'Migrants fuel' German violent crime rise
The report used statistics from Lower Saxony - regarded as an average state - where police saw an increase of 10.4% in reported violent crimes in 2015 and 2016.
Based on figures from the state's interior ministry, which keeps a separate record of alleged crimes by migrants, the report suggested that 92.1% of this increase was attributable to migrants.
Lower Saxony has seen a significant increase in arrivals of migrants in recent years.
However, the researchers also said that a third of all victims of violent crimes by migrants were other migrants.
