Africans and crime in Switzerland

 

When discussing crime rates by origin in Switzerland, official statistics from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO) often categorize foreigners by their type of residence permit (B and C permits for residents, or those without permits like asylum seekers) and by broader geographical regions rather than specific "ethnicities" like "African."

However, reports and studies do provide insights into conviction rates for groups originating from various African regions. Here's a summary of what the data indicates:

• Higher Conviction Rates for some African groups:

  • According to reports from SWI swissinfo.ch based on FSO data (from around 2018-2020), South West Africans (referring to people from countries like Nigeria, Congo, etc.) have shown some of the highest conviction rates among non-Swiss residents with B and C residence permits, for crimes and misdemeanours. For instance, a rate of 31 per 1,000 for South West Africans, 21.2 for West Africans, and 18.3 for North Africans.

  • These figures are significantly higher than the conviction rate for Swiss nationals, which was around 2.5 per 1,000.

  • Among 18-29 year-olds, men from West Africa were reported to have particularly high conviction rates (e.g., 78 per 1,000 residents in 2014).

• Types of Offenses:

  • Drug offenses are frequently highlighted. West Africans, for example, have been noted to have the highest conviction rate for drug offenses.

  • Studies also point to a disproportionate involvement of certain groups, including some African asylum seekers, in drug dealing.

• Population Without B or C Permits (e.g., asylum seekers, irregular migrants):

  • The statistics look different for foreigners without a B or C permit (e.g., asylum seekers). In absolute numbers, North Africans (e.g., from Algeria) were frequently convicted in this category, followed by Romanians and French.

  • Some studies suggest that a substantial number of asylum-seekers, particularly from West Africa, come to Switzerland with the intention of pursuing petty crime and drug dealing, and that most offenders in this group come into contact with the police within the first months of their presence.

• Overall Trends and Context:

  • Switzerland, like many European countries, has seen an increase in the proportion of offenders of foreign nationality over the years, though overall crime rates in Switzerland have generally been declining.

  • It's important to note that these statistics reflect conviction rates and not necessarily crime committed. Factors like socioeconomic status, age, integration levels, legal status, and specific migratory patterns can influence these figures.

  • Academic studies also discuss that disproportionate offending rates among migrants do not necessarily imply discrimination in reporting or prosecution, but rather complex factors.

In summary, while overall crime in Switzerland has been low, certain groups of African nationalities, particularly from West and North Africa, have shown higher conviction rates in Swiss crime statistics, notably in relation to drug offenses and among individuals with certain residence statuses or without permits.

Cincinnati City Leader Caught Publicly Cheering for Vicious Beating of Whites, Wrote They Had It Coming

 

Our current political paradigm has elected officials unashamedly cheering for violence.

A city councilwoman landed herself in hot water when she applauded the barbarity that occurred in the streets of Cincinnati, Ohio, early Saturday morning.

Councilwoman Victoria Parks wrote via social media platform Facebook in reaction to the violence, “They begged for that beat down! I am grateful for the whole story,”

To drive the point home further — there is no leeway to interpret those comments otherwise — this is an elected official expressing joy in watching a vicious beating take place.

Her comments were screenshotted and later reposted to social media platform X.

Fox News confirmed through some investigation that this is an account belonging to a sitting city councilwoman. (Parks is “nonpartisan”; however, like other council members, she was endorsed by the Democratic Party.)

Ohio Republican Rep. Phil Plummer, who shared the screenshot, called for her resignation, saying, Parks “must resign immediately! Defending violent criminals who viciously beat innocent people is disgusting."

World Athletics introduces SRY gene test for athletes wishing to compete in the female category

 

The World Athletics Council has approved new regulations concerning eligibility conditions to compete in the female category for world ranking competitions.

The new regulations come into effect on 1 September 2025 and will be applied to the World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25 that begins on 13 September.

All athletes wishing to compete in the female category at the World Championships are required to undergo a once-in-a-lifetime test for the SRY gene – a reliable proxy for determining biological sex. This is to be conducted via a cheek swab or blood test, whichever is more convenient.

The testing protocol will be overseen by Member Federations as they prepare their athletes and teams for the Championships in Tokyo. 

Commenting on the new regulations and SRY test, World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said: “The philosophy that we hold dear in World Athletics is the protection and the promotion of the integrity of women's sport. It is really important in a sport that is permanently trying to attract more women that they enter a sport believing there is no biological glass ceiling. The test to confirm biological sex is a very important step in ensuring this is the case.

“We are saying, at elite level, for you to compete in the female category, you have to be biologically female. It was always very clear to me and the World Athletics Council that gender cannot trump biology.

“We particularly want to thank our Member Federations for their support and commitment in the implementation of these new regulations.”

The new regulations follow recommendations from the Gender Diverse Athlete Working Group approved by Council in March 2025. The Working Group spent over a year studying developments in law, science, sports and society concerning gender-diverse athletes and made the following recommendations which were widely consulted on earlier this year:

• Formally affirm the design of and goals for the female category.
• Revise the eligibility regulations so that they are consistent with the design and goals.
• Merge the DSD (differences of sex development) and Transgender Regulations, and, if the effect is to restrict opportunities for DSD athletes, adopt measures to address the reliance interest of those who are currently in the pipeline.
• Adopt a pre-clearance requirement for all athletes competing in the female category.
• Consider forward initiatives, including to support elite gender diverse XY athletes.

The female athlete category is defined in the Eligibility Rule 3.5, which states that only the following athletes may compete in this category:

a. Biological females.

b. Biological females who have used testosterone as part of male gender-affirming treatment further to a Therapeutic Use Exemption granted in accordance with World Athletics’ Anti-Doping Rules may not compete in the female category until the passing of a period of time after their last use of testosterone (the period of time will be not shorter than four years and will be determined by World Athletics on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all relevant factors including the timing, duration, dosages and effects of the male gender-affirming treatment)

Nova política de migração da Dinamarca prepara o terreno para uma reflexão a nível da UE

 

A Dinamarca reorientou o debate sobre a migração, adotando regras muito restritivas apresentadas sob o prisma de uma política progressista, e agora quer que a Europa faça o mesmo.

Quando se trata de migração, a Dinamarca mal consegue esconder o seu sentimento de vingança.

"O que tem sido a corrente dominante entre as nossas populações durante muitos anos é agora a corrente dominante também para muitos de nós, políticos", disse a primeira-ministra Mette Frederiksen no início deste mês, no Parlamento Europeu em Estrasburgo. "Finalmente".

O ministro da imigração dinamarquês, Kaare Dybvad, sente-se igualmente triunfante. "Lembro-me que quando ocupei este cargo, há três anos, o ministro austríaco era o único que apoiava estas ideias", disse Dybvad numa entrevista à Euronews.

"Agora parece que há muitos mais países que se uniram em torno da noção de que devemos ter um controlo democrático dos fluxos migratórios."

Durante anos, a Dinamarca foi considerada a ovelha negra da política de migração da União Europeia. No rescaldo da crise migratória de 2015-2016, o país começou a adotar regras cada vez mais restritivas com o objetivo de dissuadir as chegadas e dificultar o acesso a salvaguardas legais, uma decisão impulsionada pela sua cláusula de exclusão do quadro de asilo da União Europeia.

Em 2019, a Dinamarca aprovou uma lei de "mudança de paradigma" que fez da proteção temporária dos refugiados a nova norma. A tónica passou a ser a autossuficiência para estimular a integração no mercado de trabalho e reduzir a dependência da segurança social. A residência permanente continua a estar disponível, mas sujeita a critérios rigorosos em matéria de emprego a tempo inteiro e de longa duração.

Ao limitar a duração do asilo, as autoridades dinamarquesas tornaram mais fácil verificar se os motivos de proteção continuavam a ser aplicáveis e, em caso negativo, se a deportação era viável.

A Dinamarca tornou-se o primeiro país europeu a declarar partes da Síria como "seguras", alegando que a situação no terreno tinha "melhorado significativamente". A decisão, que levou à revogação das autorizações de residência de centenas de refugiados sírios, revelou-se extremamente controversa e fez manchetes internacionais.

Em 2021, a Dinamarca assinou um memorando de entendimento com o Ruanda. Nos termos do acordo, transferiria os requerentes de asilo para um centro de acolhimento no país africano para aguardarem a análise dos seus pedidos.

Esta foi a primeira vez que um Estado-membro da UE adotou abertamente uma estratégia de externalização. A Comissão Europeia, que tinha criticado duramente um esquema semelhante entre o Reino Unido e o Ruanda, reservou-se o direito de intentar uma ação judicial.

"O tratamento externo dos pedidos de asilo levanta questões fundamentais sobre o acesso aos procedimentos, mas também sobre o acesso efetivo à proteção, em conformidade com as exigências do direito internacional", declarou um porta-voz da Comissão em 2022.

Um ano mais tarde, a Dinamarca abandonou o plano, mas manteve o princípio. Em vez de procurar a externalização a nível nacional, o país pretende ir mais longe: a dimensão europeia
