Angriffe auf Rettungskräfte

Attacks on rescue workers often generate a great deal of media coverage. The reporting is often limited to the description of individual, particularly incisive attacks on those who actually want to provide help. The public outrage is palpable and the reporting also leads to a sensitization of society, politics and the affected rescue workers themselves. The quantitative dark field study is based on a broad survey of about a quarter of all rescue workers in Rhineland-Palatinate. It provides new insights into the extent of violence, perpetrators, crime scenes, victims, causes and prevention options.
