Denmark may be a small country, but it publishes the most fascinating crime statistics in Europe: convictions by origin (β citizenship).
π Hereβs a summary in 12 striking visuals of these figures accumulated over 10 years β¬οΈ
A quick preamble:
π The most "astonishing" visuals are 2, 3, 8, and 12
π Definitions, e.g., "Western origins," are provided at the bottom of the illustrations
π Useful links can be found at the end of the thread β¬οΈ

1β£ In Denmark, offenders are categorized by origin rather than nationality.
π Immigrants and their descendants (i.e., children) account for 40% of convictions for homicides, rapes, and violent robberies, despite making up only 12% of the population β¬οΈ

2β£ Children of βnon-Westernβ immigrants are even more involved in delinquency than the immigrants themselves.
Here are the conviction rates, revealing the failure of assimilation:
π’ βNativeβ Danes: 2.6%
π Non-Western immigrants: 5.1%
π΄ Their children: 5.9% !!

3β£ The more violent the aggression (excluding crimes), the higher the conviction rate of descendants of non-Western immigrants compared to their parents.
π Up to 2x higher for attempted homicides, with a rate FIFTEEN TIMES that of "native" Danes β¬οΈ

π The "rebellious" sentiment also increases from one generation to the next.
Descendants of non-Western immigrants have a conviction rate nearly 3 times higher than that of their parents' generation for "offenses against public authority."

4β£ With more detailed granularity, Danish data highlights specific origins that are particularly involved in crimes and offenses, as shown on this map: Maghreb, Near and Middle East, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Africa β¬οΈ
5β£ Conviction rates vary significantly by origin. Taking βnativeβ Danes as the baseline (1), the following conviction rates are observed:
π Maghreb: 3
π Rest of Africa, Afghanistan/Pakistan: 2
π Western Europe: 1 (same rate as native Danes) β¬οΈ

6β£ The gaps are even greater when it comes to physical violenceβ¬οΈ
π The conviction rate for individuals of African origin in assaults is 5 to 7 times higher than that of "native" Danes!
But that's not all... β¬οΈ

7β£ The conviction rate for individuals of Sub-Saharan African origin for rape is a staggering FOURTEEN TIMES higher than that of "native" Danes.
π Maghrebi and Afghan/Pakistani origins are also notable, with rates around 8 to 9 times higher β¬οΈ

8β£ Frequently requested, statistics on tax fraud do exist in Denmark.
π They reveal that Maghrebi and Pakistani individuals are particularly overrepresented in this type of offense, with conviction rates 4 times higher than those of "native" Danes β¬οΈ

9β£ The figures for "serious tax fraud" confirm the trend.

π Finally, have you ever wondered who stole your bike?
π Danish statistics provide a clue: while "native" Danes remain the majority of offenders, individuals of African and Romanian/Bulgarian origins are significantly overrepresented β¬οΈ

1β£1β£ What is the impact of the higher crime rate among individuals of immigrant backgrounds on overall crime and offenses?
π A simple calculation shows it accounts for no less than 20,000 convictions annually β¬οΈ

1β£2β£ Over the past 10 years, immigration has had a decisive impact on crime trends in Denmark:
π The conviction rate among native Danes has been declining, which should have led to a reduction in the number of convictions.
β Yet, this has not been the case... β¬οΈ

π The combined increase in the immigrant-origin population AND its conviction rate has led to a rise in the number of convictions for crimes and offenses β¬οΈ
π If you have any doubts, as always, I encourage you to go directly to the official sources listed at the bottom of each visual. The Danmarks Statistik portal is available in English, and extracting data is straightforward.

β οΈ Of course, crime and delinquency existed long before non-European immigration.
π Individuals of immigrant backgrounds remain a minority among the convicted, just as the convicted are a minority among those with immigrant backgrounds β¬οΈ

However, Danish data once again illustrates the link between immigration and insecurity.

π¨ Furthermore, it is crucial to consider that the challenges of assimilation do not concern only immigrants but also (and perhaps especially?) their descendants, as evidenced by their higher conviction rates β¬οΈ
These two facts should necessarily be considered in debates about the regularization of undocumented migrants in sectors facing labor shortages.
A temporary solution to a workforce issue could contribute to insecurity for decades to come.
