FPÖ calls for: penalty to 12 years - security first!
FPÖ calls for: penalty to 12 years - security first!
Aschaffenburg, Deutschland - On April 25, 2025, the FPÖ judicial spokesman NaBG commented. Mag. Harald Stefan on a significant debate about the reduction in penalty in Austria. Stefan emphasizes that the measures to protect the population must be taken, especially in view of the increase in serious crimes committed by underage minors. The crimes mentioned include serious acts of violence, murder, rape, robbery and car break -ins. However, the FPÖ application for reducing the penalty to twelve years, which was already brought in in 2021, was not approved and was considered to send children to prison.
Stefan points out that responsibility for such acts may not be sufficiently regulated in under-14 year olds. He calls a case of a 14-year-old intensive offender who has already committed 1,200 crimes. This illustrates the need to rethink the legal framework. According to ots, an individual examination should be considered as the last option become. He refers to the Swiss model as a model.
criticism of political rejection
In his speech, Stefan criticizes the rejection of the application by other parties such as the ÖVP, SPÖ, Neos and Greens. He argues that the current legislation no longer meets the real threats that arise from imported crime. This is in the context of an intensive discourse on immigration and crime, which was strengthened by recent events such as knife attacks in Aschaffenburg and attacks in Magdeburg and Munich. These incidents have fueled fears within the population, which underlines the need for a more objective debate about these topics, as Zeit reported.It is important to emphasize that, although there are many concerns about security, the actual figures regarding crime in Germany show that serious crimes have decreased since the 2000s while immigration has increased at the same time. Compared to their proportion of population, immigrants are disproportionately represented in crime statistics, but demographic and socio -economic factors are important. Young male immigrants are actually more often involved in crimes, which also applies to German citizens who live in similar conditions.
relationships and social factors
[bpb] (https://www.bpb.de/themen/inne-sicherheit/dossier-inere-sicherheit/301624/migration-und-kriminalitaet- experiences-und-neuere- developments/) that if migrants are punishing, this is often due to stressful living conditions and social inequalities. Adult migrants with permanent access to the labor market are rarely delinquent, while crime among people who live in shared accommodation is more pronounced. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the total number of registered crimes has not increased significantly in recent years, which appeals to the spread of prejudices.
The integration of minor migrants plays a crucial role in their crime development. Educational institutions are viewed as a key to success in order to offer children from immigrant families a perspective. The number of suspected young migrants is declining, which indicates that targeted integration measures can have an effect.
Overall, the topic of immigration and crime is complex and requires differentiated solutions that take into account both the safety of the population and the legal framework for young criminals.
