The German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) published crime figures in its annual situation report this week...."Crime in the Context of Immigration."
So the question is...what role do immigrants play in crime in Germany? The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) says....they make up almost nine percent of all suspects.
In 2024, there were a total of 1.97 million suspects, 697,000 of whom did not hold German citizenship, and 172,000 of whom were immigrants according to the BKA definition (8.8 percent of all suspects).
If you are in the midst of a German group conversation on crime....it's about a 99-percent chance of this being aggravating conversation....with most shaking their head over what can be done.
Toward the end of the Merkel era....they hired up 10,000 more police billets for the whole of Germany. There might be another 10,000 more police added (under Merz), but I seriously doubt this can resolve the problem.
This past weekend....near the fitness studio in Wiesbaden where I go....there's a gas station. Some 'kid' (noted age 15, but no nationality).....showed up....waving a pistol, robbing the station and ran off toward the city park with roughly 500-to-700 Euro. Clerk gave a description to the police....20 minutes later....they cornered him in the park.
It's not the wild-west...like you'd see in Atlanta....but it's something that you didn't see 20 years ago.
