New police data shows foreign nationals feature disproportionately in violent offences, with sharp regional disparities and rising political pressure.
Germany’s latest police crime statistics (PKS) have reignited the migration debate, with new data showing a stark overrepresentation of foreign nationals in violent offences.
According to the figures, non-German suspects—particularly from Syria and Afghanistan—feature disproportionately in serious crimes. While foreign nationals account for around 15% of the population, their share of violent crime suspects is significantly higher.
The imbalance is especially visible at regional level. In several federal states, including Bavaria, Berlin, and Baden-Württemberg, roughly half of all suspects in violent crimes are non-German nationals, highlighting a widening gap between population share and crime involvement.
The disparity sharpens further when broken down by nationality. In Bavaria, data cited by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) shows Syrians with a crime rate approximately 16 times higher than that of German citizens, with Afghan nationals at around 14 times higher. Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann attributed the trend directly to “high levels of immigration in recent years,” particularly among asylum seekers and individuals without legal residency status.
Sexual violence figures have added to the political pressure. According to reporting by Welt am Sonntag, police recorded 13,920 rape cases in 2025, up 9% from 12,771 in 2024—and a sharp rise from 8,106 cases in 2018.
The federal government has focused on legal reforms, with Justice Minister Stefanie Hubig proposing tougher penalties for the use of date rape drugs. Critics argue this fails to address underlying drivers. Hesse’s Interior Minister Roman Poseck acknowledged that suspects with a migration background are “significantly overrepresented,” linking the trend in part to differing social norms and attitudes towards women.
The figures are likely to intensify calls for stricter migration controls, as pressure mounts on Berlin to reconcile public safety concerns with its immigration policy.
The politicians will try to look surprised.
Criminal invaders not migrants
No! This can’t be. /s
Notice you never hear about migrant violence in Japan?
There’s a simple reason for that.
Immigration is strictly controlled and they only represent approximately 3% of the population.
What a concept right?
In America, blacks murder 6 times more frequently than Whites.
Imagine a population of Syrians that commit crimes 16 times more than locals.
Almost three times more violent than blacks.
Whoa.
This newspaper just made the EU terror watchlist and its editors are probably going to be put on a travel ban and may be brought up on hate speech charges.
Singleness of purpose invaders conquer German civilization.
It’s not a newspaper, but a government-issued bulletin.
Still: enemedia coverup coming in 5,4,3…
The figures are likely to intensify calls for stricter migration control
The use of the phrases “feature disproportionally” and “overrepresented” tell me the direction EU law enforcement is going to go.
Many people maintain that the Great Replacement is a conspiracy theory…
Do a breakout by religion, too. I think you’d find that the “Religion of Peace” isn’t so peaceful.
Only one thing to do. Stop gathering statistics.
Statistics are racist - we all know that /s
East fix.
They just need to count these crimes differently or stop keeping record if folks are migrants.
See - I learned a lot as a bureaucrat!
Well maybe if Germans would go commit some crimes they wouldn’t need to import these foreigners
They are using Arabic numbers against Arabs. Not fair!
The silver lining is that the Government released the figures at all.
Yeah...take a trip to London, UK. It’s on full display.
