On the other hand, series about burglaries of cars are responsible for the increase, usually celebrated by youth gangs. In 2023, 2182 vehicles were still hit, there were already 4909 in 2024.
14.804 of the suspects were younger than 18 years (2023: 11.118), 5066 of them under 14 and therefore without punishment. Here too, a small group is responsible for 30 percent of the business and car burglaries in Vienna.
Cases of rape increase
Forms: the number of violent violations increased by 5.2 percent, which in rapes by 10.9 percent! Violence against police officers (plus 6.1 percent) and predatory offenses (plus 18.1 percent) are becoming more and more. At 26 murders there were seven more than in 2023.
In the meantime, the course is placed in the direction of sharpening youth welfare that is provided on the right, the red-pink coalition takes place after the elections. The social city councilor Peter Hacker (Spö) van Vienna is not against a Neos -OPMARS for forced stay for violent minors in Heimen. That is just the return to the legal situation of the past.
