๐ Less known than Sweden for its immigration issues, Norway also has its share of striking statistics regarding immigration and crime.
Let's deep-dive in this new thread ๐งตโฌ๏ธ
Immigrants and their descendants are overrepresented among crime suspects in Norway.
While they make up 19% of the population, their share of suspects is very high:
๐ฅท 27% of all offences
๐ช 34% of violent offences
๐ฎ 28% of breach of public order
๐ 30% of traffic offences โฌ๏ธ
๐ And this is not about immigrants being younger than the native Norvegian population.
Look at the numbers for the 15-24 men: immigrants and their descendants are still significantly overrepresented โฌ๏ธ
๐ Certain citizenships are particularly overrepresented among those suspected of crimes and offences (e.g., Africa).
๐ In contrast, populations from many countries (e.g., East Asia) exhibit suspect rates comparable to or even lower than those of Norvegians โฌ๏ธ
Let's look at violent offences specifically.
We see here the same pattern as for overall crime data โฌ๏ธ
๐จ These statistics highlight an alarming observation:
๐ The descendants of immigrants are even more involved in violence than the immigrants themselves โฌ๏ธ
๐ This is especially true for descendants of African immigrants.
A marker of particularly difficult integration โฌ๏ธ
๐ Here are the crime rates of young men aged 15 to 24 implicated in acts of violence based on their origin:
๐ธ๐ด For every 1,000 young Somali immigrants, there are 270 implications.
๐ซ๐ท For every 1,000 young French immigrants, there are only 15 implications โฌ๏ธ
๐ The same observation applies to descendants of immigrants: populations from Africa and the Middle East are particularly involved in acts of violence โฌ๏ธ
To conclude, let's look at the rates of young immigrant men implicated by origin, for different types of offenses.
๐ In the total of crimes and offenses, Somali immigrants stand out clearly, followed by Syrians and Afghans โฌ๏ธ
๐ In thefts, Somali immigrants dominate significantly, with an implication rate 5 times higher than that of native Norwegians born to parents born in Norway โฌ๏ธ
๐ In acts of violence, Somali immigrants are once again far ahead, followed by Syrians and Afghans.
It is worth noting that Filipino immigrants have a lower implication rate than "natives" โฌ๏ธ
๐ But for sexual offenses, it's different. This time, it is Afghans who stand out particularly โฌ๏ธ
๐ Surprising data: In road offenses as well, Syrian and Afghan immigrants are particularly overrepresented, while Filipino immigrants are underrepresented! โฌ๏ธ
๐ These observations will not surprise you if you have already read my threads dedicated to the overrepresentation of immigrants in certain countries, such as in Denmark โฌ๏ธ
Denmark may be a small country, but it publishes the most fascinating crime statistics in Europe: convictions by origin (โ citizenship).
๐ Hereโs a summary in 12 striking visuals of these figures accumulated over 10 years โฌ๏ธ
A quick preamble:
๐ The most "astonishing" visuals are 2, 3, 8, and 12
๐ Definitions, e.g., "Western origins," are provided at the bottom of the illustrations
๐ Useful links can be found at the end of the thread โฌ๏ธ
1โฃ In Denmark, offenders are categorized by origin rather than nationality.
๐ 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 โฌ๏ธ
๐ Did you know that African immigrants are 8 times more likely to be implicated in crimes than German citizens in Germany?
Iโve analyzed more than 10 million data points spanning 5 years on suspects' profiles in this must-bookmark thread ๐งตโฌ๏ธ
1โฃ INTRODUCTION
๐ด Foreigners are overrepresented among those implicated in crimes in Germany.
While they make up 13% of the population*, they represent a significant share of offenses.
๐ช Homicides: 42%
๐ Rapes: 37%
๐ Assaults: 32%
๐๏ธ Burglaries: 39%
*2017-2021 average
๐ Certain citizenships are particularly overrepresented among those implicated in crimes (e.g., North & Central Africa).
๐ In contrast, populations from many countries (e.g., East Asia) exhibit crime rates comparable to or even lower than those of Germans โฌ๏ธ

THREAD: Shocking statistics on the profiles of those implicated in gang rapes (GRs) in Germany
๐ Over the period 2016-2017 (latest available figures), foreigners accounted for 12% of the population but 67% of the suspects of GRs!

Foreword : I already did a German version of this thread available here ๐
The overrepresentation of Afghan and African immigrants is truly surreal.
๐ They make up barely 1% of the population, yet account for 34% of those suspected of GRs.
