A look at violent crime in Germany
Unfortunately, such incidents are not isolated cases. Loud Statista Violent crimes account for less than four percent of all crimes recorded by the police in Germany. Nevertheless, they have a very strong influence on the population's sense of security, often more than thefts or fraud. In 2024, Germany recorded around 217,000 violent crimes - the highest number since 2007.
Young people are particularly affected: around a third of the suspects are younger than 21 years old. This statistical increase in violent crime is often explained by economic insecurity and social stress. The ongoing psychological stress caused by the corona pandemic can also be considered a contributing factor.
