Regulatory body proposes directive to safeguard workers from harmful radiation exposure risks.

In recent times, the number of criminal offenses in Germany has seen a significant rise compared to the previous year, with approximately 6 million offenses recorded last year. Of every 100 suspects, 40 are foreigners, according to the Federal Criminal Office (BKA).

This increase may be influenced by various factors such as rising prices, the COVID-19 pandemic, and rapid immigration. Integration problems, such as overcrowding in communal accommodations leading to more criminal offenses, have been linked to rapid immigration.

Criminality among children and young people has also increased, with the COVID-19 pandemic leading to problems for this demographic, particularly due to social isolation. The higher incidence of violent crimes is a cause for concern.

The BKA, a part of the German police, investigates particularly serious criminal cases. It also ensures effective cooperation between police forces from different federal states in Germany and organises cooperation with the police from other countries. However, it does not have a direct role in the integration of immigrants.

The opposition party CDU has called for stricter rules for immigration, while the Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser, has suggested measures to address criminal offenses by foreigners, such as faster deportations, faster court proceedings, and harsher penalties.

Integration in the context of politics involves discussing how Germany should handle immigrants and how they can become part of society. While the Interior Minister has addressed criminal offenses, she has not directly addressed integration issues.

It is important to note that the Interior Minister who stated in the year of the cited statistics that foreign perpetrators account for 40 percent of suspects and that court proceedings and penalties must be faster and harsher is not explicitly named in the provided search results.

The BKA attributes the increase in numbers to the factors mentioned above, but the exact relationship between these factors and the rise in criminal offenses remains a topic of ongoing discussion and research.
