The annual crime statistics were presented on Monday as part of a press conference. In 2024, 534,193 advertisements were submitted- an increase of 6183 ADS or 1.2 percent compared to 2023. Above all, the significant increase in crimes of ten to 14-year-olds is alarming.
With juvenile crime, there is a significant increase in crimes as a result of ten to 14-year-old suspects the number of advertisements has almost doubled since 2020. It is striking that 48 percent of suspects are foreign citizens, including a particularly large number of Syrian youth. The number of advertisements with Syrian citizens as suspects are almost almost 35 percent increased.
Analyzes thus show “Intensive perpetrators”
The Federal Criminal Police Office launched the operational group of youth crime under the leadership of Dieter Csefo to take on the increasing number of crimes due to young intensive perpetrators. Especially alarming: some young people have committed hundreds of crime, especially in the field of crime of ownership before their 14th birthday. This includes, for example, burglar theft in cars or machines.
Karner remains the reunification
Minister of the Interior Gerhard Karner trusts extensive measures, such as the suspension of family burgers for Syrian citizens and the anchoring of regular instructions according to criminal offenses. In addition, case conferences between the police, the judiciary and the youth authorities are intended to strengthen the responsibility of the parents. To combat modern youth crime, the police call on for more digital research competence and stronger legal foundations.
“The advertising statistics of the police not only show the current state, but also the need for action,” concluded the director of the Federal Criminal Police Office. “We need more digital research competence and robust legal foundations against modern crime.” Social support is just as important – not only in exceptional situations, but also in daily use.
