Robber arrested in Elmshorn: prison sentence threatens after a breach of probation!

Elmshorn, Deutschland - On Thursday evening there was a arrest at the train station in Elmshorn that called on the plan. A 43-year-old man who had previously been convicted of robbery was taken into custody. The background of his arrest are both tragically and revealing for legal practice in dealing with probation requirements.

The convict was sentenced to a prison sentence of one year and ten months in 2014. After the performance of some of this punishment, he was released prematurely on probation. But what could have looked like a new beginning for him quickly turned into a relapse into old mistakes. Violations against the probation requirements led to a residual penalty of 246 days, which was imposed by a judge in April this year. However, the man did not appear to start prison, which caused the public prosecutor to initiate his arrest, which was finally carried out by the federal police at the end of May. After the arrest, the 43-year-old was transferred to the Kiel correctional facility, where he now has to start his remaining prison sentence in order to sell the 246 days that is still open to him.

As the statistics show, dealing with criminal persons is not an isolated case. According to the law enforcement statistics of the Statistical Federal Office, several institutions in Germany are pursuing crime and their work -up. The statistics not only reflect on the number of people who are abjured, but also give an insight into the demographic characteristics of the convict. This information is crucial to draw a comprehensive image of crime and its causes in Germany.

A look at the official statistics also shows that not all suspects are finally made in court. Some procedures are discontinued due to insignificance or, for example, because the suspicion is not considered sufficient. The police crime statistics offer comprehensive insights into the “advent” of various offenses and their educational rate.

Review in focus

The subject of the 43-year-old becomes particularly relevant. Statistics and judgments clarify that the repetition of crimes often leads to a revocation of the requirements during the probation period. An example of this is the case of another convicted person whose conviction was also suspended in 2018 due to theft. Despite the editions set -up, repeated punishable behavior caused the probation to be revoked. A prerequisite for such decisions are strict legal regulations that also apply to the Elmshorner man.

The drama around the 43-year-old reflects a major problem: the narrow line between a second chance and the endangerment of public security. The events in Elmshorn are an urgent memory of the fact that the probation depends on a serious change in behavior and that a good knack is required when making decisions about freedom and imprisonment.

Current statistics and knowledge about crime and again and again show how complex the challenges in the German judicial system are. It is all the more important to critically discuss the role of public perception and the question of how to deal with criminal persons.
