29.6% of the country’s violent crimes and 32.4% of rapes are committed by perpetrators from a non-Western background, despite only making up 10.6% of the population.
Non-Western immigrants and their descendants are vastly overrepresented in Danish crime statistics.
Citing numbers from the Ministry of Justice, Berlingske reports that non-Western immigrants, who make up 8.4% of the Danish population, commit 14% of the country’s crimes of aggravated violence and 24.3% of the rapes, judging by number of convicted.
Maybe even more concerning are the figures for second-generation non-Western immigrants. Making up a mere 2.2% of the population, this demographic is responsible for 15.6% of the violent crimes and 8.1% of the rapes.
