The background of violent crime

Violent crimes in Germany make up only less than 4% of all police crimes, but they significantly influence people's feeling of security. This shows how strongly incidents such as the attack in Bremen can shape public perception. In 2024, around 217,000 violent crimes were registered in Deutschand, the highest number since 2007, whereby an increase has been recorded especially since 2021. Psychological stress, in particular on the basis of corona pandemic, as well as economic uncertainties can be possible reasons for this increase in acts of violence, such as the analysis of Statista The increasing number of young violent offenders, who now make a significant proportion of suspects, is particularly alarming. In 2024, around 197,000 people were suspected, around a third of them under the age of 21. This raises questions on social conditions and the role of prevention measures.

The Bremen police will continue to do everything possible to bring light into the dark of these brutal attacks and therefore calls up everyone who has seen something. Your investigation is decisive in order to hold those responsible for accounting and to prevent similar incidents in the future.
