In 2024, more than 217,000 violent crimes were registered - the highest number in 17 years. Around 260,000 people are victims of violence annually, and the cases of violence against emergency services have also increased significantly. The Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) cites economic uncertainties and psychological stress as possible causes of this development.

The feeling of security of the citizens in Rostock, as in other cities, is severely affected by such incidents.
