Racial Profiling (German)

Bernd Belina & Svenja Keitzel

Like no other field of science critical criminology is predestined to analyze and criticize racial profiling. This paper identifies three blank spots in science that should be tackled by critical criminology: To empirically detect racial profiling; to make use us social theory to show changes in systematic criminalization; to achieve this with and from the perspective of the affected.

Das Schweigen der Kritischen Kriminologie (German)

The silence of critical criminology

Daniela Klimke & Rüdiger Lautmann

Since the 1990s three different trends ramp up the German debate about sexual violence: the prevalence of distinctive risk discourses, the everlasting entertainment factor of scandalizations, and a growing social orientation towards the victims of crime or (perceived) deviant actions. More and more sexual behaviors are identified as problematic and vocally discussed in the public and in tabloids as well as in the so called ‘quality media’. Therefore, politicians and law-makers constantly tighten the regulations and laws concerning sexual offences. A development to which Critical Criminology has remained irritatingly silent. The paper tries to identify the reasons of this critical silence.

Die Hamburger Linie. Der G20-Gipfel in Hamburg aus rechtsstaatlicher Perspektive - ein Kommentar (German)

The "Hamburger Linie". The 2017 Hamburg G20 summit and the rule of law - a comment.

Moritz Assall

This paper comments the events during the 2017 G20 summit in Hamburg out of a legal policy perspective. It focusses on the juridical and practical conflicts around the planned protest camps as well as on the political and juridical role of the police during this conflict. The rule of law with its precarious concept of check and balances proved to be surprisingly weak and dependent on a missing political consensus

Conflicting targets, loss of control, increasing autonomy. Comments on the policing of the 2017 G20 Hamburg summit

Von 1984 zu G20 in Hamburg? Eskalationsdynamiken und das Polizieren von Protest - Ein Gespräch mit Fritz Sack (German)

From 1984 to G20 in Hamburg? Dynamics of escalation and the policing of protest - An Interview with Fritz Sack

Fritz Sack & Dirk Lampe

In 1984 Fritz Sack and Heinz Steinert published their groundbreaking work ‘Protest und Reaktion’. Untill today it remains one of the most important analyzes of protest, resistance and demonstrations in German critical criminology. On the occasion of the 50th volume of the Kriminologisches Journal Dirk Lampe met with Fritz Sack for a discussion about violent protests, escalating police operations, and the socio-political background of the events during the 2017 G20 summit in Hamburg.
