context on crime in Germany
Although crime is declining overall, many citizens report on increasing security concerns. In particular, crimes that affect people's subjective feeling of security increased. However, the PKS only records the reported and edited crimes, which illustrates the number of unreported crimes. Studies show that rapes are often rarer than burglaries.
The most common crimes in 2024 were thefts, asset and counterfeiting offenses as well as crimes. Crimes against life, such as murder and homicide, only made 0.1 % of the cases. The highest crime figures were recorded in North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg in 2023, whereby the probability of becoming the victim of crime is higher in city-states such as Berlin, Bremen or Hamburg.
In summary, it can be said that the tragic incident in the Elbe not only raises questions about the cause of death, but is also embedded in the greater context of the development of crime and security in Germany. The investigation is underway and could provide further knowledge, while the citizens are still concerned about their security.| Details | |
