Trends in criminal activity since the 1990s[edit]
Studies in the early 2000s tended to show little correlation between migrants and crime in Germany.
[13][14]
From the start of 2015 to the end of 2017, 1356600 asylum seekers were registered in total.
[4] According to a 2018 study by German criminologists, the crime rate of non-Germans between the ages of 16 and 30 is within the same range as that of Germans.
[15] In May 2016, U.S. fact-checker
Politifact suggested that, as crimes by immigrants rose 79 percent in 2015 and the number of refugees in the country rose by 440 percent, the crime rate among refugees was lower than that among German natives.

In November 2015, a report by the Federal Criminal Police (BKA) stated that "While the number of refugees is rising very dynamically, the development of crime does not increase to the same extent." the report noted that refugees
Kosovo, aus
Serbien and
Macedonia were overrepresented and Iraqis were underrepresented. The report did not contain representation for refugees from North Africa.
