The concerns about security have been a hot topic in recent years. According to the Hamburg , however, the total police crime statistics in 2024 are to be evaluated positively, with a decline in crimes by 4 percent compared to the previous year. A total of 224,913 crimes were recorded, which corresponds to a reduction by 9,328 cases. The drastic reduction of murder and homicide offenses that have been almost halved, as well as the decline in burglaries, is particularly striking. Nevertheless, the figures also show an increase in violent offenses by 7 percent, which is observed, especially in districts such as St. Pauli and St. Georg.

A worrying trend is the increase in crimes against sexual self -determination, which has increased by 3.1 percent, with many of these acts in a relationship context. This development particularly affects the discussion about the security of women in the city. Interior Senator Andy Grote and police chief Falk Schnabel have expressed a positive statement about the general progress in the fight against crime, but also indicate the challenges that persist.
