Such attacks are not just a problem in Offenbach. Youth crime in Germany has been an issue for years that concerns not only the police, but also society. According to Statista, youth violence in Germany rose to around 13,800 cases in 2024, which is more than twice as high as in 2016. Around three quarters of the young suspects are male. The reasons for this increase are diverse and include psychological stress caused by the Corona measures as well as risk factors among those who come from difficult backgrounds, according to the Statista.
