Migrants are approximately 4 to 6 times overrepresented in rape across European countries.

These figures may be underestimates due to inaccurate recording techniques:

- In Sweden, only the foreign-born are classified as migrants and in Germany, only those who have not been naturalized. All second generation migrants are grouped with natives.

- In Finland, only first and second generation migrants are included, the rest are grouped with natives.

- Denmark records ethnic crime statistics and provides some of the most reliable data available, but even they only include first and second generation migrants.
