Crime development in Germany

Statista However, shows that there is an increase in crimes that affect people's sense of security. The likelihood of becoming a victim of crime is particularly higher in city states such as Berlin and Hamburg.

Although the number of recorded crimes is falling overall, the feeling of insecurity has increased. Bavaria had the highest crime rates in 2024, increasing the population's concerns about their safety. The clearance rate was around 58% in 2024, which represents a slight decrease compared to the previous year.
