Cities with the highest crime rates in Saxony face public safety challenges that affect residents' quality of life and economic development. Dresden has 0.9 violent crimes per 1,000 residents.

Many cities on this list are actively implementing comprehensive safety strategies including community policing, violence intervention programs, youth mentorship, and economic development initiatives aimed at reducing the conditions that contribute to criminal activity.
