Prosperity and Residential Burglary

Münster’s largest employers have never been commercial enterprises but traditionally the city’s educational and administrative institutions, including the university, the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe and the district government. In comparison with the rest of Germany, residents of Münster are generally financially well off. Disposable income per inhabitant amounts to 26,079 euros per year and is therefore above the national average (2024).

 

Where people are financially well off, increased levels of burglary and theft are generally recorded. The official figures (Police Crime Statistics) only partially confirm this: in 2014 there was still an increase of 7.7 per cent compared with the previous year to a total of 1,003 residential burglaries, whereas in 2023 this figure amounted to only 429 cases. However, for the private detectives of Kurtz Investigations Münster this development is not reflected in the corresponding number of instructions received. Moreover, the total number of criminal offences reached a new record high of 34,829; theft offences accounted for no fewer than 48.74 per cent of these.

Presenting burglars with obstacles is far more than half the battle in preventing residential burglaries. If the perpetrator requires more than just a few minutes to gain access to the house, the likelihood of abandoning the offence increases exponentially.
