Crime in Germany
But what does crime look like overall in Germany? The Federal Criminal Police Office's police crime statistics (PKS) show a decline in crimes of 1.7% to around 5.84 million in 2024. One reason for this is the partially legalized regulation on cannabis possession since April 2024, which has led to a decline in corresponding offenses. However, there continues to be an increase in crimes that affect people's sense of security, such as Statista.com informed.
The most common crimes in 2024 were thefts, property crimes and crime groups that had to do with brutality. There seems to be no shortage of perceived threats in society, despite the overall decline in crime. The clearance rate was 58% in 2024. This is a small decrease compared to previous years. It should be noted that the probability of becoming a victim of a crime is higher, particularly in city states such as Berlin or Hamburg.
Finally, the numbers also show a gradual change in the composition of the suspects. The proportion of non-German suspects rose to 41.8%, while the number of suspects under the age of 21 fell by 6% to around 452,000. All of these developments give rise to numerous discussions about security and justice in our cities.
