Crime in Magdeburg: Where the danger really lurks!
Crime in Magdeburg: Where the danger really lurks!
in Magdeburg, the police documented more than 32,000 crimes last year. This results from a detailed evaluation that MDR Saxony-Anhalt requested from the local police station. The analysis shows in which districts the crime is highest, especially in the case of assault, robberies and burglaries.
The numbers are based exclusively on police -registered incidents. It should therefore be noted that a possible number of unreported cases, i.e. not recorded, is not taken into account in this statistics.
crime in public space
in 2023 Magdeburg recorded a total of 628 cases of dangerous bodily harm, robbery or predatory extortion, all of which took place in public spaces. These offenses in particular include attacks on roads, paths and squares, whereby physical injuries that are done in apartments were not captured. Of these 628 cases, the investigators managed to clarify 418, which corresponds to a clearance rate of almost 67 percent.
The investigation of these cases shows the commitment of the police to increase security in public space. Nevertheless, the high number of registered incidents remains a worrying trend that is important for both the police and the citizens.
In addition, the police authorities did not draw any comprehensive conclusions about the associated social circumstances or possible preventive measures that could be taken to combat these crimes. Instead, attention focuses primarily on the current situation and the need for effective crime fighting.

The numbers are not only an indicator of the current security, but they can also represent indications of future measures by the police and the city administration in order to react to the challenges of the fight against crime.
