A look at long -term development shows that the number of young people in Austria has increased between 2013 and 2023. The 10 to 14 year olds doubled the number of 4,800 to almost 10,000, while the group of 14 to 18 year olds increased from 24,800 to 34,000. This leaves many questions open: What are the causes of this development? And how can you act effectively?

expertise and preventive measures

The State Youth and Integration Councilor Christian Dörfel emphasizes the need to sanction regular violations in order to protect state authority. It is also important to understand the causes of youth crime and to create perspectives for young people affected. The study of experts also shows that social problems in urban metropolitan areas, such as tense family relationships or economic difficulties, must be regarded as risk factors. Milefitude, violence and the influence of social networks also contribute to youth crime. In order to counteract this, new prevention programs, such as violent prevention workshops and digital consultations, are being considered.

The responsible persons call for cooperation to cope with the social challenges. The newly established control group for non -violent cooperation should start their work at the end of March and coordinate the help of many actors to develop measures that promote living together in Vienna and focus on violence prevention.
