background to violent crime

This argument also makes a highlight of the general situation of violent crime in Germany. According to Statista, violent crimes account for less than 4% of all police crimes. Nevertheless, they strongly influence the feeling of security of the citizens, much more than other offenses such as theft or fraud. Over 217,000 violent crimes have been registered in 2024 - this has been the highest number since 2007. Since 2021, the number of these acts has increased again, which could partly be due to economic uncertainties and social stress. It is particularly worrying that the proportion of young violent offenders has increased and the emotional and psychological stresses from recent years play a role that should not be underestimated.

Another concern of concern is violence against emergency services. In 2023 alone, around 2,740 acts of violence against such service providers were counted. This shows how tense the social situation is at the moment and that people no longer only unload the aggression within their own four walls, but also against those who want to help. A survey showed that 94% of German violence and aggression against people from politics, police and rescue services as a major problem, a fact that urgently needs a solution.
