A reduction in the sentence for 12 years has been intensively discussed for months. A sexual attack in Tyrol among minors minors again arouses the debate. In a current response from the Ministry of Justice, it becomes clear how things will continue in this case.
As reported, a 12-year-old Tyrolean was sexually abused last year on a school trip by classmates. Because you have not yet reached the punishment, the criminal proceedings have stopped.
The discussion about the reduction of the punishment – most recently at 12 years – is not new. Now she gets another chapter. The opinion of the Ministry of Justice is now available for the initiative of Tyrolean freedom – they have submitted an application in this regard. And this includes revealing details.
“Reduction is not planned”
The clear positioning in advance: “A reduction in the wick of the punishment with the aim of imposing criminal sanctions from the age of 12 from the age of 12 years is not planned by the Federal Ministry of Justice.”
This is justified by the fact that the Austrian legal system is based on the conviction that “the criminal liability of a behavior should only occur if the perpetrator has reached an age limit in which the necessary insight into the wrong of crime can be adopted”. This limit was determined in this country with the completion of the age of 14.
“Existing system largely works”
Moreover, the Ministry of Justice emphasizes that “only a small part of the young population” is punishable and under these crimes “only an extremely small part” is a serious crime. The existing system works in a large part of the cases. “However, the cooperation between the system partners does not work optimally in those couple, but usually very media -effective cases.”
And also exciting the next perspective of the Ministry of Justice: “It can even be the duty of carpentry to remove freedom – especially to keep the child of further damage to a child.”
The focus is on standardization discussions and Co.
In the course of the answer, it is also pointed out that the current government program “stricter measures” for combating juvenile crime – and follows:
- Clarification of the standard also for non -punitive youngsters
- Creation of mandatory case conferences for minor intensive perpetrators
- Creation of specialized socio-education shared apartments of children’s and youth welfare with the option of closely limited forms of forced stay
- Clarification and forcing the enforceability of output restrictions
- Expansion of measures to prevent crime in children
“Work on the implementation of the government program has already begun,” says it.
Tyrolean FPö shouts
“Unfortunately, the statements-as expected. The federal government does not use the chance of in-depth and absolutely necessary reforms in juvenile justice. The government measures are no longer than placebo measures and will not change anything,” emphasizes the FP leader of the State of Markus Abwerzger.
“Real reforms” are needed that Switzerland is “absolute role model” in this area. “Although she has a fine of 10 years, but it has considerably less detained young people than we do,” the politician explains. And there are measures that also mean “a coercion for young people”. “Just talk well and hold the hand, will not hold criminal young people who often still show addictive behavior before criminal actions.”
“Unfortunately this is often too late”
His clear requirements are: “Extensive measures are needed, nearby measured preventive care and an obligation to therapy. But all this is only possible if you reduce feasibility.
