The connection between mass immigration and crime is clear, even if it is not openly discussed. While crime statistics usually only look back a few years, NIUS shows this connection since Merkel opened the border.
It is shown in an area that is central to people's sense of security: crimes against sexual self-determination. This includes sexual harassment, rape and sexual assault. In Hamburg, almost half of all suspects do not have a German passport. But it's not just the proportion of foreigners that is disproportionately high. There is also a temporal correlation between crime increases and immigration. The number of crimes against sexual self-determination has more than tripled nationwide.
The dramatic trend is also reflected at the city level. In Hamburg, crimes against sexual self-determination have also increased since 2014: by 240 percent from 2015 to 2023.
Even if the topic continues to be taboo, it is clear that uncontrolled mass immigration from countries where women's rights are not in good standing correlates with an increase in crimes against sexual self-determination. These graphics show this clearly.
