The interior ministry reported a large increase in the broader category of “hate crimes”, offences of a racist or antisemitic nature or targeting people because of their religion. They rose 77% to 10,373 from 5,858 the previous year. [...]
De Maizière noted that the number of leftwing violent crimes was even higher than those on the right, rising 34.9% to 2,246 incidents, largely directed against the police. [...]
De Maizière said by far the largest category of crimes committed by foreigners in 2015 were crimes that can only be committed by migrants, such as illegal entry to the country or failure to register with authorities. The number of those offences more than doubled to 402,741 from 156,396 and “distort the picture of security in our country”, accounting largely for a 4.1% increase overall in all offences recorded by police last year, he said. Excluding those offences exclusively concerning foreigners, the overall number was barely changed at slightly over 5.9 million, he said. [...]
The highest number of foreigners involved in crimes were nationals from Turkey, accounting for 13.3% of the total, Romania at 9.4%, Poland at 8%, Serbia at 4.8% and Italy 4.3%.
