The decline in crimes in Brandenburg: Uckermark and Prignitz in plus!

Spree-Neiße-Kreis, Deutschland - Mixed developments in the crime situation show up in Brandenburg. While the number of crimes recorded in the north of the country recorded a decline last year, police crime statistics for all of Brandenburg report an increase in crimes by 9.4 percent. The decline in the Uckermark is particularly striking with 12.4 percent and in Prignitz, where the crimes could be reduced by 6.0 percent. This information comes from the answers of the Potsdam Ministry of the Interior to inquiries from CDU MPs, such as the Nordkurier

But not everything is gold that shines. Rainer Genilke from the CDU draws attention to worrying trends, especially to the increase in car thefts and politically motivated crime. And the schools are also not excluded because an increase in criminal offenses in these facilities is found. Gordon Hoffmann from the CDU emphasizes that despite the positive development of the decline in crimes, over 4,700 crimes in the affected regions are "too much". He therefore calls for improved equipment and support from the police to increase the educational rate.

A look at the politically motivated crime

BKA , the number of politically motivated crimes in 2024 rose by over 40 percent to more than 84,000 actions. The increase is particularly dramatic, since in the sixth year in a row it is an increase.

The main reasons for the rising figures are according to the federal government, the Bundestag election and the conflict in the Middle East. The increase in right -wing extremists is particularly striking, which increased by almost 50 percent. Among them are an increasing number of anti -Semitic crimes that have grown by 20 percent, and xenophobia, which increases by 29 percent. A significant part of these incidents have also been registered on the Internet, which also illustrates the extent of the problem, according to the Tagesschau .

Need for action recognized

domestic politics reacted to this. Interior Minister Dobrindt announced a "security offensive", which includes more powers for security authorities and an increase in the minimum penalty for attacks on enforcement officers. In addition, a proposal for the rule of the rule in anti -Semitically motivated crimes of foreigners will be discussed, while knife attacks are to be classified as a crime with a reasonable minimum penalty in the future.

With an average of nine right -wing extremist motivated attacks per day, the challenges for security policy in Germany are considerable. The dangers for minors who often become the goal of such violence are particularly alarming. It remains to be seen how the political measures will affect the safety of different population groups.
