Sweden - Austria - everywhere : Paranoia
A country in paranoia since the murder of the head of government in the 80s and a Serienverge waltiger in the province. All have fear of crime, which in Sweden is less prosperous than anywhere else in Europe. Falling crime figures - aufbauschende media - increasing fear in the population - so the politicians to vote Fang. My esteemed colleague Laurenz Ennser, who is currently abroad semester in Umea weilt, today an absolutely readable article from the “time”. It pays really, the whole article to read, but here the section that concerns me most about the Austrian situation reminds me: He begins with an interview with the Swedish “Aktenzeichen XY” moderator, who is also a successful book author and criminologist itself. He deserves the hype crime itself very well. “Stop, another question: Giwi, Sweden is an unsafe country?
“Oh what,” he replied, “you have here very effort to be attacked.”
Done many murders?
“Oh what, I know only two convicted serial killer. And one, I believe that it was not. ”
Why then this fear of criminals? “Show me. I’m not even too quickly by car. My wife always asks: Do so slow? But I have fear of a Strafmandat. I am an honest, boring person, like most. We all miss the thrill. ” Persson know that this is more than just a game. He knows that in Sweden currently almost 40 new prisons built or expanded. He knows that the amount of time inmates constantly increasing. He knows that the provisions for the early release of prisoners were tightened. He knows that 17,000 police officers in Sweden to be 20,000. He knows that the judges judge harder than before. The small prison in Umea has long been overcrowded. On 43 small, outdated single cells come currently has 52 detainees, effectively the police. Each year, 250 prisoners by prison geschleust funds for the rehabilitation rich only 35 of them. The other? The police will also grab a second time, this is again a success message. What is important is the apparent crime. All this white Persson. Persson do not know what is in a doctoral thesis, which recently at the University of Stockholm has been completed. The fear of crime in the population is already so great that it hardly rises, was a young criminologist. It is no longer anxious fathers and mothers, the topic next hochspielen: There are politicians, supported by victims’ associations and the media. Buhlen politicians and media desperate for public attention. National policy-makers had powers to the EU relating to the economy and they have less influence than ever. They want to save their power and appeal to the instincts of the alleged voters. They call to revenge and to fear. “We must act, we have no other choice, even if we think differently” - the politicians would have given him time and again four eyes, reported the Stockholm criminology professor Jerzy Sarnecki. About 20 seconds in the news would, should announce, “the system” was not hard enough. ” Also we have here in Austria such conditions supplemented with the agitation on asylum seekers, the lump sum as criminals stamped. Austrian People’s Party, Freedom Party, BZO and often surpass SPO slogans to deal with crime, immigration crime, drugs, “asylum seekers”, Sex verbrechern. Always tougher and tougher penalties are required, although nothing, but the population insulin. Really effective measures such as improved rehabilitation detention or conditional dismissal on probation are left Gewasch dismissed. Dear plugged the prisons so full that small thieves by dealing with the right guys to serious criminals. Again and again interesting: George Bush was also the only reason Governor of Texas, because it against his opponent a panic-crime campaign has led - for years been falling crime figures.
