14-year-old confesses bomb threats: school evacuated!

A 14-year-old from the Vöcklabruck district stood the bomb threats against his school, which led to an evacuation. According to Oe24 admitted to the threat of June 28th and June 4th To have sent school management.

After the third drohnachricht, he confirmed his threat in another email, which prompted the school management to act in good time and evacuate the students. Due to his deeds, the boy is now displayed and is expected to pay for the costs of the police operation.

Another case of youth crime

In the same context, a 15-year-old must be responsible for the regional court in Linz. He is accused of also sending bomb threats to three schools by email. This happened on May 7th and affected schools in Linz, Traun and St. Veit an der Glan. The 15-year-old also stood and named "Stress at School" as his motif. He threatens up to one and a half years in prison.

These incidents also skill lightly on the increasing problems of young people by violence and crime. According to The Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth It is important to develop strategies for the prevention of child and youth crime.

prevention approaches in focus

The Ministry emphasizes that the majority of suspect children and adolescents only appear police once. Only about 5-10% of the suspects commit several, sometimes serious crimes. The intensive careers are mostly male adolescents who are faced with complex problems such as social disadvantage, experiences of violence and school problems.

In the past 20 years, the crime and violence prevention has developed qualitatively and quantitatively. So far, numerous concepts have been established to avoid child and youth crime, whereby the cooperation between child and youth welfare, schools, police and judiciary has been increasingly strengthened. However, the implementation of preventive measures is the responsibility of the states and municipalities.

These current incidents illustrate the urgency and need for effective prevention strategies to help young people in crisis situations and to keep them from slipping into criminal milieus. In the long term, this could benefit not only the young people concerned, but also to society by suffocating potential actual acts of violence in the bud.
