Jung + Stark

Jung & Stark (JS), also known as Young and Strong, is identified as a far-right criminal youth group that has recently emerged in Germany. The organization, along with another group called Deutsche Jugend Voran (DJV), became the focus of recent police activity. In a significant development, German police conducted raids on approximately 50 homes and other locations targeting individuals suspected of involvement with these groups. While no arrests were made during these raids, the action highlights concerns about the growing influence of far-right extremism among youth. The context for these raids is the increasing radicalization of young people through social media, a trend that educators and authorities are actively seeking to combat. The emergence and targeting of groups like Jung & Stark underscore the ongoing relevance of addressing right-wing extremism and its potential impact on German society.
