> Switzerland is seeing a huge increase in violent crime. 16.6% between 2021 and 2022.

2020-2023 data should be mostly ignored, especially by news websites trying to generate clickbait content.

It's like when UK politicians gloated how they reduced shoplifting/burglary rates.

Yes, it was lockdown with shops closed and people sitting at home, of course rates went down.

Same thing here, there's no point drawing conclusion in data between 2021 (lockdowns) and 2022.

> The FSO noted [...] crime rates have shot back up to 2019 levels.
