Overview of crime in Berlin
The Police Crime Statistics (PKS) comprehensively documents such incidents by listing all crime-relevant data known to the police. As can be read on the Berlin police website, the PKS is used, among other things, to analyze types of crimes and suspects as well as the development of crime in the city. However, the number of unreported cases remains high because not all crimes are known to the police. Politically motivated crime is recorded via special reporting services, which only cover certain types of crime.
Yesterday's incident shows us once again how important it is to strengthen security in urban areas and to be vigilant. People should feel safe in their neighborhoods, especially in busy areas.
