an incident in the context of increasing crime

The attack on the Geissens falls into an alarming context in which crime in France has increased in recent years. Official statistics show an increase in property crimes and violent crimes, especially in urban areas such as Paris, Marseille and Lyon. The causes of this development are social inequality and economic challenges that are often intensified in problem areas or "Banlieues". Bosblog emphasizes that the French population is relatively young, which is relatively young to be higher Crossing crime rates.

The increasing crime has not only affected the feeling of security of many French, but also that of tourists. Although tourism in France remains stable, tourists have become increasingly careful. Popular attractions have strengthened their security precautions to prevent attacks such as those on Geissens. The government has already taken measures, such as the strengthening of the police presence and expansion of video surveillance in problematic areas to combat the increasing crime rates.

Robert Geiss commented on the incident as a targeted use of an unsecured moment, since the patio door was eliminated and the alarm system was switched off. The Gendarmerie from Saint-Tropez has taken over the investigation and plans to send the results to the public prosecutor's office in Draguignan. Despite the shock that the Geissens had to experience, they hope for an early arrest of the perpetrators and for a safe environment in their home.
