State parliament discusses tensely: youth crime and asylum in focus!
Today, everything in the North Rhine-Westphalia state parliament revolves around important issues: youth crime, asylum and security. How n-tv reports, there will be a current hour at 10:00 a.m. that will focus on a new study on juvenile crime. This study was carried out by scientists at the University of Cologne and sheds light on the causes of the increase in crimes among children and young people.
The causes are complex: violent interactions in the parental home, increased psychological stress, a lack of self-control and a reduced fear of sanctions are mentioned as central factors. Against this background, the FDP and AfD factions have submitted a motion that is intended to initiate discussions about possible consequences from the results of the study.
Amendments to the law for more security
Another item on the agenda is the amendment to the Constitutional Protection Act, which is intended to create more security in North Rhine-Westphalia. The existing law was last adjusted more than 30 years ago. The current international challenges, in particular the Russian war against Ukraine and the Islamist-motivated attack in Solingen in which three people lost their lives, represent clear reasons to make improvements here.
In addition, an implementing law on federal asylum law is being discussed, which aims to relieve the burden on municipalities. The regulation stipulates that refugees with poor prospects of staying will be accommodated in special state facilities for up to 24 months. However, groups in particular need of protection are exempt from this regulation.
Broadcasting reforms
Not to be forgotten are the three media law treaties, which are also on the agenda. These contracts aim to reform public broadcasting. A new way of working and defined tasks for ARD, ZDF and Deutschlandradio are planned. The reform will come into force as soon as all federal states agree; Most have already agreed, only Brandenburg and Lower Saxony are still pending.
At a time when social trust in institutions can be waning, such measures are being put to the test. The upcoming deliberations of the state parliament are not only crucial for future security and integration policy, but also for social coexistence in North Rhine-Westphalia as a whole.
