Intense offender

When offenders are mainly in Germany people referred, the more times by crimes stand out and disorderly actions. Similar terms are repeat offenders and serial offenders . Many offenders are male adolescents.

Offenders must be distinguished from emerging perpetrators of opportunity offenders and one-time offenders. They often commit the same crime several times, such as robbery , assault , extortion or drug trafficking .

According to a study by the Bavarian LKA , around 10 percent of 14 to 25 year old offenders were intensive offenders; they committed about 50 percent of the known crimes in this age group. A disproportionate number of these offenders would have to deprived areas perpetrated, especially among young people, crime.

When Berlin Criminal Police Agency a Intensivtäter department was set up after the trade journal in 2002 Forensics had appeared one written by a senior official of the State Office of Criminal Investigation (LKA) article about Nidal R.. The LKA official wanted to draw attention to the in his eyes too lax dealings with the repeat offender, who at the time as a 20-year-old already had over 80 entries in his files and had received exemption from custody or parole in 52 of 60 cases in court . After the violent death of Nidal R. on September 9, 2018, the police union and the Bund Deutscher Kriminalbeamter demanded a nationwide file of serious offenders.

In November 2018, the President of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), Holger Münch , proposed to the Conference of Interior Ministers a concept for a nationwide point system for delinquent immigrants , with deportation if a point limit is reached. On the occasion of a discussion of this concept among interior ministers from the federal and state governments, it was proposed that German intensive offenders should also be recorded using a point system in future in order to initiate countermeasures in good time.
