New questions
Hello everyone!
While further analyzing the results of our migration questionnaire and the points mentioned on the project meeting etc. we found out that we need some more information on certain topics. So we prepared some more questions we would like you to answer.
1. How big is the percentage of foreign criminals?
2. What counts to these offenses? Does even illegal immigration count as an offense?
3. What do they mainly commit (arson? murder? ...)? Can you give percentages?
4. What are the reasons that they become criminal (discrimination?...)?
5. How many offenses are there against immigrants?
6. What kind of offenses against immigrants are committed? Can you give percentages?
7. Can you give percentages of crimes with right-wing background against immigrants?
Thanks!

1. How big is the percentage of foreign criminals?
2. What counts to these offenses? Does even illegal immigration count as an offense?
Detainees foreigners account for only 3% of those arrested and the number of criminal aliens is only 0.4% of all cases, while a significant part in each of these groups are Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians and Armenians.
This is due primarily to the containment of some groups (eg Vietnamese) and the fact that they often prefer to avoid contact with the police and to resolve any disputes and conflicts within their own community. The problem is that as the data presented do not permit unequivocal determination of what proportion of these crimes are committed by foreigners living permanently in the Polish territory. These figures relate to all third country nationals on Polish territory, including tourists. This may mean, for example, that all or the vast majority of crime was done by foreigners not linked permanently with the Polish.
Consequently, it is impossible to unambiguously determine the scale of the problem of crime among third-country nationals living in Poland.
3. What do they mainly commit (arson? murder? ...)? Can you give percentages?
As you can see from the above, immigrants commiting crimes are only 0.4% of all criminals in Poland, so finding specifically what crimes they commit is impossible to tell.
4. What are the reasons that they become criminal (discrimination?...)?
5. How many offenses are there against immigrants?
Poland and the increased number of crimes committed on Racist, declined and their detection
- 2006 - 60 such investigations;
- 2007 - 62;
- 2008 - 123,
- 2009 - 166
6. What kind of offenses against immigrants are committed? Can you give percentages?
7. Can you give percentages of crimes with right-wing background against immigrants?
According to the report, in 2009 the Polish public prosecutors' offices conducted a total of 166 investigations of crimes committed against a racist or xenophobic (124 of them are those opened in 2009 and continued for the rest). In 2006, the prosecution had a total of 60 such investigations, in 2007 - 62; in 2008 - 123rd Most of the investigations concerned the crime of 'public insults or breaches of integrity, group of persons or particular persons because of their national, ethnic, racial, religious or because of her religious beliefs "(as it threatens to 3 years in prison) and the" public promotion of fascist or totalitarian the political system, or incitement to hatred on national, ethnic, racial, religious, or because of lack of religious beliefs "(penalty 2 years imprisonment).
Among these 166 investigations, 20 cases are pending. In 28 cases sent indictments against 46 individuals. There was a 1927 court decisions, of which 24 are convictions. - This indicates the high efficiency of targeting in these cases the indictments - the report emphasizes. In one case the court conditionally dismissed the proceedings, and two have been convictions in relation to some people, and the rest of the accused were acquitted. 73 cases were dismissed, most - 42 - due to the failure to detect offenders. Cancellations for this reason it was in 2009, almost twice more than in 2008, no cases were dismissed and not because of "insignificant social harmfulness" of action. In 37 cases refused to initiate an investigation, two handed family courts, and 3 - other prosecutors, two cases were combined with other investigations, and one was suspended. Almost all decisions to discontinue or not to initiate investigations were examined by prosecutors prevail. The 105 examined decisions in 70 cases were found to be reasonable, and in 35 cases - to be unfounded. - This indicates the desirability of testing for this category of cases by the parent entity in order to eliminate incorrect decision to discontinue or not to initiate proceedings - the report says.
17) Please try again to find numbers of illegal immigration!
This we could not find.
21) Does emigration cause any serious problems in the society?
Emigration does not cause serious problems right now but if it continues like that, it might be a problem in next decades because after opening the borders because of the fact that many young people emigrate and decide to build their families abroad which will make the society in Poland suffer from the ageing – there will be more pensioners than the young working for their pensions.
Second problem is that the medical staff (nurses and doctors) emigrates to work abroad so that there are too few that work in Poland. The most difficult situation is with the anesthesiologists – a couple of years ago there were problems because there are not enough to perform the operations.
In 2006 there were so few that sometimes one had to anesthetize a couple of patients at the same time, which is not only against the safety rules, but also life threatening to the patients.
In 2006 570 doctors of that specialization took documents enabling them to work in the EU, that is 15 per cent of the registered anesthesiologists (there were 3900 registered). It all depends on the province, for example, zachodniopomorskie is next to the German border, so the hospitals from the cities such as Passewalk, Schwedt, Uckermunde and Neubrandenburg are happy to employ Polish doctors.
Similar situation when it comes to well-qualified workers is with construction site workers – the lacks are visible.
The long-term effects of the emigration are yet not known, but it said that there is the danger that the technological chasm between Poland and highly developed countries will grow, especially because it is now visible.
21b) How big is the percentage of emigrants who return to your country, in relation to all emigrants?
It is estimated that around 1.2 million workers have emigrated from Poland since the opening of the EU borders (May 2004), according to other sources that is 1.5 million people, which is 3.9 per cent of all the population. According to another source, it is not clear how many have emigrated, from 300 000 to 2 000 000.
When it comes to the data about people coming back, there are only some numbers from bigger Polish cities, counted in 2009 – Cracow: 716, Wroclaw – 1625, Lodz and Gdansk – 500, Radom – 120, so in total that is 2961. According to the source, this number is 50 per cent higher than in 2008, it means in that rear around 1500 people came back from emigration.
In total that gives around 5 000 people, so only around 0.0003 per cent of all the emigrants come back to Poland.
On the other hand, it is said that 1.4 million immigrants from ‘the New Europe’ came to the British Islands, majority of whom was Polish and now only half of them is there.
As you can see from the above information, the numbers are very rough and they differ among each other. As for the British Islands information, the number might be the result that people who leave this country do not come back to their home country, but emigrate somewhere else.
