German Report Links Migrants To 69,000 Crimes

Description

According to a police report, migrants in Germany committed or tried to commit some 69,000 crimes in the first quarter of 2016. The report could raise unease, especially among anti-immigrant groups, about Chancellor Angela Merkel's liberal migrant policy. There was a record influx of more than a million migrants into Germany last year. Concerns are now widespread about how Europe's largest economy will manage to integrate them and ensure security. The report said absolute numbers of crimes committed by Syrians, Afghans and Iraqis were high but given the proportion of migrants that they account for, their involvement in crimes was "clearly disproportionately low." The three groups are the biggest of asylum seekers in Germany. The report stated that the vast majority of migrants did not commit any crimes.
