What’s the pandemic’s impact on youth criminality?

Youth criminality took a new dimension since the beginning of this year. There have been more cases with serious consequences nationwide. In particular, these terrible cases led to nationwide discussions and a very high media coverage. In this context, our MPs André Bauler and Claude Lamberty asked the responsible minister, among other things, if juvenile delinquency had changed with the pandemic.

« La délinquance juvénile a pris depuis le début de l’année une nouvelle dimension au vu des faits récents qui ont eu lieu à travers le pays. Ces derniers mois, un certain nombre de cas très malencontreux de délinquance juvénile ont d’ailleurs été fortement médiatisé et discutés.

Voilà pourquoi nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre de la Sécurité intérieure :

  • Monsieur le Ministre peut-il dresser l’évolution récente du nombre de délits, voire de crimes en relation directe avec la délinquance juvénile ? De quel genre de délits ou de crimes s’agit-il ?
  • La qualité de la délinquance juvénile a-t-elle changé de manière tangible durant la pandémie ? 
  • Dans quelle mesure les réseaux sociaux contribuent-ils à renforcer le phénomène de la délinquance juvénile ? 
  • Quels programmes de prévention ont été récemment organisés en la matière ? Ces programmes seront-ils adaptés dans un futur proche afin de tenir compte des réalités nouvelles ?
  • De quelle manière les victimes de ces délits et crimes sont-elles prises en charge du point de vue psychologique ? »

Second classroom support staff and A-EBS in cycle 1 of primary education

To ensure more effective pedagogical differentiation from the start of schooling, the coalition agreement foresees the gradual introduction of a second classroom support worker in cycle 1. This second staff member could also play a key role in the rollout of Project Alpha, especially in preparing children for literacy in German or French. Furthermore, assistants for pupils with special educational needs (A-EBS) are set to ease the workload of specialised teachers. Our MPs Gilles Baum and Barbara Agostino have submitted a parliamentary question to the Minister to clarify the implementation timeline and progress of these initiatives.

As part of the LNS study ‘LëtzHBM’, biological and environmental samples are collected to determine the presence of chemical substances in private households. The results of the biological samples, unlike the environmental samples, are not systematically communicated to the participants.
DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health why these results are not communicated and whether this is compatible with data protection regulations.
