Background and contextual classification
Violent crimes like this are relatively rare in Germany and account for less than 4% of all crimes recorded by the police, but their impact on the population's sense of security is significant. The Statista points out that over 217,000 violent crimes were recorded in 2024, which is the highest number since 2007. These numbers are alarming, especially since violent acts have increased again since 2021 after reaching a low during the corona pandemic.
The reasons for this are complex and range from economic uncertainty to social pressures. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), the psychological stress caused by the Corona measures is also contributing to the increase in acts of violence. What is particularly noteworthy is that the proportion of young violent offenders has increased since 2021; About a third of the suspects are under 21 years old.
In recent years, violence against rescue workers has also increased, which has put an additional strain on the general security situation and has become a problem for society as a whole. A survey in May 2024 showed that 94% of Germans perceive violence and aggression against public figures as a serious challenge.
The tragic incidents in Lünen form part of this complex situation and leave questions that go far beyond the sad story of a single crime. The investigation will show whether there will be legal consequences for the victim's partner and what further details might emerge.
