German data shows that Syrians are 11 times as violent as Germans, while Afghans are 14 times as likely to be perpetrators of serious sexual offenses as Germans. Overall, foreign suspects in violent crimes, at 41.1 percent, and serious sexual offenses, at 39.6 percent, are unfathomably massively overrepresented, that is raising massive issues for German society.
The PKS data from 2025 shows that non-German suspects remain significantly overrepresented in violent crimes across Germany, with a particular focus on suspects from Syria and Afghanistan.
According to Christoph de Vries (CDU), the parliamentary state secretary in the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the is clear from the so-called suspect burden figures (TVBZ).
“The TVBZ in the area of violent crime is almost eleven times higher among Syrian citizens than among German citizens,” de Vries told Bild. “In serious sexual offenses, Afghans lead the way with a burden figure that is around 14 times higher than among German citizens.”

While total recorded violent crimes saw a slight decrease from the record levels of 2024, the demographic breakdown of suspects presents a starkly different trend according to individual state reports.
While foreigners make up 15 percent of the general population, they are massively overrepresented in serious crimes. In states including Bavaria, Berlin, and Baden-Württemberg, the survey on violent crimes indicates that nearly one in two suspects is now non-German. These figures originate from the Police Crime Statistics (PKS), which, while not accounting for final judicial convictions, serves as the primary “benchmark for assessing the security situation.”
What also cannot be denied is that after decades of mass immigration, many of the German suspects are German citizens with a foreign background, a topic Remix News has routinely reported on. For example, many of the most criminal groups in Germany, clan gangs, which are frequently Turkish, Kurdish, and Lebanese groups, often feature a membership that has 75 percent German citizenship, despite all of these groups having a migration background in the Middle East. Every time one fo these members commits a crime, it is listed as a “German” in the crime statistics, creating a highly misleading picture.

Bavaria
In Bavaria, overall violent crime decreased by 4.5 percent last year, yet the proportion of non-German suspects continued its upward trajectory. Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU) highlighted the role of “suspected immigrants,” a category including asylum seekers, protected persons, and those without a right of residence. Herrmann noted that there is a “clear connection with the high immigration in recent years.”
Federal Criminal Police Office data, which calculates suspects per 100,000 inhabitants, shows that the statistical burden of non-German suspects in Bavaria is roughly four times higher than that of German nationals overall.
Remix News reported last year that foreigners are responsible for nearly half of sexual assaults, robberies and violent crimes.
The disparity becomes even more pronounced when examining specific nationalities. According to the PKS data, Syrians have a statistical burden approximately 16 times higher than Germans, while for Afghans, it is 14 times higher. Turkish nationals also show a significantly higher rate of suspicion compared to German suspects.
These findings have sparked sharp debate within the German government. Alexander Throm (CDU), the domestic policy spokesman for the Union parliamentary group, argued that the high proportion of foreign suspects highlights a critical “need for further action,” asserting that the deportation of serious or habitual offenders “must be a priority.”
Clara Bünger of the Left Party argued that factors such as age, gender, and the social situation of the suspects must be taken into account. However, as Remix News has reported in the past, when broken down by age, it shows that foreigners are also vastly more violent and capable for serious crimes than German youths of a similar age. In fact, the data shows that Germans are becoming more peaceful with each passing year. Meanwhile, foreigners are becoming more and more violent.
Other left-wing parties attempted to generalize the issue away, citing overall violent trends in society. Irene Mihalic of the Greens called for a strategy focused on a “comprehensive fight against the causes of violence.” Due to the Greens policy of mass immigration over the previous years, many voters, however, are starting to see the situation differently. A recent poll found that
