Youth criminality and policing in Dresden

Christina introduces Dresden as a city with problems, just like all big cities. We are then taken to a reconstruction of a typical crime. A youth is walking alone along a street when he is approached by two men. They take him to an isolated place and threaten him. They say they know where he lives and they'll beat him up and come to get him if he doesn't help them. He is forced to steal a jacket from a shop but is caught doing so and the police are called. The police follow him and check his rucksack. He is taken to the police staion where he contemplates his actions. When they check his records at the police station they find that he hasn't got a criminal record and ask him why he stole the jacket. He eventually tells the police everything and the police go to arrest the two men.
