Landeskriminalamt-Leiter Wolfgang Lackner beantwortete im Politik Café die Frage, ob uns die Krise krimineller macht.

Der Lockdown und der damit verbundene Rückzug in die eigenen vier Wände, das temporäre Schließen der Grenzen und die Einschränkung von Mobilität und Reisefreiheit, verstärkte Polizei-Präsenz und Kontrollen. Welche Auswirkungen diese Maßnahmen während der Corona-Krise auf die Kriminalität in der Steiermark hatte, und wieso er Schußwaffen in den heimischen vier Wänden für deplatziert hält, darüber sprach Generalmajor Wolfgang Lackner in der aktuellen Ausgabe des Politik Cafés. Die Jubiläumsausgabe des Formats anlässlich des zehnjährigen Bestehens, die wieder aus der Aula der Universität Graz übertragen wurde, zum Nachsehen finden Sie hier.

How are tech companies changing democracy? Uni Graz designs exhibition for schools

Filtered information, conspiracy theories, fake news – certain groups and corporations are using social media and algorithms to try to influence public opinion in their favour. Their goal: to weaken fundamental rights and diversity of opinion and seize power. In a new exhibition, researchers at the University of Graz are working with pupils to explore the impact of social media and AI on democracy. In accompanying workshops, the scientists want to encourage young people to develop their own ideas for a socially and ecologically viable future and to actively help shape it. The exhibition, designed as a travelling exhibition for schools, will open on 9 March 2026 at the Dreihackengasse Gymnasium in Graz.
