Focus on crime situation
According to Statista, the police crime statistics (PKS) for 2024 show a decline of 1.7% to around 5.84 million crimes. This positive turnaround is due in particular to the decline in cannabis crimes, which have been occurring less frequently since April 1, 2024, following partial legalization.
But the increase in certain crimes, such as violent crimes, could affect many people's sense of security. The frequency of dangerous confrontations in particular raises questions. Statistics show that offenses against physical integrity remain high, even though murder and manslaughter account for a very small proportion of only 0.1% of total cases.
However, the clearance rate remained stable at 58%, which means that only slightly more than half of the crimes can be solved. One reason why incidents like the one in Bautzen keep coming to light. In total, there were around 1.33 million victims of crime registered by the police in 2024, which shows that despite the overall number falling, there remains an unreported area that should not be underestimated.
In the Bautzen region, where the most recent incident took place, regional developments could also influence the level of crime. It remains to be hoped that the security forces will continue to have a good hand in ensuring the safety of citizens and counteracting such aggressive incidents in the future.
We can only hope that the improvements in crime-related statistics will also be felt in people's everyday experiences. The feeling of security must be restored so that our cities remain places where people enjoy living and feel safe.
