The police of Austria pronounced 14,600 forbidden and prohibitions last year. This is a decrease of 2.85 percent. On Friday, representatives of the violent protection centers “made suggestions for solutions”, such as tightening access.
For weapons in category C, guns and shotguns it would need ‘a reliability test’, said Karin Gölly, director of the Burgenland Violence Protection Center. Otherwise, access is too simple. There must also be an increase for reimbursement for reimbursement in the victim legislation of crime. Deadlines must be omitted. The fixed rate compensation has not been adjusted since 2013.
In any case, the impression should not arise that the police do not help, said Marina Sorgo, chairman of the Federal Association and director of the Styria Violence Protection Center. The Centers for Protection Centers receive information about the guardianship and increase in the police so that they can approach the affected.
The forbidden and rapprochement have developed since 2022.
Moreover, people also turn to the facilities that have not been with the police before. Perhaps people are ready to get help earlier today, and psychological violence is now being taken seriously.
Advice and guidance
A total of 25,114 people hit by violence were taken care of last year. 80 percent were female, 20 percent male. “Our offer applies to all women, men and children and young people and is of course free and confidential,” Sorgo said. The violent protection centers would give advice, but also legal and psychosocial support. They work closely with the well -being of children and youth and with perpetrators advisory centers.
“Prevention starts with the structural, cultural equality to solve traditional role models,” said Sorgo. Sufficient healthcare should also prevent mental disorders and further training and further training of certain professional groups from being prevented
“At the same time, we know that they could not get any help in nine out of ten cases of murdered women. We also have to concentrate on this. This must be observed over a longer period.
