Frankfurt consistently has the highest levels of crime per 100,000 inhabitants in Germany (15.976 crimes per annum in 2008) and is therefore dubbed the German "crime capital".<ref>Source: [http://www.bmi.bund.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/541740/publicationFile/26704/PKS2008.pdf;jsessionid=6379570F9390EB90E94D338941489E83 Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik 2008] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110519021155/http://www.bmi.bund.de/cae/servlet/contentblob/541740/publicationFile/26704/PKS2008.pdf;jsessionid=6379570F9390EB90E94D338941489E83 |date=19 May 2011}}</ref> However, this statistic is often criticized{{citation needed|date=December 2012}} because it ignores major factors: It is calculated based on the administrative 680,000-inhabitant figure while the urban area has 2.5 M inhabitants and on weekdays adds another million people{{citation needed|date=December 2012}} (not counting the 53 million passengers passing through the airport each year). The rate for personal safety-relevant crimes such as murder, manslaughter, rape or bodily harm, is 3.4 percent, placing Frankfurt twelfth in the ranking (related to the official 680,000-inhabitant figure) or number 21 (related to the one-million-figure).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.frankfurt.de/sixcms/media.php/678/Kriminalstatistik_Langfassung.pdf |title=Frankfurt.de: Kriminalitätsstatistik 2009 |access-date=18 October 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111114102613/http://www.frankfurt.de/sixcms/media.php/678/Kriminalstatistik_Langfassung.pdf |archive-date=14 November 2011 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In 2018, the state of Hesse, where Frankfurt is located, was ranked the third-safest state in Germany.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.polizei.hessen.de/ueber-uns/statistik/kriminalstatistik/ |title=Polizeiliche Kriminalstatistik 2020 |access-date=6 May 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190506172940/https://www.polizei.hessen.de/ueber-uns/statistik/kriminalstatistik/ |archive-date=6 May 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref>
