Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
Might be worth asking how much of that includes immigration specific crimes. If you've just got a bunch of migrants getting "papers please"d at over and over again, you could see a very large number of criminal accusations that stem from a vanishingly small degree of actual harm.
Should also be noted that German labor law strictly limits which professions and businesses a migrant worker can participate in which they only recently relaxed and only for a small percentage of skilled workers. Consequently, you have a large pool of black market labor that inevitably gets routed into prohibited professions (sex work, drug mule, unlicensed street vending, shady telemarketing and other scam businesses).
So, again, it would be helpful to know if these migrant communities are actually doing violent/financial crimes or whether they're just getting over-policed and under-employed as second class citizens.
This is a police statistic, so the crimes measured are criminal cases, not financial fraud or such. Those are not investigated by the police.
Is illegal residency a criminal case? Is operating a business without a license? I couldn't find that in the article.
