Extremist criminal acts related to politically motivated crime Germany 2023

¹ In the area of ​​politically motivated crime (PMC), since 2017 the state has also differentiated between PMC - foreign ideology and PMC - religious ideology, which in previous years were considered together under the aspect of politically motivated foreign crime. To complete the time series, the data from the areas of PMC with an extremist background - foreign ideology and PMC with an extremist background - have since been added together. ² The crimes recorded by the police in the respective reporting year are shown. They are thus statistically recorded as soon as there is initial suspicion. The police crime statistics (PCS), on the other hand, are initial statistics. They show the crimes that became known to the police in the respective reporting year and were finally processed by them, including attempts that are punishable, and drug offenses processed by customs. Statistical recording only takes place when they are submitted to the public prosecutor's office. Older values ​​were partly taken from corresponding previous year publications.
