Recent statistics from Bavaria, Germany, have highlighted a significant over-representation of non-Germans in crime rates across the state. According to the data, 39.6% of the 266,390 suspects in crimes last year were non-Germans, despite them comprising only 16% of Bavaria's population, indicating an over-representation by a factor of 2.5. This has sparked a debate on the impact of immigration on security, with Bavaria's center-right Interior Minister, Joachim Herrmann, attributing the spike in crime to the increasing migrant population. Herrmann's comments have echoed concerns about uncontrolled immigration's negative impact on security. The issue has drawn attention to the need for more detailed crime statistics to investigate the correlation between immigration and crime rates in other regions.

The catch is that we have no idea what % of jurisdictions… https://t.co/LLgTadRwHi
A standard response to complaints about immigrant crime is that the migrant murder rate is is lower than the native born rate. (Of course, the trick here is that few Americans know that blacks accounted in 2021 for 60.4% of known murder offenders & 55.0% of homicide victims.)
