Trespassing bans on the rise in Austria
Last year, 15,115 prohibitions to enter and approach were issued throughout Austria. Most of these were issued in the federal capital of Vienna. A total of 4272 bans were issued there last year.
The other figures per federal state range between 1.2 and 1.7 bans/1000 inhabitants. Vorarlberg and Tyrol bring up the rear with a figure of 1.2 each, followed by Styria (1.4), Salzburg (1.5), Burgenland (1.5), Carinthia (1.6), Lower Austria (1.6) and Upper Austria with 1.7 bans.
When looking at the absolute figures, however, the statistics roughly correspond to the ranking of the nine federal states by population. Lower Austria, with 2784 bans, is behind the federal capital, followed by Upper Austria with 2656 bans. They are followed by Styria (1715), Tyrol (946), Carinthia (933), Salzburg (850), Vorarlberg (503) and Burgenland (456).
Willingness to report "high"
The number of bans on entering and approaching has risen continuously throughout Austria since 2020: the Federal Criminal Police Office's violence protection report shows 11,652 measures for the first year of coronavirus, with the number rising to 13,690 in 2021 and 14,643 expulsions in 2022. The Ministry of the Interior comments on this trend, stating that the figures show that the willingness to report violence is "high".
