The importance of crime statistics

The frequency of thefts in Germany is alarming. According to the last published data, there were about 1.8 million thefts in 2022, which represents an increase of 20 percent compared to the previous year. The clearance rate varies significantly: While only 7.9 percent of the cases of money theft are informed, shoplifts achieve a quota of 89.8 percent.

German criminal law provides for simple theft of up to five years, while gang robbers or those who operate with weapons have to expect up to ten years in prison. In view of the rapidly increasing numbers of offenses, the need for preventive measures and increased police presence is obvious.

In addition, it is important to note that many thefts, especially in shops, are often not displayed if the perpetrator has not been caught. The number of unreported cases must therefore be classified as much higher.
