Crime in Germany is on the decline overall, according to a report. It fell by 15 percent from 2005 to 2019, “influenced primarily by the significant decline in property and asset crimes,” the Funke Mediengruppe reported, citing data from the German government.
According to the report, the number of cases of serious violent crime also fell. The Corona pandemic had led to a decline in violence in public – but an increase in private.
“Germany is one of the safest countries in the world,” German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer (CSU) said according to the report. “But security is an ongoing task for which we have to work hard every day.”
The information refers to the so-called Periodic Security Report. In this regard, Seehofer explained that those who want to successfully fight crime need more than statistics. The security report looks back on the last 15 years of crime development. It contains the combined knowledge of numerous experts from the police and judiciary.
“(insert developed country) is one of the top (insert random statistic) in the world!” is such a useless comment when most of the 200 countries on this planet are significantly worse in almost every statistic than any developed nation.

Seehofer again completely delusional.
