The number of customers in the probationary period of the Neustart Association achieved a new high in 2024 with 12,300. The increase of 3.5 percent compared to the previous year, according to the restart of the association, is due to the fact that judges are increasingly falling back on Proefijdhulp to prevent further crimes.
In the past ten years, the number of customers of the association has increased by 13 percent. However, the reason for the increased use of Proefijdhulp is not that there are legally binding beliefs. Instead, the instrument of Proeftijdhulp on Thursday is becoming increasingly popular in court, according to Neustart director Alfred Kohlberger on Thursday. The number of legally binding convictions decreased in 2024.
Supervised Association has a good testimony
In a study in January 2025, 99 percent of the guidance stated that they were satisfied with the restart work. 93 percent said that their lives improved thanks to the support of the association. “This support gives away factors that lead to the punishment,” Kohlberger said about the result. Restart gives advice of violence prevention on behalf of the Ministry of the Interior.
About 3075 of a total of 12,300 customers in 2024 were provided by volunteers. “This civil society anchores work with people who have committed crimes is extremely important and unique in Europe,” says Kohlberger.
