I think they need to cut the data a bit more to find out what's really going on.

I do it for you.
The top of 1765 crimes a year is not very high for a population of over 80million people. When queer people feel offended because you used the wrong pronoun it can be considered a crime in germany. I bet there is zero deaths in this statistic and lot of online violence in the violence statistic.
But the most important:
The number of queer people also increased.
Without the increase the numbers are worthless.
When you have 10x crime incrase but 20x population you actually have less crime. So crime is not 10 times more, it is 50% less.

Ya think?
Stats can be very helpful and enlightening or very misleading and confusing. Especially when they are in the abstract with little context.

I don't know if they really want to dig more though. I think they might be happy to stop here.

Same. I am very skeptical of so many stats these days. The less detail and info the more skeptical I am. Reading Thomas Sowell many years ago was eye opening.
Learned far more about what goes on than in my statistics classes in college.
