If you follow the trail, all the articles with the "lowest since 92" tagline seem to cite this Politico article
It's interesting how all the headlines are similar and all the articles sound the same, and cite only this as a source.

The actual source of the quote and crime statistics is the German government.
So why not cite it?

It does show that overall crime is down a little.
I am pretty sure Trump was alluding to immigrant crime, and the statistics don't dispute that. Weapons and sex crimes are up.

The full Trump quote:

The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition. Crime in Germany is way up. Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!

VOX is cancer, but so is most large media.
