Outrage for foreign crime: Zoff around May Thi Nguyen-Kim's analysis!

Deutschland - A storm of outrage sparked Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim in her latest Maithink episode with the title "The Unpleasant Truth behind Racial Theory". In clear words, the science journalist criticized the common discussion about "foreign crime" in German talk shows. According to the Nguyen-Kim, it is simply racist to think of this topic only of Syrians or Afghans. But the statistics of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) spoke a different language: in 2022 Syrian citizens with 108,748 crimes became the most common group of perpetrators, followed by Romanians and Afghans. These figures led to an increase in total crime by 5.5 percent, even 17.8 percent according to Apollo-news.net .

nguyen-kim's reasoning brought her no friends among statistics: she disparaged the police crime statistics as "police suspicious statistics" because they only represent suspected cases, but not the nationality. This representation is, soberly, misleading, since several nationalities in criminals with double nationality remain unmentioned. A look at the figures from 2022 shows a clear overrepresentation of certain nationalities in crimes. An exciting discrepancy; While Ukrainians provided 35.3 percent of the refugees, they only committed 6.5 percent of the crimes. Questions remain open to what Nguyen-Kim's ingenious analysis should really take into account.
