A look at youth crime in Germany

The incidents in Fürth are part of a worrying trend in Germany, where youth power reached a maximum in 2024 with around 13,800 cases. This is more than twice as high as in 2016. Young people between the ages of 14 and 17 and young adults between the ages of 18 and 20 are particularly affected. These increasing numbers are attributed to mental stress by corona measures and experiences of violence among young people seeking protection.

The majority of young suspects are male: in 2024, almost three quarters of the suspects under the age of 21 were male. The discussions about possible measures, such as tougher sanctions in youth criminal law or a reduction in punishment, become more intensive, whereby the emphasis is also strongly on preventive measures by child and youth welfare to prevent criminal résumés.
