Five years in prison for brutal bullying in Vienna's judiciary!

In a shattering case of violence at the Vienna-Josefstadt judiciary, a 26-year-old man received a quick support from the court. According to Kleine Zeitung , serious attacks were carried out in the night of October 23, 2023, which together with three other Hungarian was accommodated by a cell. The main perpetrator, physically superior and at the same time jealous, incorrectly accused the 26-year-old of having a relationship with his wife.

The brutal abuse not only included physical violence. The main perpetrator hit the man and seriously injured him, while two prisoners held him on an armchair. In an act of humiliation, the main perpetrator shaved his head to the 26-year-old and tattooed him an obscene picture on his right shoulder with a soot-blackened nail and shampoo. The person concerned reported on persistent shame and expressed that he no longer decreases his T-shirt while showering.

legal consequences

The punishment imposed on him could result from several factors associated with the current social handling of violent crimes. As explained in a recent study from Heidelberg , both physical and sexualized violence are important social issues that cause long-lasting traumatizations among the victims. The study emphasizes the need for acute support for victims and preventive measures to prevent future acts.

social responsibility and prevention

A central element to combat violence in prisons is the participation in crazy programs to prevent potential perpetrators preventive. Research shows that crime -oriented psychotherapeutic treatments can significantly reduce the relapse rate among already convicted perpetrators. In Baden-Württemberg, household funds were provided to support such treatment programs in several correctional facilities. Pilot projects on facilities such as Adelsheim, Bruchsal and Mannheim are planned.

The examination of the detained perpetrators who took part in therapeutic interventions between February 2010 and August 2014 aims to analyze effectiveness and changes in the properties of criminals. Disturbed thinking patterns, affective deficits and a lack of empathy that have been found in many perpetrators are examined in detail. The results of these studies are crucial for the development of a more effective approach to prevention of violence in correctional facilities.

Overall, the case of the 26-year-old shows both the terrifying reality of violence in prison and the urgent need for preventive measures to protect future victims and to reform the system.
