It is reported that up to 70% of the students have become delinquent in the past 12 months, with violent offenses of 61% of 61% in boys and 37% in girls.

Although the figures on youth crime have decreased in recent years, the notification of the notification remains low in many cases. In the case of assault, it is only around 12.5%. It can also be seen that young people often become more victims than perpetrators of violence, especially in family contexts. Despite an increase in the field of digital crime, for example through illegal downloads, the majority of the offenses remain easier in the area of ​​offense.

social factors as influencing factors

The crime burden of young people with a migration background is often overestimated in statistics. Integration problems and social positions are decisive factors that can increase the risk.

Studies show that many young people who become a criminal offense act episodically and often react to social circumstances.

The present events in Vienna raise questions about the current situation of youth crime. It remains to be hoped that suitable measures and social support can continue to be curved.
