Question for written answer E-001929/2024
to the Commission
Rule 144
Eleonora Meleti (PPE)
Europe is greatly saddened to see the serious problem of juvenile violence taking on increasingly worrying proportions. Every day, in every Member State, we see incidents of extreme violence where those involved – perpetrators and victims alike – are teenagers and young people who do not hold back from unthinkably brutal behaviour. Young people in Europe, in countries such as Greece, France, Germany, Sweden and many other Member States, seem in greater need of help and care than ever before.
Knowing, as we all do, that we as adults should take responsibility for the young and act immediately to ensure their protection and healthy development, does the Commission:
- 1.Intend to adopt measures to prevent, manage and combat this phenomenon and, if so, what are these measures?
- 2.How does the Commission intend to protect and support juvenile victims and juvenile offenders?
- 3.Does it intend to fund national bodies to create an action plan for providing information and preventing and managing juvenile violence through extensive educational programmes and related actions?
