A look at juvenile crime
The increase in such incidents sheds light on the general situation of juvenile crime in Germany, which, according to an analysis by Statista reached a peak of around 13,800 cases in 2024 - more than twice as many as in 2016. There is increasing discussion about the application of criminal law to children under 14, particularly in relation to serious crimes. The background is complex, with psychological stress caused by Corona measures and other risk factors among young people often cited as causes.
What is particularly striking is the high proportion of males among the young suspects. In 2024, almost three quarters of the suspects were male. Even though a decline in the number of young suspects for all crimes has been noted, the discussion about preventative measures continues. Police are appealing to the public to be vigilant and to act quickly if they see anything. Prevention remains the central strategy for preventing criminal careers.
