This article analyzes the systematic measures implemented by the Federal Republic of Germany to ensure public safety and stabilize the criminogenic situation in regions. Advanced mechanisms in German police activities, such as Preventive Policing, Bürgernahe Polizei (community-oriented policing), public cooperation, digital monitoring systems, and crime forecasting methods, are examined. Additionally, the article explores experiences in assessing criminogenic factors in local areas, creating risk maps, working with youth and migrants, and implementing preventive programs. The article proposes practical recommendations for applying effective aspects of the German experience in accordance with local conditions.
