More and more violent crime
Cases like this should not be viewed in isolation.

The trend is worrying as numbers have been rising again since 2021 after reaching a low point during the coronavirus pandemic.
One wonders what the reasons for this development could be. Experts cite economic uncertainties and social pressures as possible causes. Another aspect is the psychological stress caused by the pandemic. In 2023, the police even recorded high levels of violence against rescue workers - an alarm signal for society.
The reality of a robbery
The circumstances of the attack show a worrying picture of violence in public spaces. Several attacks have already been reported in Schwäbisch Gmünd. These developments raise questions: How safe do citizens feel in their city? What can be done to reduce such incidents?
