Zahl der Gefangenen in der Schweiz erreicht neuen Höchststand

🤐

Quite impressive considering how low the sentences for even serious crimes are.

Switzerland needs more immigration to enrich the country culturally and compensate for low fertility rates!

When 25% of the population is responsible for 75% of the crimes and 90% of assault crimes, then you know something is wrong.

Just reading the comments here drives me insane again. Every time this topic comes up, all those people come out of their holes and scream „oooh look at all the foreginers in this statistic, all the Ausländers are evil & criminal!!!!111!!!“ – Come on, think. Use the meatball in your head.

Crime does not appear out of nowhere. Factors like poverty, lack of opportunities, poor integration, unstable family situations, addiction, social exclusion, low wages, and the growing number of working poor all play a massive role. This is backed by decades of criminology research, and not just some populistic shit. By the way, the main demographic for criminal activities are males between 18-35, the nationality doesn’t matter.

And yet parties like the SVP focus almost exclusively on migration itself, while supporting policies that often worsen exactly the socioeconomic conditions linked to crime, like: weaker social systems, more inequality, less support for vulnerable people, constant pressure on low-income workers, etc.

If we seriously want lower crime rates, we should invest more in prevention, education, integration, mental health support, youth programs, addiction treatment, and reducing poverty. And not just endlessly scapegoating foreigners every single time prison statistics are discussed.

But yeah we have no money here for such things, because we urgently need to help the poor economy that does so much for us. Lower taxes, 13th for the retired, higher MwSt and so on.

As long as we continue blaming everyone else for our homemade issues, we’re never going to get any kind of improvement.

Perfect news for political parties who push for the 10 million cap votation looking for scapegoats.
