The statistic also states that 85% of Germany’s population are ethnic Germans. If true, that would mean that the foreign population (15%) is responsible for 41% of crimes
As the other commenter pointed out, they make up a much smaller fraction of the population and are still involved in a disproportionate amount of the overall committed crimes.
While those numbers undoubtedly disregard a variety of circumstances and factors that might affect the statistic, such as the possibility of race based prejudice causing foreigners to be easier suspected and in consequence investigated, it shows a very worrying trend over the last decade that likely contributed to the disastrous recent European election results.
Your post says 41% of crimes committed are foreigners. That means 59% are committed by citizens.
So isn’t OPs statement that foreigners commit less crimes than locals still true?
