In the opinion of the Federal Ministry of the Interior, this group should be identified uniformly in the police databases in order to be able to proceed more effectively against foreign multiple offenders.
This emerges from the agenda for the conference of interior ministers of the federal and state governments, which begins on December 9th in Weimar.
According to information from the German Press Agency, the proposal that the interior ministers are discussing provides that police officers from another federal state also use the abbreviation aMIT - for "foreign multiple and intensive offenders" - to be immediately apparent when police queries about people in this group is that this person has already attracted attention elsewhere through numerous crimes.
Another reason is the desire to expedite the deportation of foreigners who have committed multiple delinquencies.
However, this project often fails due to a lack of travel documents, a lack of willingness to cooperate on the part of the home countries or - as in the case of Syria - due to the situation in the country of origin, which can prevent deportation.

The interior minister of Rhineland-Palatinate, Roger Lewentz (SPD), had said in December 2019 when presenting a new strategy to combat the phenomenon of intensive offenders: "All scientific findings show that a relatively small number of offenders account for a disproportionately large proportion of Criminal offenses.
For Rhineland-Palatinate, the 2018 crime statistics show that 0.8 percent of the suspects have committed more than ten percent of the criminal offenses solved, 34 of which were responsible for more than 50 offenses. "
