What percentages of people committing rape in Paris are immigrants. What is the breakdown of it?

1. What the Paris figure actually covers — a narrow slice of incidents

The widely circulated “77%” figure comes from a Paris Police Headquarters report on rapes that occurred outdoors (public spaces) in the capital in 2023. Europe 1 reported that 97 rapes were recorded in public spaces in Paris that year and that only a minority of those cases had been solved; the claim that 77% of solved cases involved perpetrators without French passports therefore refers specifically to that small subset of public‑space cases, not all rapes in Paris or France ^{[1] [2] [5]}.

2. National context contradicts a blanket interpretation

Investigations and fact‑checks note that national statistics tell a different story: a report cited by Misbar and other checks says foreigners constitute roughly 13% of those accused of rape across France, and other official compilations indicate around 87% of accused rapists at national level are French nationals for the comparable period — numbers that contradict any claim that most rapes nationwide are committed by foreigners ^{[3] [4] [6]}.

3. How numbers were amplified — political and media framing

Right‑wing politicians and several outlets amplified the Paris public‑space statistic into broad claims about migrants and sexual crime. Misbar’s investigation found those amplifications were misleading when generalized beyond the limited police bulletin; similarly, fact‑checking pieces show social posts and some media headlines omitted the crucial qualifiers that the 77% figure applies only to a small subset of solved public‑space cases ^{[3] [4]}.

4. Limits of the data: solved vs. reported, public vs. private, nationality vs. migration status

Sources stress important limitations: the Paris figure concerns “solved” cases among 97 recorded public‑space rapes (only 30 solved), not all reported incidents; it does not distinguish legal status (documented vs. undocumented), nor does it cover rapes in private settings (where most sexual violence is recorded) ^{[1] [3] [5]}. Fact‑checkers advise these constraints mean the 77% number cannot be extrapolated to overall crime rates or to the immigrant population writ large ^{[3] [4]}.

5. Competing interpretations in secondary reporting

Some outlets repeated the Paris police bulletin verbatim and framed it as evidence of a migrant‑crime link ^{[1] [2] [5]}. Other analysts, researchers and fact‑checkers point to national statistics and methodological caveats to argue the Paris headline is statistically narrow and potentially misleading ^{[3] [4] [6]}. Both strands appear in the record: the raw Paris police numbers exist in reporting, and authoritative counters note broader national data and representativeness issues ^{[1] [3] [4]}.

6. What’s missing from current reporting and why that matters

Available sources do not provide a comprehensive breakdown by perpetrator nationality across all rape complaints in Paris (public + private) for 2023, nor do they provide the legal immigration status of suspects (documented/undocumented) in the Paris police release — those gaps make it impossible from these sources to present a full, population‑level “breakdown” of immigrants’ share of rape offenders beyond the narrow public‑space solved subset ^{[1] [3] [4]}.

7. What readers should take away

Use the 77% figure only as what it is: a statistic about solved public‑space rape cases in Paris in 2023 (a small number of cases), not proof that immigrants commit most rapes in Paris or France. National statistics cited by fact‑checkers show a very different overall picture (foreign nationals ~13% of accused at national level), and reputable observers urge caution when extrapolating from a tiny, non‑representative slice of incidents ^{[1] [3] [4]}.

If you want a fuller, reliable breakdown (by nationality, legal status, location, and solved vs. reported) for Paris or France, available sources do not mention a single comprehensive table covering all those dimensions; you would need to consult the original Paris police datasets and the Ministry of the Interior’s statistical service for detailed cross‑tabs (not found in current reporting) ^{[1] [3]}.
