The background of violent crime

These incidents also make a lightly improve the current situation of violent crime in Germany. According to Statista crowds out less than 4% of all crimes recorded by the police, the feeling of uncertainty remains high. Around 217,000 violent crimes were registered in 2024, the highest number since 2007. The trend shows that the number of acts of violence has increased significantly since 2021, while the situation has reached a low point during the Corona pandemic.

Especially young people, under the age of 21, are increasingly playing a major role among the suspects. The Federal Criminal Police Office gives possible reasons for the increase: economic uncertainties and social burdens, which were particularly visible in the context of pandemic. It is therefore not surprising that 94% of German violence and aggression against public people perceive as a serious problem.

The dramatic scenes in Bodenheim not only reflect a isolated case, but also represent a challenge that should be paid to the width of society. Because whether in small or large, dealing with violence remains a central topic.
