Former UK police officer here, I did a training course with the Germany police in 2018 in Koln, their crime stats were shocking, especially burglaries, in a siilar size area they had in a day what we had in in a week. The stats they showed us said it was all down to immigration, and those "German" offenders were nearly all Turkish, Albanian or similar descent.

[@RichelieuUnlimited]

Suspects, not offenders. The majority of burglaries are never resolved, so there’s no reliable data pointing to migrants being responsible. The fact that most that are caught are migrants could also be linked to the way the police investigate.

[@oktoberfest2140]

What is completely forgotten to mention here is that the german crime statistics are not statistics about crime in germany per se, but rather statistics about german police work. I'll try to explain what I mean by that now. At the beginning of each year, the police set certain priorities, e.g. more focus on left, right, migration-related, internet fraud, etc... Logically, the statistics on recorded offenses go up when the focus changes. This cannot and should not be ignored. That's what pretty much every scientist who studies these statistics says. Again, these statistics are not a direct representation of crime in Germany, but rather a testimony to the police work carried out in Germany. The whole thing is called Police Crime Statistics (PKS in germany), but for some reason people in Germany believe that these are actual crime statistics, which is simply not the case. Incidentally, these statistics also include cases that were reopened, i.e. a crime could have happened in 2010 but is only now listed as solved. In addition, many crimes are missing from these statistics, such as crimes such as state security offenses, administrative offenses, traffic offenses and offenses that are not part of the police's remit, such as financial and tax offenses. For this reason, customs and tax crimes, which are usually reported and processed directly by the public prosecutor's office, are also missing from the PCS. Another very important point is that the PCS does not reflect the number of crimes committed in a year, but rather those that were investigated by the police. This means that every year the PKS contains numerous cases that may have occurred the year before or even earlier. Even a crime that could not be solved because no perpetrator was identified is included in the PCS. If, on the other hand, it turns out in the course of the police investigation that a suspicion cannot be substantiated, i.e. that there is no crime at all, the report will not be included in the PCS. Overall, only around 30 percent of all suspects are convicted. However, all of these results are no longer included in the PKS. It cannot therefore be compared with statistics from the judiciary, such as the criminal prosecution statistics from the Federal Statistical Office. I think this information is important to really understand these statistics.

It isn't the state's job, but it is the state's job to not actively make it harder to integrate. I worked at a convenience store that also handled immigration papers (just Finland things) during the start of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine during which time lots of Ukrainian refugees came to my city. The city shoved all of them into a suburb that was an hour bus ride from the actual city with no resources, no hospital, no bank, and an already extant drug crisis among the locals. If you put a large amount of people into the exact environment that locals become criminals too, don't be surprised when the people you shoved into the criminal factory also become criminals.

Obviously it's because of immigration. I don't know why the host even hesitates here, the data is absolutely clear, and he showed some of it. What he failed to mention is that not only are immigrants without German citizenship overrepresented in violent crimes, but among the German citizens committing violent crime, a disproportionate number of them are also immigrants or their descendants. Denmark has data on the origin of criminals, and as you would expect, Danish people and most European immigrants have a low crime rate while Muslims and Africans have an extremely high crime rate. This is the same pattern throughout Europe. Regarding the absurd talking point that this is due to lack of integration. No, it's not. It is due to the lack of selective immigration. If you select your immigrants well, then you can avoid having a criminally inclined immigrant population, but if you don't select your immigrants well, because you let anyone come and live in your country, then you are going to have problems with criminally inclined immigrant populations. Sweden is the best example of this, they let huge numbers of low quality immigrants into their country, and now they are suffering the consequences. Think of it like this, which country has been successful in integrating large numbers of unselected Africans and Muslims? The answer is none. No country in Europe or the rich world has done this, the US has different immigrants and more selective immigration. No one even knows what integration would mean in this situation. How is a country supposed to integrate such alien populations in such large numbers? There's no way to do that.

But the reality is clearly in favor of the left wing explanation. Studies have clearly shown that migrants are more likley to be in poverty, studies also have shown that poor people are more likley to commit crimes, the data shows that crimes are going up even with germans. Everything points to more people falling into poverty resulting in more people doing crimes. It is actually more likley that migration is slowing down that process, but that is not really proven by studies so im not using that as an argument.

SPD, Grüne, Volt, Linke, etc., just won't admit the problem since it goes against their views on migration. CDU/CSU allowed so many unskilled migrants into the country, and now they are complaining, but under Merkel, they were the ones who did this! I love Germany very much, especially Munich, but I absolutely hate the fact that this issue is likely to get worse. I wish the SPD would find someone like Helmut Schmidt again!

Same dilemma here in France, only to a much more advanced degree

[@mikicerise6250]

We need a secular party that understands that an unsafe country can never be a free country, and that understands that we like our cultures and values, we want to keep our hard won social freedoms and will stop the peacefulization of our societies. In every European country. It's so frustrating to have nobody I can vote for anymore. I'm a secular social democrat and both the right wing and the left wing now are at the beck and call of clerics. It's maddening. We have no voice in Europe anymore.

Be a man, vote for the right

Merkel is no longer in charge so you can vote for CDU alternatively you might consider AFD but they suck I get it. German politics suck, I get it. I'm Polish, it isn't much better over here. We can vote for corrupt socialist which is PiS, your loyal dog Donald Tusk, the Left which is obviously the worst, Third Way which is essentially voting for Tusk, or confederation which is kinda like AFD but not quite. I'm voting confederation cause they got a few good leaders and I'm done with other parties but I see that they're deeply flawed as well.

Who would’ve guessed this would happen, right? You made your bed, now you lie in it 🤷🏻‍♂️

And if we analyse what foreiners are responsible for those crimes it will show that its not the legal european migrant the responsible

[@lautaroaguilar9584]

Sad that Germany did this to itself.

I refuse to believe anyone here even has to watch the video to know the answer XD
