Berlin’s 2024 Clan-Crime Report Logs Fewer Cases as Police Operations Fall

Police attribute the decline to reduced controls during a resource‑intensive year.

Overview

  • Authorities recorded 851 clan-attributed offenses in 2024, a decline of about 200 from the prior year.
  • The number of people the interior administration assigns to the milieu rose to 616 at the start of January.
  • Police carried out 74 clan-related operations, down from 126, with the LKA citing Euro 2024 deployments and Gaza-related demonstrations.
  • Recorded offenses were led by violent crimes at 29 percent, followed by traffic at about 15 percent and property or fraud at roughly 13 percent, with 296 suspects identified and three homicides counted.
  • Berlin officials highlight tougher action and asset recovery as the CDU warns of a large dark field, while a Niedersachsen-commissioned study argues the concept is discriminatory.
