One of the ways that the far right are seeking to promote fear is by blaming immigration for violent crime.
There are numerous reasons as to why this is false. I’ve previously shared data showing that there isn’t a greater risk of violent crime from migrants. Here is some further data from Fraser Nelson.

What the data shows is that:
- Reported violent crime has fallen in inversion proportion to the rise in immigrant numbers
- The number of stab wound victims in hospital has also fallen.
The attempt to demonise asylum seekers is not based on facts. When Christians repeat these claims or argue that they are not being racist but simply want to protect people from violence and rape, they are wrong
