In France, the number of homicides increased by more than 90% in two decades
There is a trend in the world to return to physical violence, but this trend is ignored or underestimated, the expert said.
In the last 20 years, the number of homicides in France has increased by 91%, reaching an unprecedented level for the country. This on Monday, February 1, writes the newspaper Le Figaro, citing data from the country’s Ministry of the Interior.
Thus, according to police data, last year 4472 murders were registered in the country, which represents an increase in this indicator by 91% in the last 20 years. So in 2000, 2,338 murders were recorded.
The number of robbery-related murder attempts in 2020 increased by 19.3% compared to last year, and murders committed in similar circumstances by 17.1%.
The homicide rate also increased when settling scores among criminals (14.3%). At the same time, the number of beating victims decreased by 7.3%. In general, the number of murders in France has grown steadily since 2013, it is clear from the data of the Ministry of the Interior.
French criminologist professor Alain Boer admitted in an interview with Le Figaro that, in part, in 2015-2016, the increase in the number of murders was associated with the terrorist attacks carried out in France, during which hundreds of people died. At the same time, he stressed that “after the end of a series of major terrorist attacks similar to those that took place in Nice and Paris, the murder curve in the country did not drop at all, the number of victims only increased. “
There are many reasons for this, including health and social crises, as well as the impact on society of various calls to kill on the Web.
“There is a strong trend in the world to return to physical violence, especially in the West. However, this trend is ignored or underestimated,” he said.
We will remember, in France, those arrested for beating a Ukrainian teenager Yuri in Paris were charged.
Earlier, in the Crimea, a resident of the city of Bakhchisarai strangled his little daughter because of crying. At the same time, the man came up with a version that the boy was allegedly poisoned by carbon monoxide from a faulty stove.
