Crime in the Czech Republic
Crime in the Czech Republic is combated by the Czech Police and other agencies.
General
In 2009, there were approximately 330,000 crimes committed in the Czech Republic.[1] The number of murders fell from 202 in 2008 to 181 in 2009.[2] The U.S. Department of State rates the Czech Republic as a ‘low’ crime threat location.[3]
Car thefts and break-ins are common in the Czech Republic, especially in major cities.[4] Pick pocketing is a large problem in the Czech Republic, particularly in crowded tourist spots.[5]
Roma
Roma make 2-3% of population in the Czech Republic. According to Říčan (1998), Roma make up more than 60% of Czech prisoners and about 20-30% earn their livelihood in illegal ways, such as prostitution, trafficking and other property crimes.[6]
