Nancy Faeser: Ban of knife cannot replace an orderly asylum policy

knife attacks are increasing in Germany's cities and gets a debate about gun law. Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) plans to strictly regulate the carrying of knives in order to increase the safety of the population. But how effective are such measures really?

A look at the current developments shows that the phenomenon of knife stabbing has increased alarming, especially in large cities such as Berlin and Hamburg. Here, above all, it is young men from countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, Morocco and Iraq who use the knife in escalating situations. These actions often lead to serious injuries or even deaths.

But the question remains whether a simple ban on knives with blade lengths over six centimeters or the complete ban on jumping knives can solve the problem. The reality speaks against it. This may be feasible at focal points such as train stations, where high police presence ensures controls. However, this can hardly be enforced in extensive areas. Preventing an assassination in a targeted manner also seems unrealistic due to such restrictions.

The concept of weapon ban zones, which has already been introduced in some metropolises such as Hamburg, shows a positive effect by expanding the shelter in certain areas by banning weapons in certain areas. This is confirmed by visible success in the control of these zones. Nevertheless, the implementation of such models remains challenging on larger areas, because the personnel and logistical effort is immense.

Ms. Faeser's advance to tighten weapons right is a reaction to claims from several federal states. Especially on weekends there are regular knife attacks in the big cities. These hurtful or even fatal clashes often result from the group dynamics and the "right of the stronger", which is enforced with a knife.

In the long term, however, it becomes clear that these measures only apply to the symptoms. The true challenge is deeper, namely in the insufficiently regulated asylum policy of the past decades. An effective solution therefore requires a more comprehensive and comprehensive concept. An orderly immigration and integration policy could prevent such violent acts.

How politics could prevent this type of events

The government could specifically tackle the causes of such incidents through a determined reform of asylum policy and improved integration of migrants. This means creating clear rules and structures to strengthen social cohesion and avoid parallel societies.

Furthermore, increased promotion of educational and labor market measures would be crucial for migrants. By providing resources for language courses, professional qualifications and social pedagogical support, the chances of successful integration and thus to peaceful coexistence could be increased.

summarized it is shown that a ban on knife alone does not represent the solution to the complex problem. Instead, a clear and long -term measures are required to prevent such incidents in the future and to strengthen security in Germany.
