Tassi di detenzione: i cittadini nati all’estero sono sottorappresentati nell’anglosfera ma sono sovrarappresentati in Europa

One of the biggest discrepancies that this financial times article talks about is the incarceration rates of foreign-born nationals in mainland Europe vs the Anglosphere (US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, and Ireland)

In each country in the core Anglosphere, foreign-born nationals are under-represented relative to their total share of the population among local prison populations. In addition to not being in prison as much, immigrants in the UK, Ireland, Australia, and the US, on average, provide a net positive fiscal boost to each local economy as foreign-born nationals often contribute more to the economy than what they receive from the government.

The children of immigrants are also performing better in the Anglosphere. In the UK, Australia, Canada, and USA, children of immigrants from all ethnicities earn more than their immigrant parents’ generation did, and on average, by the time the second generation reach adulthood, they are more educated and earn more than your average Brit, American, Canadian, Aussie, and Kiwi.

However in Europe, the opposite is true. Foreign-born nationals are over-represented in each selected mainland European country relative to their total share of the population among local prison populations. In addition to being in prison more often, immigrants in France, Belgium, Sweden, and the Netherlands are, on average, net recipients of government spending meaning they receive more money from the government than they put in.

The children of immigrants are also performing worse in Europe. In France, and Germany, children of immigrants earn less than their immigrant parents’ generation did, and on average, by the time the second generation reach adulthood, they are even more economically disadvantaged compared to your average European than their parents’ generation were.

There is a vast difference in population between these countries that could have an impact on the percentages.

What year is that from? It seems a bit outdated. In Austria, around 23% of the population was born abroad. In 2018, the figure was 19%.

There are 111 person with unknown citizenship, 1902 from EU countries, 3212 persons from outside the EU and 4675 Austrian citizens in prison. I don’t know if there are any statistics on foreign-born offenders in prisons; I think it’s differentiated by citizenship.

Approximately 0.06% of Austrian citizens are in prison. Among the foreign population, the figure is 0.28%, with 1.21% of immigrants with an African citizenship in prison.

It is interesting to note the very high proportion of Muslim inmates, with the latest estimates from the prison Imam from 2019 showing that they account for around 23% of all inmates. This topic is particularly relevant with regard to halal catering.

It is hardly surprising that the Anglosphere has fewer foreign criminals, given that it is geographically difficult to get there. 35% of all foreign nationals suspected of committing a crime in Austria do not even live in Austria (unfortunately, there are no precise statistics for prison inmates).

Anglo countries have fewer language barriers, less discrimination, and more flexible labor markets, making it easier for immigrants to integrate.

They mean only “western” European countries. Where is Poland, Czech republic, Romania, Bulgaria etc?
