The last police statistics show it clearly: more and more young people are becoming criminal. Children also grab more and more weapons and celebrate the worst violations. But why is that? The renowned styric psychiatrist and expert Manfred Walzl analyzes the reasons for the “Kroon”.
In September 2024, a 14-year-old killed his brother with a Viking-Bijl-one of many cases of the most brutal juvenile violence. But how is it that children and adolescents kill others or seriously injure it?
Jealousy, anger and anger
“There is no explanation for this, it is rather a mix,” says psychiatrist Walzl. “The teenage murders do not differ significantly from adult crimes. Behind them are jealousy, anger and anger. But also often victims are a perpetrator, especially in the family area when they were beaten or never understood.”
Moreover, there is gangrime, “because nowadays it is chic to prove yourself for others”. Interesting is that this does not reflect on the size in the statistics. Just as little as you can say that it is only a result of migration. Or still a series of the Corona measures.
“Electronics replaces donation”
“Where the hat really burns is always where the family is not working. And that is the real problem. If parents today we have far too little contact with the children. The electronics replace attention. And that is the real difficulty,” says the judicial expert from years of experience he gets in many processes.
“The average family talks to each other 16 minutes a day. You can’t solve a problem.” Banalities such as eating together, talking together or a journey together – that would be the ideal preventive means. “I have to know how my child is doing. Only then can I prevent.”
“Cool is just a rapper with a crop”
The trivialization of violence and the lack of role models also play a role. “Cool is only a rapper with a criminal record,” says Walzl. But prevention only works through society: “There is no pill against it.” The psychotherapeutic conversation is also only useful if the parents’ house is able to take care of the offspring. “And if it doesn’t leave it on the mobile phone and social media. That is the catastrophe,” the doctor paints a dark image of the future.
