Thank you for another interesting and unusual piece! I'll restack: people should know more about this period in history. There are surely lessons we can all take from it. If I remember rightly, the bizarre turn that crime took during the Weimar period came with the appearance of Lustmord. If certain criminologists are right that the appearance of a new crime indicates big events happening beneath society's surface, perhaps we can see Lustmord as the canary in the German coalmine.
Interesting points, most of my focus was on criminology during the Cold War and more specifically in the discourse about crimes in East/West Berlin. I do recall some very interesting discussion regarding blame and some commentary on victims/bystanders being somewhat responsible for crimes committed. We have three more articles regarding youth crime in Germany coming over the next few weeks.
The connection between crime and being events is interesting. I think that it can take some time to notice big shift until they are sufficiently big.
