Bremen fights with crime: facts that you will shock!

Bremen, Deutschland - In Bremen, crime has been discussed very intensively for some time. The first look at the current statistics could be deceptive, because Bremen is not classified as the "most dangerous big city" in Germany, but is in ranking compared to cities like Frankfurt and Berlin. Nevertheless, the crime statistics show that Bremen has a major crime problem than many other major German cities, such as the Weser-Kurier reported.

Although the total numbers seem rather mixed and the likelihood of becoming the victim of a more difficult crime is generally low, public crimes affect the feeling of security of the Bremeners noticeably. One could say that some problems are buzzing from one district to another, without a clear trend reversal in combating crime. Successes such as the SOKO "Young Robbers" must be noted, but politicians are faced with the challenge of further expanding successful approaches.

campaign for more security

The latest developments in the context of police crime statistics (PKS) show that Bremen should strive for a level of crime in the medium term that is below that of Frankfurt and Berlin. Cities like Stuttgart, Dresden and Nuremberg have shown it in the past. The urge for improvement goes hand in hand with the knowledge that even in other parts of Germany the crime is not clearly evaluated.

The rather latest PKS resulted in a decline in crime by 1.7 % to a total of around 5.84 million cases nationwide. Particularly influence on this decline had fewer cannabis delics that have decreased by partialization since April 1, 2024, so reports Statista . Nevertheless, there is a remarkable increase in crimes that burden the citizens' feeling of security, and it turns out that many offenses are not covered in the official statistics.

the dark field and the reality

A look at the dark field reveals that many crimes, such as rape, are often not displayed.

A value that has decreased slightly and shows that the pressure on the police and the investigative authorities remains. The Bremen security situation shows that a good knack for fighting crime is necessary to permanently stabilize the feeling of security of the population.
