According to an analysis of the [bpb] (https://www.bpb.de/themen/recht- Justice/gangsterlaeufer/203562/jugendkriminalitaet-fahchen-und-fakten/), the crime statistical recording shows that youth crime is predominantly male and is not a clear minority situation. Statistics data prove that 84 % of boys and 69 % of girls between the ages of 13 and 18 become delinquent at least once.
