This is the best I can come up with. This image is from a BKA 2014 study that shows how much each ethnicity commits a particular crime per capita. You can see that those of Tunisian, Algerian, or Pakistani nationality, for example, are at the top for most crimes such as child abuse, sexual assault, and theft. In comparison, Germans are at the bottom along with people of European and East Asian nationalities. Unfortunately, the original link leads to a '404 Not Found', so the image is all I have.

There was also a Switz study (Switzerland is one of Germany's neighbors, so I think it's a valid study to cite) that shows that a higher percentage of people from north Africa and west Africa, for example, broke the Criminal Code in comparison to those of other origins. However, the article says that there is likely not a causal relationship between ethnicity and crime, but rather gender/age and crime. The article says that young men (18-29) are far more likely to commit crime than men of other age groups and women. The previous sentence is very important because according to a German study from BAMF, the migrants are overwhelmingly male (bottom of Page 2) and young (Page 3).

Thank you. Having this information definitely makes it easier to avoid bias conclusions.

I need to disclose that the image is not from BKA. That was an error on my part. It's a third party source that utilizes raw data from BKA. An English version of the BKA 2015 report can be found here.
