Duration: 1/11/2020 - 30/9/2022 | Funding: Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community (BMI)

The National Institute for Public Administration Germany was commissioned by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community to investigate the prevalence of violence against public sector employees. The aim of the project was to create a factual basis for the development of sustainable and differentiated strategies for dealing with violence against public sector employees, as there are currently no comprehensive figures on assaults on public servants and no systematic overview of practical experience with approaches to curbing violence. The project was conducted by the National Institute for Public Administration Germany in close cooperation with the German Confederation of Trade Unions (DGB) and the German Civil Service Federation (dbb).
