The values were observed in 2025. A place appears only when it publishes this exact metric, so an absent place means missing data rather than a low value. Only published cities with at least 20,000 residents and city-level observations qualify. ## Sources Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik Kanton Zürich 2025 — https://www.zh.ch/content/dam/zhweb/bilder-dokumente/themen/sicherheit-justiz/delikte-praevention/dokumente/pks/aktuell/jahresbericht_2025.pdf Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik 2025 by municipality and legal statute — https://daten.statistik.zh.ch/ogd/daten/ressourcen/KTZH_00001202_00003600.csv Statistica criminale di polizia (SCP) 2025 — https://www4.ti.ch/fileadmin/DI/POLIZIA/documentazione/statistica/rapportiAttivita/statistica_criminale_2025.pdf Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik 2025 — Kanton Luzern — https://polizei.lu.ch/-/media/Polizei/Dokumente/05_Dienstleistungen/Downloads/Statistiken/PKS/2025_PKS_Version_Luzern.pdf?rev=ede4a2d9a09748508934c27d6cfb408c Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik Kanton St.Gallen 2025 — https://www.sg.ch/sicherheit/kantonspolizei/statistiken/_jcr_content/Par/sgch_downloadlist/DownloadListPar/sgch_download_1236379874.ocFile/Kriminalstatistik%20Kanton%20St.Gallen%202025.pdf Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik Basel-Landschaft 2025 — https://bl-api.webcloud7.ch/politik-und-behorden/direktionen/sicherheitsdirektion/polizei/statistik/downloads-statistiken/kriminalstatistik-2025.pdf?_t=1774248918385 Gemeinden — Auszug aus der polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik (PKS) 2025 — https://www.police.be.ch/content/dam/police/dokumente/police-be-ch/d/statistik/kriminalstatistik/Gemeinden_Auszug%20aus%20der%20polizeilichen%20Kriminalstatistik%20%28PKS%29%202025.pdf Aargau 2025 municipality crime tables: StGB, BetmG and AIG — https://www.ag.ch/media/kanton-aargau/dfr/dokumente/statistik/statistische-daten/oeffentliche-statistik/19-kriminalitaet-strafrecht/strafgesetzbuch-gemeinden-2025.xlsx Official Basel-Stadt crime datasets (StGB, BetmG and AIG) — https://data.bs.ch/explore/dataset/100508/ Statistique policière de la criminalité 2025 — Canton de Fribourg — https://www.fr.ch/sites/default/files/2026-03/statistique-policiere-de-la-criminalite--canton-de-fribourg-2025.pdf?v=1773903768 Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik (PKS) Jahresbericht Wallis 2025 — https://www.polizeiwallis.ch/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Jahresbericht-Wallis-2025.pdf Statistique policière de la criminalité 2025 — canton de Genève — https://www.ge.ch/document/42793/telecharger Rapport 2025 de la statistique policière de la criminalité neuchâteloise — https://www.ne.ch/sites/default/files/2026-03/Rapport%202025%20de%20la%20statistique%20polici%C3%A8re%20de%20la%20criminalit%C3%A9%20neuch%C3%A2teloise.pdf ## Cite This citation identifies the ImmigrationDB compilation/page.
