Shock in Marne: 18-year-old seriously injured after stabbing!
In Marne, a small town in the Dithmarschen district, there was a serious incident between two youth groups in the early evening hours. An argument escalated and an 18-year-old man was seriously injured in the head. The injured man was immediately flown to West Coast Hospital in a rescue helicopter. The situation occurred near the bus station and indicates a worrying trend in youth violence. The NDR reports that a 16-year-old teenager, who is considered a suspect, has already been arrested. A knife was used in the altercation, underlining the seriousness of the incident.
This incident should not be viewed in isolation. According to a recent study, there has been an increase in violence among young people since 2015. In a harsh social climate in which frustration and lack of prospects are increasing, violence and aggression seem to be on the rise among young people. [ZDF]. Society is asking itself how it should deal with delinquent young people in order to calm them down and counteract a further increase in juvenile crime.
Social challenges
The incident in Marne highlights the challenges facing society. The film “Out of Control” addresses this issue and gets to the heart of the dissatisfaction of many young people. The [Spiegel](https://www.spiegel.de/panorama/justiz/ Schwerte-jugendlicher-sticht-18-jaehrigen-vor-tripwagen-nieder-a-96131a74-ab49-4e1f-9acf-7bc20b9fcb02) highlights similar incidents and the difficulties that are often associated with the increase in youth violence. Young people often feel like they are in a hopeless situation and are looking for an outlet for their internal pressure.
An innovative approach that could show positive results is the “Seehaus Leipzig” project. Here, young people in juvenile detention live in an environment without walls and barred windows. Instead, they live in shared apartments with families who offer intensive care and strive to open up new perspectives. This concept aims to give young people a feeling of security and to reintegrate them into society.
Another step in the right direction is the prevention approach of the Hamburg youth protection police, which tries to promote trust between young perpetrators and victims through presence and dialogue work. Given the recent events in Marne, it is clear that it is more necessary than ever to listen to young people and show them ways out of violence.
