""Non-Germans are, on average, significantly younger than Germans," says the expert, adding: "Young men are a demographic group that frequently stand out for their involvement in criminal activity, not only in Germany but worldwide.""
""Studies show that people perceived as foreign are more likely to be reported to police," Prator adds. According to a 2024 study by the Criminological Institute of Lower Saxony, non-Germans were reported nearly three times as often as Germans."
In Germany, over a third of crime suspects are non-German citizens, despite only 16% of the population lacking German citizenship. Susann Prator emphasizes that age and gender are critical factors in criminal activity, with young men being the most likely demographic to engage in crime. She notes that non-Germans are often younger than Germans and are reported to police at a much higher rate. Prator advocates for studies on unreported crime to better understand the context and causes of criminal behavior.
