Migrants may be responsible for most of a recent rise in violent crime in Germany, research commissioned by the government suggests.
The study used data from Lower Saxony, a state where more than 90% of the rise was attributed to young male migrants. This group is most likely to commit crime, irrespective of nationality.
The researchers also said that migrants were twice as likely to be reported to police for alleged violent crimes as German nationals.
The report used statistics from Lower Saxony - regarded as an average state - where police saw an increase of 10.4% in reported violent crimes in 2015 and 2016.
Based on figures from the state's interior ministry, which keeps a separate record of alleged crimes by migrants, the report suggested that 92.1% of this increase was attributable to migrants.
In the Lower Saxony figures, 17% of crimes attributed to migrants were suspected of being committed by North Africans.
This group, makes up less than 1% of the state's migrant population.
Germany: Migrants 'may have fuelled violent crime rise' - BBC News
What do we say now? After repeated assurances that the migrant crisis wasn't going to have negative implications, even the BBC is reporting how out of control the situation has become.
Time to start calling people bigoted is my guess...
