Senior in Karlsruhe Dreifach Victim of Raub - two men in court!

In a worrying incident, two men had to answer in court in Pforzheim because they had attacked a 73-year-old senior in Karlsruhe-Hohenwettersbach. The two perpetrators, masked with storm hoods, violently penetrated the pensioner's bedroom and went against him with blows to enforce their criminal intentions. The men are charged with particularly severe robbery and assault. It is becoming apparent that the statements of everyone involved differ greatly from each other, which makes the investigation difficult and complicates the legal processing. According to bnn.de, this incident sets another alarming sign in a time when violence against seniors repeatedly focuses on public perception.

But what is behind these brutal attacks on older people? They are often men and women who are at risk in their own security. According to [police-beratung.de] (https://www.polizei-beratung.de/themen-und-tipps/getl/get- against-senioren/), violence against seniors can occur in both domestic as well as in the outpatient and inpatient environment. Here the forms of violence differ here, which range from simple abuse to physical violence. Older people are often vulnerable, especially in their own living environment or in care facilities, and are often delivered to the attacks of people who should actually protect or take care of.

The multi -layered causes

The problems of sudden attacks are often complex. Many attacks in the family framework are caused by overwhelmed relatives or nurses who are under great pressure. University studies and reports, as published [violentinfo.at] (https://www.gewaltinfo.at/fachliots/get- against- against- againstmenschen.html), describe that older people often experience violence in their direct environment-be it through neglect, psychological abuse or even physical violence. Particularly alarming: According to the WHO, every sixth person over 60 years of age has to struggle with violence every year.

The prevalence of violence against older people is higher than many think. A study in several European countries has shown that over 30 % of the seniors unfortunately had to experience violent experiences in different nursing contexts. The shapes are diverse: from physical to emotional to financial violence. Often than expected, those in need of care are trapped in the double role, who are both the suffering and the actors in some cases. This leads to an unbearable cycle of violence in care.

How can you help?

What can be done to protect seniors? Relatives should seriously listen to the complaints of their loved ones and take all the signs of abuses or injuries seriously. The [police-beratung.de] (https://www.polizei-beratung.de/themen-und-tipps/get/getlt- against-senioren/) recommends that the home management, supervisory authorities or the police are suspected immediately. The timely course can be decisive here. Relief offers and advice from specialists could also play an important role in order to take the pressure.

at a time when consideration of older generations always remains important, it is essential to be attentive and take the right steps to protect them. In this way, it can be possible to develop a common awareness that violence against older people in whatever form may not be tolerated.
