In Winterthur, police officer Oliver Wälchli conducts threat assessments to prevent potential violence, particularly in cases of domestic abuse. During structured dialogues, individuals with a history of violence are warned of their behavior’s consequences, aiming to de-escalate tensions before they lead to further harm. Wälchli’s role as head of violence protection highlights a proactive approach in the community, collaborating with various institutions to enhance safety for victims. Studies show these interventions can significantly reduce stalking incidents, illustrating the effectiveness of this method in managing aggressive behaviors.
