Angriffe auf Rettungskräfte rufen häufig ein großes Medienecho hervor. Die Berichterstattung beschränkt sich dabei oftmals auf die Schilderung einzelner, besonders prägnanter Angriffe auf diejenigen, die eigentlich Hilfe leisten wollen. Die öffentliche Empörung ist spürbar und die Berichterstattung führt zudem zu einer Sensibilisierung von Gesellschaft, Politik und der betroffenen Rettungskräfte selbst. Die quantitative Dunkelfelduntersuchung ...
