Established by the state criminal police in Saxony, Soko Rex (Special Commission on Right-wing Extremism) takes a two-track prevention/repression approach that combines deterrence policies designed to limit the appeal of extreme right-wing discourses with the prosecution of acts of criminality and violence perpetrated on behalf of far-right ideologies., The preventative work provided by Soko Rex ranges from public outreach initiatives through the local media, to awareness-raising seminars and workshops, notably for young people. It also engages directly with right-wing constituencies to inform them of the potential consequences associated with far-right militant activism and violence.
