Between 2017 and 2021, the number of acts of violence fell again after 2021.

social effects and perception

A survey in May 2024 shows that 94% of German violence and aggression against public life perceive as a major problem. Possible reasons for the increase in violent crime are economic uncertainties and social burdens, which were also reinforced by the Corona pandemic. In addition, the proportion of young violent offenders has increased, gaps in care and support could also tighten the situation.
