Weil am Rhein, Deutschland - yesterday, on June 12th, the federal police inspections in Offenburg and Weil am Rhein carried out a large -scale control campaign on the French border. The aim of this measure was to combat illegal migration and cross -border crime, which particularly affects narcotics, weapons and property offenses. Controllers were positioned at the checkpoints in Neuried Altenheim, Iffezheim and Neuchâtel, while the gendarmerie in Vogelgrun was present on the French side.

A total of five violations of the Residence Act and seven violations of the Narcotics and Weapons Act. The arrest of a French citizen at the Althenheim border crossing was particularly striking, which was sought because of an arrest warrant against him for violations of the compulsory insurance law. In addition to the federal police inspections, the Federal Police Department Bad Bergzabern, the Freiburg police headquarters as well as the main customs offices of Karlsruhe and Freiburg were also involved in this campaign. The German-French unit of the Gendarmerie and the Federal Police also worked closely together.

migration and crime

In the current debate about migration, it is important to shed light on the relationships between migration and crime. Studies show that a small part of the migrants are punishable; However, this part is more likely to be noticeable through crimes than their local fellow citizens. One reason for this is stressful living conditions and the difficult integration conditions that are particularly common among refugees. According to [bpb.de] (https://www.bpb.de/themen/inne-sicherheit/dossier-inereicherheit/301624/migration-und-kriminalitaet- experiences-und-neuer- developments, for example, adult migrants with access to the work market are rarely.

It can be seen that conflicts in shared accommodation or precarious life situations often lead to violent offenses, while crime is generally declining among young people from migrant families. Interestingly, the phenomenon of the above -average crime rate for certain groups of young migrants is often one of the special stresses that they need to endure. In addition, the BPB reports that the majority of migrants and refugees do not become delinquent and that crime usually results from specific, stressful living conditions.

conclusion and outlook

The current control campaigns at the border make it clear that the authorities draw increased attention to cross -border crime and the associated risks. In addition, it is essential to take into account the essential relationships between migration and crime in order to develop adequate measures to integrate and support migrants and refugees. Integration and access to the labor market remain crucial to sustainably reduce the crime rate. Educational institutions play a central role here to enable children from immigrant families to start a better start.
