The 32 cases stretch from mid-April to the beginning of November 2024. Two of the cases are closed, in one of the cases a 16-year-old boy from Sweden was sentenced to 5.5 years in prison for attempted murder in Copenhagen earlier this week.
It's an alarmingly large number, says David Sausdal, Danish criminologist at Lund University, to Politiken, about the 32 cases.
Previously, it was a status symbol in gang environments to commit violent acts, today it is increasingly being outsourced.
Instead of risking being caught yourself, you pay 16-year-old Ahmed or Adam to do the risky dirty job, says Sausdal.
