The statistic that 77% of rape arrests in Paris involved foreigners is misleading because less than a third of reported cases were solved.

That 77% number from Paris is interesting and possibly misleading. This was about numbers from Paris in 2023. 28 out of the 36 people who were arrested for rapes that occurred in public spaces were of foreign nationality. It's not specified what foreign nationality, but the most important part is that less than a third of reported cases were solved. This is to say that 28 out of the 36 known offenders were of foreign nationality, but we don't know if that trend extends to the other two-thirds of the cases that the police haven't solved.
