I have some doubts about your answer. Statistics that are accounting the origin of people are against the law. You can only report stats on nationality. So what you write is very surprising. This said the point about what is crime exactly and what this graph really considers as a crime is not clear and open to manipulation.

I looked into how Migrationshintergrund is tracked and apparently you're right, officially in Germany it's about whether you or one of your parents were born without a German citizenship (so someone who has a German parent and a non German parent counts, same as their non German parent). I got confused because the term is informally used to also include people who aren't considered ethnically German, so my bad.

Checking a bit more on that . Tracking the ethnicity is forbidden by the GDPR (article 9) so it would be illegal to do in Germany. The source is here https://mediendienst-integration.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Expertisen/Mediendienst_Integration_Expertise_Kriminalitaet_und_Migration_in_deutschen_Medien_Thomas_Hestermann.pdf And it was foreigners. Not people with immigration background.
