We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...

"Crime is a significant concern in Germany, as it is in many places around the world. Reports of various types of crime, from pickpocketing to theft to violent crimes, are common throughout the country. However, Germany is considered relatively safe, thanks to the effectiveness of its law enforcement agencies and its conscientious anti-crime initiatives," said a member in Germany.
