background to arson

arson is a widespread problem that often occurs in other regions such as Berlin. The motives for this can range from vandalism to insurance fraud to political motives. Historically speaking, there have been repeated phases with accumulations of arson in various areas, such as an article of the Berliner Tagessblatts illustrated.

In Berlin there are also regular reports of arson attacks on vehicles, whereby the clarification is often difficult by difficult evidence. A look back at the statistics shows that arson is often locally concentrated and the respective conditions of a district play a role.

The investigations and the investigation of such offenses present the authorities with great challenges. While some actions are committed in public transport and vehicles, the motives and the causes are often unknown. The Berlin police published extensive statistics on arsons, which, however, only map part of the reality, since many acts are not reported.
