Prevention of youth violence

Federal Ministry of Youth deals intensively with action strategies to prevent child and youth crime. It is pointed out that specialist discussions must be stimulated and thematic priorities must be set in order to sustainably improve the situation.

A statistical survey shows that the majority of children and young people suspected of crimes only appear once before the police or criminal prosecution, while a smaller proportion appear as intensive offenders. These often occur in a social environment with complex problems, such as social disadvantage or experiences of violence. Against this background, preventive cooperation between child and youth welfare services, schools and the police is of utmost importance.

The last few years have shown that crime and violence prevention in Germany has improved qualitatively and quantitatively. A variety of concepts have been established that aim to prevent juvenile crime. However, the challenge remains to identify and effectively combat the causes of arguments and arguments among young people.
