stabbing
As stabbing one commonly refers to a physical confrontation with the use of knives or daggers . It is sufficient that only one counterparty uses them. The use of longer blades (e.g. on a sword ) no longer falls under this designation.
Knife stabs are much more common than attacks with firearms , for example , as these are much more difficult to obtain. However, the frequently used switchblades are also banned in Germany, for example, if the blade length is more than 8.5 cm. (§§ 2 Paragraph 2, 40 WaffG in conjunction with Appendix 2 to § 2 Paragraph 2 to 4 WaffG).
Knife stabbings usually develop either from a previous dispute ( insult, etc.), in which one side allows the situation to escalate, or as an operation planned in advance to carry out a serious robbery (Section 250 Paragraph 1 No. 1 a, Para. 2 No. 1 StGB ) or dangerous bodily harm (Section 224 (1) No. 2 and 5 StGB). Depending on the severity of the consequences for the victim, serious bodily harm according to § 226 StGB up to and including homicide (§§ 211, 212, 227 StGB).
In order to combat crimes committed with knives, for example, the carrying of knives was banned on the Reeperbahn . Crime committed with knives is also a significant problem in London, which the Metropolitan Police is trying to counteract by increasing searches of passers-by.
