Of those individuals, 5,717 are Morocco-born immigrants and 5,556 are descendants of Morocco-born persons. [1] 2,811 individuals are citizens of Morocco (1,227 men, 1,584 women). [2] As of 2016, a total of 77 Morocco-born persons have been granted residence permits in Denmark for family reunification, 19 for study, 144 for work, and 7 for EU/EEA residing family members. [3] Moroccan residents are generally young and middle-aged adults, with most belonging to the 15-19 years (1,054 individuals), 20-24 years (964 individuals), 40-44 years (954 individuals), and 35-39 years (933 individuals) age groups.

[4] Moroccans primarily inhabit the regions of Hovedstaden (9,007), Midtjylland (906), Sjælland (785), Syddanmark (463), and Nordjylland (112), and the cities of Copenhagen (5,307), Aarhus (654), Brøndby (520), and Albertslund (308).

According to Statistics Denmark, Moroccan migrants and their descendants are over-represented as perpetrators of crime. Male Moroccan descendants are about 15 times more likely to commit violent crime. [6] As of 2016, Morocco-born male immigrants in Denmark aged 15-79 have a total crime index of 145 when adjusted for age only, with adjustments of 129 for age and socioeconomic status, 129 for age and family education, and 116 when for age and family income. Their male descendants have a total crime index of 305 when adjusted for age only, with adjustments of 286 for age and socioeconomic status, 240 for age and family education, and 256 for age and family income. [7] With regard to type of infringement, the male descendants of Morocco-born individuals have a penal code crime index of 444 when adjusted for age only (with adjustments of 355 for age and socioeconomic status, 278 age and family education, and 288 for age and family income), of which the crime index when adjusted for age only is 356 for violent offences (with adjustments of 289 for age and socioeconomic status, 215 age and family education, and 229 for age and family income) and 417 for property offences (with adjustments of 332 for age and socioeconomic status, 262 age and family education, and 265 for age and family income). The crime index when adjusted for age only is 280 for traffic law (with adjustments of 278 for age and socioeconomic status, 237 for age and family education, and 259 for age and family income) and 349 for special laws (with adjustments of 314 for age and socioeconomic status, 266 age and family education, and 279 for age and family income). [8] The average crime index among the general Danish population is set at 100 and percentage points above or below that baseline reflect greater or lesser prevalence, depending on a population's most common age group and its relative socioeconomic status. [9] As of 2016, a total of 642 persons of Moroccan origin were found guilty of crimes. Of these individuals, 560 were males and 82 were females, with males between the ages of 15-29 years (285 individuals) and 30-49 years (218 individuals) constituting most of the total.

[11] Most of the persons received a fine (488 individuals), with the remainder given unsuspended imprisonment (71 individuals), suspended imprisonment (65 individuals), withdrawal of charges (10 individuals), preventive measures (5 individuals), other decisions (2 individuals), or no charges (1 individual).

Social class in New Zealand is a product of both Māori and Western social structures. Researchers have traditionally discussed New Zealand, a first-world country, as a "classless society", but this claim is problematic in a number of ways. Since at least the 1980s it has become easier to distinguish between the wealthy and the underclass in New Zealand society.
Immigration and crime refers to the relationship between criminal activity and the phenomenon of immigration. The academic literature and official statistics provide mixed findings for the relationship between immigration and crime. Research in the United States tends to suggest that immigration either has no impact on the crime rate or even that immigrants are less prone to crime. A meta-analysis of 51 studies from 1994–2014 on the relationship between immigration and crime in the United States found that, overall, the immigration-crime association is negative, but the relationship is very weak and there is significant variation in findings across studies. This is in line with a 2009 review of high-quality studies conducted in the United States that also found a negative relationship.

Denmark has seen an increase in immigration over the past 30 years, with a large part of the immigrants originating from non-Western countries. As of 2014, more than 8 percent of the population of Denmark consists of immigrants. As of Q2 of 2022, the population of immigrants is 652,495, excluding Danish born descendants of immigrants to Denmark. This shift in demographics has posed challenges to the nation as it attempts to address cultural and religious differences, labour shortages, employment gaps, education of immigrants and their descendants, spatial segregation, crime rates and language abilities.

"Vulnerable residential area" is an official term for a social housing district in Denmark which fulfils certain statistical criteria of relatively low employment/school attendance, relatively low income, a relatively low educational level and/or relatively many convicted inhabitants. If more than 50% of the residents in a vulnerable area are non-Western immigrants and their descendants, the area is additionally designated a "parallel society". The Danish government has published an official list of vulnerable residential areas annually since 2010, with changes in the definition and/or terminology in 2013, 2018 and 2021. During the period 2010-2021, the term "ghetto" was used officially to designate some or all of the vulnerable areas, but the term was considered controversial and removed in 2021.
Russians in Norway are people born in Russia or whose parents were both born in Russia and who live in Norway.
er kriminalitetshyppigheden højere i de yngre aldersgrupperend i de ældre. En befolkningsgruppes samlede kriminalitet påvirkes derfor af,hvordan gruppen er sammensat aldersmæssigt. Hvis man ønsker et samlet mål forkriminaliteten i en befolkningsgruppe, er det derfor nødvendigt at korrigere for,hvordan gruppen er sammensat aldersmæssigt.[...] Når der korrigeres for alderssammensætningen viser det sig, at mandlige efter-kommere fra ikke-vestlige lande har et kriminalitetsindeks på 244. Det betyder, atdenne gruppe har en overhyppighed af kriminalitet på 144 pct. i forhold til hele denmandlige befolkning, hvor indekstallet er sat til 100.[...] Ud over alder er socioøkonomisk status en faktor, der påvirker kriminalitetshyp-pigheden for en befolkningsgruppe.[...] En befolkningsgruppes socioøkonomiske sammensætning vil derforpåvirke dens kriminalitetsniveau, og i beregningen af et kriminalitetsindeks bør derderfor også korrigeres for den socioøkonomiske status.
