Cruel convictions: rapists from Rotherham receive high prison terms
In a shocking development, two men in England were sentenced to long prison terms for multiple rape by two 15-year-old girls. The actions that already occurred in a children's home in Rotherham between 2011 and 2012 have now been announced by the country's National Crime Agency. The perpetrators, at the age of 37 and 42, had sexually abused the girls under the influence of alcohol. They were imposed for prisoners of 20 and 18.5 years, while a third, Polish suspect, whose judgment is still pending, is held responsible for his actions, as well as krone.at reported .These convictions are part of a larger scandal about gang -based sexual exploitation in Rotherham, in which over 1100 children were identified between 1997 and 2013, the victims of such crimes. Critics of the police and the authorities comment on massive allegations that the perpetrators have been far too late and not sufficiently. The convicted perpetrators come from Zimbabwe and the Ivory Coast, while many other perpetrators were in Pakistani origin in this scandal. In order to cope with this problem, the "Stovewood" operation was launched, which is now to process the existing abuse cases.
The influence of gender roles on violent behavior
In the context of violence among young people, a program in Hamburg shows how important the understanding of gender roles is. In the boxing training of the "boxing school" program, children and adolescents learn to meet their aggression in a healthy way. Many participants have become conspicuous at school for violence or bullying. Olaf Jessen, owner of the sports center, explains that the training not only promotes physical fitness, but also trains discipline and respect. Around a third of the participants are girls who also want to break out of the piral of violence. However, it becomes clear that girls who are violent have no less serious problems than boys, since they are often shaped by social expectations, such as Deutschlandfunk Kultur reported .
The reference to violence as a coping strategy is also evident in the reports of the violence prevention counseling center, which examines physical and psychological attacks in schools. It is striking that the majority of the perpetrators are male, while gender distribution in bullying is rather the same. Such social behavior patterns, which often come for vulnerable backgrounds, are imposed both boys and girls as part of their identity finding, with everything that means for their later social interaction.
