According to a report published by the portal RMX News based on official data from the German Ministry of the Interior, Young Algerians living in Germany commit crimes at a rate 56 times higher than that of young Germans.. The study, which analyses the criminal behaviour of the population aged 14 to 18, also highlights the overrepresentation of Syrians and Afghans in the crime statistics.
Alarming data among young foreigners
The report uses the new TVBZ index (Taxa de sospitosos segons grup de població), which allows the presence of minors as suspects in crimes to be compared according to their nationality or origin.. While the average rate among German youths is 1,878 suspects per 100,000 inhabitants, Syrian youths reach 8,236 and Afghans 8,753.
This new statistical system aims to provide a more accurate picture of juvenile crime in Germany, as it adjusts the figures according to the size of the population group. The offences analysed include theft, assault, vandalism, property crimes and other serious offences.
Algerian youths are the group with the highest proportional crime rate.
The case of young people of Algerian origin is particularly noteworthy: Their crime rate is 56 times higher than that of German youths.. This imbalance has set off alarm bells within the government and has reignited public debate on migration and integration policies.
The authorities emphasise that these figures are based on police records of suspects, not on court convictions. Nevertheless, the scale of the data reflects a worrying trend among certain groups.
Significant differences by nationality
The data indicate that, in the 14 to 18 age range, Syrians record a rate of 8,236 suspects, and Afghans, 8,753, compared with 1,878 suspects among young Germans.. In the case of Moroccans, the rate is 19 times higher. These figures include crimes such as theft, assaults, street violence and sexual harassment.
The differences are also notable in specific crimes. In the category of street crimes —which include assault, robbery, pickpocketing and sexual harassment—, the TVBZ rate for Germans is 168 suspects per 100,000 young people, whereas for Syrians it rises to 1,291 and for Afghans to 1,218, almost eight times higher.
German nationality but foreign origin
One of the most debated points of the report is that Many suspects registered as “Germans” actually have foreign origins., a fact that is not reflected in the official statistics, as Germany does not collect information on the ethnic or family origin of German citizens.
For example, according to data from North Rhine-Westphalia, In cases of gang rapes, at least half of the German suspects had foreign-sounding names, such as Mohammad.. During the New Year's Eve riots in Berlin, a list of names was leaked that revealed that many of the suspects with German nationality were not of ethnic German origin.
Furthermore, according to a senior Berlin prosecutor, Up to three out of every four members of criminal clans have a German passport.. Therefore, crimes committed by naturalised citizens are recorded as «German delinquency», which distorts the statistical reality.
The usual explanations do not justify the differences.
One of the most common myths in public debate is that Young foreigners commit more crimes because they are young men., the demographic profile at highest risk. But according to the TVBZ data, Even when comparing young foreign men with young German men, the difference remains extreme..
What is clear is that the lack of data on the true origin of offenders—especially naturalised ones—prevents an accurate understanding of crime patterns, and this complicates any rigorous diagnosis or effective policy.
