- jdiez17 4y agoHave you read the article? Until recent years, "there is no relationship between the scale of refugee inflow and the crime rate". Now there's a (in my opinion) small increase in the probability that a crime is perpetrated by a foreigner, but this seems to be _mostly_ related to the demographics of immigrants: > This was attributed by criminologists to the subgroup consisting of men aged 16–29 is disproportionately large at 34% of the total [number of immigrants] and that young males are overrepresented as criminals in all parts of the world, rather than to their ethnic origin. It seems pretty clear to me that the benefits of immigration outweigh this, as long as the total amount of crime stays at a low level, which subjectively seems to be the case.
- cm2187 4y agoIf you don't think immigration is the source of the majority of the crime in europe, I suggest you watch any documentary on French prisons and look at the inmate. Now there might be many reasons for that, poverty probably plays, etc. But the outcome is fairly obvious.
- jdiez17 4y agoI don't know about France but it definitely is not the case in Germany.
- cm2187 4y agoI am not familiar with Germany but the numbers quoted here seem to suggest it is the case there also: https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13711/germany-immigrants-prisons https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13711/germany-immigrants-...
- wink 4y ago> Gatestone Institute is a far-right think tank known for publishing anti-Muslim articles. From Wikipedia. So no, not even gonna read that article.

- mrguyorama 4y agoSays the guy literally parroting the narrative of a far-right, anti-muslim think tank.
- cm2187 4y agoI don't mind reading all sort of opinions, won't burn my eyes. "I won't read it because it is written by people from a different political persuasion" is a very strange statement to make, and the very definition of a bubble.
