Many people in Germany no longer feel safe. At the same time, trust in the powerless state is declining, challenged by traveling gangs from abroad and criminal extended families. Olaf Sundermeyer takes an unvarnished inventory and asks what we can do against the rampant property crime. In the past ten years, burglaries in Germany have increased by a third. 82 percent of Germans are concerned about the rising property crime. Since the abolition of border controls under the Schengen Agreement, large-scale theft has been on the rise in this country. The criminals are internationally organized. However, the police are hitting national boundaries. Moreover, their monopoly on violence is crumbling in the no-go areas of German cities. Based on years of research, Olaf Sundermeyer explains why organized criminals from abroad are involved.
