background and crime in Germany

It is characteristic that Mannheim has been in the headlines again and again recently. For example, recently against a 40-year-old man was raised for murder, who had killed two people on a killing ride. These and similar incidents throw a light on the current crime development in Germany, which cannot be clearly assessed. According to the police crime statistics (PKS) of the Federal Criminal Police Office, there was a decrease in crime by 1.7 % to around 5.84 million crimes in 2024. Even if this sounds optimistic, the increase in crimes that affect people affect people cannot be overlooked.

The most common crimes recorded in the PKS are thefts and property offenses. Crimes against life, i.e. murder and homicide, make up only 0.1 % of the registered cases, which still seems considerable if you look at the worries of the citizens. While Baden-Württemberg is one of the federal states with the highest crime figures, the dark field, i.e. not recorded crimes, can increase the number of unreported cases dramatically and significantly influence the actual risk situation.

In view of the recent events in Mannheim, it becomes visible how important it is to stay attentive and to have social developments in mind. The investigation around the incidents in Sandhofen continues - we keep them up to date.
