Friday night, in Tarnów, there was a dramatic situation that ended tragically. A 16-year-old boy stabbed his peer who died in infirmary before midnight. The perpetrator was detained by police a fewer 100 meters from the scene.
According to unofficial information, the origin of the conflict was a quarrel over the father of 1 of the boys. The attack occurred in a public place, which caused a large shock among the residents of Tarnow.
Police reported the boy heard the execution charge. A spokesperson for Tarnów police, Paweł Klimek, said that “he heard the charge of murder. They will decide whether he will respond as an adult or as a minor.”
The household court decided to temporarily place the boy in a closed educational center for a period of 3 months. For now, a 16-year-old is in the police detention centre in Krakow. The court hasn't identified a circumstantial facility yet.
This tragedy is an example of force among young people, which is an expanding problem in Poland. According to Central Statistical Office data, in 2020 there were 12,441 crimes committed by persons under the age of 18, which accounts for 11.6% of all crimes registered that year.
The causes of youth force are varied and complex. An expert at the Institute of Psychology, Dr. Katarzyna Śliwa, says that "the main causes of youth force are household difficulties, deficiency of social support and peer pressure."
The resolution of this problem requires the cooperation of institutions and organisations that should work to prevent and combat youth violence. Poland should follow European countries that have more effective systems to combat youth violence.
W The Tarnów should take action to prevent akin tragedies in the future. Local authorities should cooperate with organisations and institutions to make programmes to combat youth violence. The residents of Tarnow should cooperate with the authorities to make a safe and friendly environment for everyone.
Statistics show that youth force is an expanding problem in Poland. In 2020 the Central Statistical Office noted:
* Oh, my God * 12 441 crimes committed by persons under 18
* 11.6% of all crimes recorded in 2020
* 63.4% of all crimes committed by individuals under the age of 18 are related to misunderstanding or quarrel violence
The conclusions of this tragedy are clear: youth force is simply a serious problem that requires cooperation and action from institutions, organisations and residents.
