Crime in classrooms has increased by 76 percent after Corona. Violence advocate Alexander Geyrhofer explains the reasons for this and what can be done about it. He has a gloomy prognosis for the future: “The end of the flagpole has not yet been reached.”
There are alarming facts that the ‘Krone’ reported last week: the number of crimes in schools and educational institutions in Upper Austria has increased by three quarters after the corona pandemic.
While a total of 497 crimes were registered in 2021, which was partly influenced by homeschooling, this had already risen to 875 in 2023. Most of these, more than 500, were so-called crimes against other people’s property, such as theft. But almost 180 physical injuries, i.e. acts of violence, were also reported. A trend that does not surprise Alexander Geyrhofer (60).
