What is particularly alarming is the increase in young violent perpetrators, a significant proportion of whom are now under the age of 21. Citizens' sense of security could easily be shaken by the increasing numbers.

At a time when violence in various forms and against different groups is increasing, it is essential that people keep an open ear about this issue. The feeling of security will only be regained if affected people work together and protect each other.
