This figure represents an 80% increase over 2014 and works out to around 570 crimes committed by migrants every day, or 23 crimes each hour, between January and December 2015.<\/p>\n<p>The actual number of migrant crimes is far higher, however, because the report, produced by the Federal Criminal Police Office (<em>Bundeskriminalamt, BKA<\/em>), includes only crimes that have been solved (<em>aufgekl\u00e4rten Straftaten<\/em>). According to Statista, the German statistics agency, on average only around half of all crimes committed in Germany in any given year are <a href=\"http:\/\/de.statista.com\/statistik\/daten\/studie\/2303\/umfrage\/entwicklung-der-aufklaerungsquote-von-straftaten-seit-1989\/\" target=\"_blank\">solved<\/a> (<em>Aufkl\u00e4rungsquote<\/em>). This implies that the actual number of crimes committed by migrants in 2015 may exceed 400,000.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the report \u2014 \u201cCrime in the Context of Immigration\u201d (<em>Kriminalit\u00e4t im Kontext von Zuwanderung<\/em>) \u2014 includes data from only 13 of Germany\u2019s 16 federal states.<\/p>\n<p>The report does not include crime data from North Rhine-Westphalia, the most populous state in Germany and also the state with the largest number of migrants. North Rhine-Westphalia\u2019s biggest city is Cologne, where, on New Year\u2019s Eve, hundreds of German women were sexually assaulted by migrants. It is not yet clear why those crimes were not included in the report.<\/p>\n<p>The report also lacks crime data from Hamburg, the second-largest city in Germany, and Bremen, the second most populous city in Northern Germany.<\/p>\n<p>Further, many crimes are simply not reported or are deliberately overlooked: political leaders across Germany have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bild.de\/politik\/inland\/fluechtlingskrise\/ist-die-polizei-wirklich-so-machtlos-44344096.bild.html\" target=\"_blank\">ordered<\/a> police to turn a blind eye to crimes perpetrated by migrants, apparently to avoid fueling anti-immigration sentiments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gatestoneinstitute.org\/7470\/germany-migrants-crime\" target=\"_blank\">Continue Reading Here<\/a>\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>German authorities appear to be covering up the true scale of the migrant crime problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[34,48],"tags":[179,21,181],"class_list":["post-6448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-germany","category-islam-in-europe","tag-germany","tag-immigration","tag-islam-in-europe"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
