" "Keputusan ini hanya untuk memberikan cara

Seperti kebiasaan orang2 bule, kalau ada sesuatu yang mereka tidak mengerti, mereka langsung mempelajarinya. Berikut adalah kutipan dari koran di Denmark. --------------- http://www.cphpost.dk/get/81083.html Rise in young immigrant violent crime The Copenhagen Post 25.08.2004 Print article (IE & NS 4+) Young immigrants represent an ever-increasing segment of the nation's juvenile delinquents. Meanwhile, violent crimes throughout Copenhagen are on the rise City police are concerned about the rising incidence of immigrant teens wielding knives - and using them. Children of immigrant families are dominating the capital city crime scene like never before, representing an increasing segment of arrests for violent crime, even as crime rates for their Danish-born peers are on the decline. "The situation is extremely alarming. We've been aware of the trend for a while now, but things are moving in the wrong direction entirely," said Copenhagen Police inspector Per Larsen. Larsen spoke with Jyllands-Posten after the release of pessimistic figures from Copenhagen Municipal Court. In the first seven months of the year, 63 juveniles were arraigned on charges stemming from violent crimes. 53 of these youngsters came from immigrant families, while just 10 were Danish born. The latest arrest figures represent the highest crime rate for immigrant youth in five years, and the lowest rate for native Danes. According to Larsen, immigrant teenagers are typically arrested on assault and robbery charges, and these crimes increasingly involve the use of knives. "We've gone back to the way things were around the year 2000, when the problem was serious. Young immigrant gangs have a much higher profile. And they're not just limited to parts of N�rrebro or the inner city late at night on the weekends - they're present wherever large groups of people gather, and gang members are increasingly quick to pull a knife in these situations," said Larsen. Copenhageners have been shocked by a number of brutal stabbings over the past year involving immigrant teenagers. First came the killing of Italian tourist Antonio Curr�, who was knifed down in N�rrebro last August. Two young immigrants will stand trial for Curr�'s killing in two months' time. Last month, a 21-year-old bystander became inadvertently involved in a fight in front of Vestergade discotheque Woodstock, and was stabbed in the heart by a 19-year-old youth of non-Danish ethnicity. Ten days later, central Copenhagen was the scene of yet another late-night stabbing, when an American exchange student sustained multiple stab wounds to the chest after an altercation with five immigrant boys on Kgs. Nytorv. Last weekend, a 29-year-old Norwegian was stabbed in the back by a gang of immigrant youths at Diskotek Barfly on L�vstr�de, after bickering with the youths on the street outside. "And these aren't the only cases - they're just the stories that make the headlines. Violent crimes are on the rise throughout Copenhagen, and even though the most serious assault cases are at a more or less steady level, the assaults themselves are becoming more violent. This is primarily because immigrant youth are much quicker to pull a knife, so the consequences are far more serious. The reaction pattern in banal confrontations is more violent than we've been accustomed to. You can't expect to talk yourself out of a situation any more. Horrific things can happen - and last weekend's incident is a classic example. I would advise people not to play the hero in street altercations - watch yourself," said Larsen. Last year's murder of Antonio Curr� led to a change in city laws, which now prohibit individuals from carrying concealed pocketknives and switchblades. Police have been granted broader powers to search people for weapons without concrete suspicion, if they believe the probability is high that illegal knives are being used within a limited geographical area. Copenhagen Police have reported a general rise in violent crimes, from 453 cases during the first seven months of 2003 to 553 this year. ------------- Dan berikut adalah salah satu usul yang sedang dibicarakan di dalam menanggulangi problema yang mereka hadapi. -------------------- http://www.cphpost.dk/get/81682.html Plan to place immigrant kids in foster care The Copenhagen post 15.09.2004 Print article (IE & NS 4+) The Liberal Party's integration spokeswoman will sponsor a bill making it easier for welfare officials to forcibly remove immigrant children whose parents forbid them from integration into Danish society Liberal Party integration spokeswoman Irene Simonsen has proposed removing children from immigrant families, if parents refuse to let them integrate into Danish society. Simonsen has proposed placing these children with foster families capable of instilling democratic values in them. "Forcibly removing children from their parents' homes is a drastic step, but we need to focus on the children's best interests. Their interests are not being served by raising them to be hostile to Danish society. If they're held back from integration and subjected to psychological pressures, it could force them on to a path of delinquency, crime and perhaps even eventual recruitment by extremist groups. The system must step in and remove these children, so they can be raised in foster care according to democratic norms," said Simonsen, who has not yet presented her proposal to the Liberal Party's parliamentary group. According to Simonsen, today's child welfare system only intervenes in cases involving actual neglect. "But there's a hard core of families out there that make no secret of their hatred for Denmark. They're beyond the reach of education, even though a number of approaches - from incentives to penalties - have been tried. Their children may not be victims of abuse in the classic sense, but they're not being raised to be part of society. It's time to get tougher with these families and consider forcibly removing their children," Simonsen told daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten. Each year, some 14,000 Danish children are placed into foster care. In 90 percent of these cases, the decision to remove children from their parents' homes is voluntary, and conducted in cooperation between welfare authorities and parents. The National Association of Local Authorities (KL) reports that relatively fewer children of immigrant background are placed in foster care, compared to Danish children. "This is due, among other factors, to cultural differences, as immigrant parents have a tougher time accepting that they're not up to the task (of raising their children). In some councils, meanwhile, it's impossible to find enough qualified foster families," said Henrik Skovdal, a child welfare consultant with KL. Skovdal cautioned against believing that more involuntary child removals would result in better integration for immigrant children. "There is no statistical basis to indicate that it is in any way helpful," said Skovdal. The right-wing Danish People's Party has come out in support of Irene Simonsen's proposal. Deputy party leader Peter Skaarup says welfare officials have been too hesitant to take action against immigrant families. "It is neglectful to send one's child to a Koran school in Pakistan that uses strict indoctrination," said Skaarup. The Social Democrats support removing more immigrant children from troubled homes, but would prefer to see action taken in cooperation with parents, and has urged welfare officials to recruit more foster families. --- On Fri 09/17, Leni Harahap < [EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: From: Leni Harahap [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2004 12:37:33 +0700 Subject: [ppiindia] Denmark Tetapkan Al-Qur'an sebagai Pelajaran Wajib di Sekolah _______________________________________________ No banners.
