context on increased violent crime

The brutality of the crime throws a shadow on the general security conditions in Germany. According to a current police crime statistics, the number of violent crime rose to around 215,000 cases - the highest level in 15 years. This draws a worrying picture, since other crimes such as dangerous and serious physical injuries have achieved a new maximum value. The Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Herbert Reul, attributes the increase in crimes to a changed social mood, while Lower Saxony's Interior Minister Daniela Behren's economic factors and migration movements as influencing factors.

the increase in violent crimes represents an alarming reality that increasingly questions the feeling of security in the cities. Even if the police are solving around 58 percent of the crimes, there is a clear risk for the population, which is underlined by around seven percent to 2.25 million by increasing the suspects.
