz men who practice their filthy trade, make them disappear, and I think the balance of these rapist cowards will get the message. Then kick them out of your country, pronto. And don’t wait for the politicians, who’ve been bought off by Arab money with large piles of money in Swiss bank accounts, to help. They’re your enemy, get used to thinking that way. The sooner the better.

When you bring in refugees, you bring in their culture. Somebody should think a lot harder about that fact.

The behavior of the “refugees” is very similar to the behavior of ISIS Jihadi when they took over Syrian towns

Sexual assault is a traditional tool used by Jihadi to intimidate conquered populations to submit to Islam

The refugees consider themselves a conquering force in Europe and the are just asserting their dominance and working to intimidate the Europeans into submission before their new masters

It's working and the PC Europeans are seemingly strangely powerless to resist

There might be a reason that in their homeland a woman can’t go out of the house without a male relative tagging along.

Well let’s see, refugees are women, children, and amputees. Hard to imagine them causing this much trouble!

Islam doesn’t teach self control, equality or respect for others. It teaches that women are worth less than men and raping infidel women is permitted.

Wow. So glad that was explained clearly. The refugees are being scapegoated again! If they hadn't committed the rapes, I'm sure Native Born German men would have done the same exact thing.
