In Vienna, the number of suspects between ten years and 14 explodes. With a five -point program, the city of Vienna now wants to stay against it and bring young people away from crime.
According to the Federal Criminal Police Office, the number of suspects from ten to 14 years of 9730 suspects increased by 23.8 percent in the previous year.
In Vienna, the number of suspects in this age group exploded: from 2392 in 2023 to 5066 last year – that meant an increase of 112 percent.
Up to 40 “Systems Spencer” in Vienna
Johannes Köhler, head of Vienna and Youth Welfare (Mon 11), spoke on Monday from 30 to 40 minor “System Sprinkles”. Moreover, an increasing risk for his employees must also be determined. There is an injured social worker every two weeks.
Together with the directorate of the State Police and the Federal Criminal Police Office, the federal capital now wants to take a 5-point plan in the “Child and Youth Crime” working group. Petra Huber-Lintner of the Federal Criminal Police Office pointed out that it also took a lot to take no measures. Because “every intensive perpetrator causes 1.7 million euros in proceedings,” she said
Closed facilities as the last remedy
The focus is on early warning systems, intensive care, orientation aids and – as the last step – closed facilities for children who get completely out of hand. To actually implement these closed facilities, federal legislation is still required.
Pilot project starts in June
The pilot project starts on 1 June. There is an early warning system for so -called thresholds. Children who are criminal offenses for the first time receive a security consultation with their parents. Then a monitoring begins that take further steps in further incidents. The child is accompanied by social workers. The goal is: Encarriage early before a child slips. Anyone who is always punished always slides into the next phase of the new model.
In the future there should be a new trust system for minor intensive perpetrators who have more than 50 police forecasts per year: orientation assistance with permanent care providers. These children are usually traumatized by changing home, are considered “system sprayers”.
According to the AG representatives, it was agreed that a reduction in the age for the punishment of punishment “has no sense”. The police officer: “But it is not possible that twelve -year -old Vienna is inhaling because we miss the legal options.” According to the currently applicable legal situation, children may not be locked up in crisis centers and shared apartments, Köhler added.
