There is a direct correlation between the number of immigrants entering the country and the rise in the crime rate, according to a report published Wednesday by the Italian daily, Il Giornale.
In its front page report titled “More Immigrants = More Crime,” the newspaper cited results from a recent study conducted by the Confcommercio group on the statistical connection between crime and immigration.
The report found that in a determined area, if the number of immigrants increases by 1 percent, the crime rate in the same area goes up by 0.4 percent.
Moreover, the study revealed that among Italian citizens there are 4.3 convicted criminals per 1000, while among legal immigrants the rate is nearly double, at 8.5 criminals per 1000. More alarming still, among illegal immigrants the crime rate soars to more than 50 percent (148 criminals out of every 247 persons).
One of the more troubling discoveries of the study was that for the first time, the crime rate in the north of Italy, which has the highest concentration of immigrants and asylum seekers, is surpassing that of the south.
Including loss of revenue, costs for personal injury, insurance and expenses for defense systems, crime has cost Italian businesses 26.5 billion euros in 2016, according to the study. In particular, illegal itinerant vendors account for 8.1 billion, dining in restaurants without paying 5.6 billion, counterfeiting 3.5 billion and shoplifting 3.6 billion, the study noted.
Official data from the National Institute for Statistics (ISTAT) and the Interior Ministry also register an increase in more serious crimes, such as extortion, usury and threats, which increased from 22 crimes per 1000 businesses in 2010 to 24.1 per 1000 in 2015.

PING!
how insightful.
The earth is STILL not FLAT!!
Duh!
The question is whether or not more immigrants result in more crime - that point is moot. Of course they do; they represent more opportunity for criminals, and bring their own crime with them.
The question is whether or not immigrants bring enough benefits to the nation and its citizens to offset this.
In the case of the Moslem ‘refugees,’ I think the answer is a resounding “No!”
Italy gets this afternoon’s NSS Award (No Sh** Sherlock). It will be presented later this afternoon by Captain Obvious.
It took another It Italian to prove the earth is in fact still not flat
Gee, I would have never guessed.
The Italianos, they are-a, so smart.
These people are BRILLIANT!
Take THAT, Pops Francis.
Duh! more savages means more violence.
More immigrants=more crime.
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Who would have thought that?
So simple a child knows this. It takes a university educated liberal to be stupid enough tomignore how illegal immigrants offend at the highest rates.
“There is a direct correlation between the number of immigrants entering the country and the rise in the crime rate. . . .”
