The discussion about knife power in Germany is initiated by more and more incidents. The origin of the perpetrators is often discussed in particular after knife attacks in Aschaffenburg and Brokstedt. The deadly attack of an Afghan asylum seeker in Aschaffenburg has re -losing the debate about migration and criminal behavior. The crime statistical surveys show a worrying trend: Knife attacks have been targeted since 2020, which documents an increase in these crimes. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), a total of 8,951 knife attacks were registered in 2023, an increase compared to 8,160 in 2022 and 7.071 in 2021. This leads to an increased examination of the subject of violent offenses and their background, reports by stern.de .

statistical surveys to knife attacks

The police crime statistics (PKS) also records knife attacks in connection with predatory offenses. In 2023, 4,893 knife offenses were therefore recorded, which also represents an increase compared to previous years. Particularly alarming, the increase in violent offenses at German borders, train stations and airports, where there were 777 incidents in 2023.

The majority of suspects in knife attacks are men who are almost 90% over 21 years old. In North Rhine-Westphalia, for example, the statistics differ significantly to German and foreign suspects: 2.226 are German origin, while 1,765 non-German suspects were registered. People from Syria, Poland and Turkey dominate among the non-German suspects. These crime statistical data raise new questions and illustrate the complexity of the problem around knife power in Germany.
