New program to prevent youth crimes through sexting!
An innovative program for the prevention of young people before the legal consequences of sexualized content demonstrated its effectiveness in the first year. According to a report by 5min.at , a total of 127 young people, including 20 aged 14 to 16, were included in the "Safe.net" program after they were started after they Ownership of child abuse images with the law had come into conflict. The majority of the clients came from Upper Austria, while Vorarlberg and Tyrol had the slightest number.
goals and content of the program
The six -month program pursues the goal of preventing convictions as sexual offenders, since such punishments can result in far -reaching consequences. Intensive individual and group sessions were offered to clarify the young people about the legal framework, especially with regard to "sexting"- the sending of sexually clear messages or images via mobile messaging services. Thomas Marecek, spokesman for restart, emphasizes that many young people are often not even aware that they can make themselves punishable with the possession of certain images.
So far, 50 percent of young people have been assigned to a diversion, while the other half was included in the program after a conviction, for example due to violations according to the prohibition or addictive law. The program trains the participants in media literacy and dealing with pornography in order to point out the legal consequences of their behavior. As reports Salzburg.orf.at , the positive interim balance of the initiative shows that the knowledge that the young people acquire in the program is also spread in their friends.| Details | |
