youth crime in focus

This incident is part of a greater phenomenon: youth crime in Europe, especially in Germany, has come into focus in recent years. Statistics show that youth violence in Germany alone achieved a maximum of around 13,800 cases. This value is more than twice as high as in 2016, which leads to concern. A report of the Federal Criminal Police Office emphasizes that psychological stress, as caused by the Corona measures, and risk factors are considered possible reasons for this increase.

It is particularly noticeable that the attacks are predominantly committed by male young people. According to the statistics, almost three quarters of the young suspects are male, which clearly indicates gender challenges within society. Discussions about the effectiveness of tougher sanctions in youth criminal law and the need for preventive measures, in particular through child and youth welfare, are getting louder. It remains to be seen which steps will be taken to counteract these worrying trends.
