Germany: Violent Crime Rates Among Syrian and Afghan Migrants Over Ten Times Higher Than Native Germans

A newly released crime assessment from Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office (Bundeskriminalamt, BKA) has once again brought alarming trends to the forefront. The comprehensive 2024 “situation report” on crime linked to immigration highlights a striking over-representation of foreign nationals—particularly Syrians and Afghans—in categories involving serious and violent offenses.

According to data published by Bild, the analysis examines criminal activity “in the context of immigration” and reveals a stark disparity between German citizens and certain migrant groups. For every 100,000 German residents, 163 were recorded as suspects in violent crimes. In sharp contrast, the rate for Syrians reaches 1,740 per 100,000, an increase of more than 1,000 percent. Afghan nationals are close behind, with 1,722 suspects per 100,000.

Earlier investigations, including those referenced by Remix News, indicate that age cannot account for this discrepancy. Although migrants are often younger on average, young Germans exhibit significantly lower involvement in violent or criminal behavior. In fact, recent patterns show that German youth are becoming increasingly law-abiding compared to previous generations.

These findings carry additional weight considering that Syrians and Afghans were originally admitted into Germany under humanitarian grounds, portrayed primarily as refugees seeking safety from war. However, the data suggests that a considerable number within these groups have been implicated in offenses ranging from violent assault to sexual crimes and drug-related violations.

The report further demonstrates similar disproportionality in areas such as sexual offenses and narcotics crimes, reinforcing concerns about elevated crime risks associated with certain foreign populations. Overall, non-German suspects now represent more than 40 percent of serious crimes, despite comprising only 16 percent of Germany’s population, underscoring the magnitude of the issue.
