Swastikas on construction sites: Five young people caught in Dresden!
On July 9, 2025, an incident in Dresden-Weißig caused a stir. During the night, several swastikas and other forbidden symbols were sprayed on construction site barriers. Five young people between the ages of 16 and 19 are the focus of the investigation. The police received crucial information from passers-by that led to the identification of the suspects. The young people are now being investigated for using the symbols of unconstitutional organizations. The event not only reflects a growing problem in juvenile crime, but also raises questions about education and social responsibility. Sächsische.de reports.
In recent years, juvenile crime in Germany has reached significant peaks. In 2024, around 13,800 cases of youth violence were registered, more than twice as many as in 2016. Young people aged 14 to 17 and young adults up to 20 are particularly affected, and the number of suspected crimes has also recently increased. Risks such as psychological stress due to Corona measures and specific challenges for young people seeking protection may be contributing to this increase. Male young people also make up the majority of suspects, which is associated with traditional role models and acquired behavior. The debate about reforms in criminal law, including the issue of criminal responsibility, is becoming increasingly important. Statista has dealt with these topics.
