New statistics alarm CDU politicians: “The Greens and FDP are making it as easy as possible for criminals”. 41 percent of all suspects - i.e.

all people who have been reported or against whom proceedings are ongoing - are foreigners. People of non-German origin disproportionately often live in poor economic conditions, which paves the way for theft crimes in particular. “Experiences of violence, for example while fleeing, can also lead to increased potential for violence,” said the SPD politician.
