The Politics of Personal Information
In the 1970s and 1980s West Germany was a pioneer in both the use of the new information technologies for population surveillance and the adoption of privacy protection legislation. During this era of cultural change and political polarization, the expansion, bureaucratization, and computerization of population surveillance disrupted the norms that had governed the exchange and use of personal information in earlier decades and gave rise to a set of distinctly postindustrial social conflicts centered on the use of personal information as a means of social governance in the welfare state. Combining vast archival research with a groundbreaking theoretical analysis, this book gives a definitive account of the politics of personal information in West Germany at the dawn of the information society.
Comparative Criminal Justice

"Stosstruppfakultät Breslau"
English summary: In January 1935, the Faculty of Law at the University of Breslau was declared a political shock troop faculty. In this work, Thomas Ditt presents the first study of the development of this Faculty of Law during the Nazi era, and in doing so focuses on the strained relationship between politics and academia.

Auftrag: Menschenraub
Auf offener Straße brutal überfallen, in vertrauter Umgebung betäubt und entführt oder durch perfide Täuschungen auf DDR-Gebiet gelockt und rechtswidrig festgehalten. Etwa 400 Menschen teilen ein Schicksal: Sie wurden in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren aus der Bundesrepublik und vor allem aus West-Berlin in die DDR verschleppt und dort inhaftiert. Viele kehrten erst nach Wochen, Monaten oder gar Jahren aus der DDR-Haft zurück. Manche verschwanden für immer. Verantwortlich für die Entführungsaktionen war in erster Linie das Ministerium für Staatssicherheit (MfS), das anfangs unter Anleitung des sowjetischen Geheimdienstes agierte.Es ist ein unbekanntes Kapitel der deutschen Teilungsgeschichte. Auf Grundlage zahlreicher MfS-Akten und bundesdeutscher Unterlagen analysiert die Studie die Mechanismen und Funktion der Entführungspraxis des MfS. In Anlehnung an die Gewalt- und Täterforschung begibt sie sich auf die Spuren der Entführungsopfer und Entführer. Ausgezeichnet mit dem Opus Primum 2015!
Dark Matter of the Mind
Is it in our nature to be altruistic, or evil, to make art, use tools, or create language? Is it in our nature to think in any particular way? For Daniel L. Everett, the answer is a resounding no: it isn’t in our nature to do any of these things because human nature does not exist—at least not as we usually think of it. Flying in the face of major trends in Evolutionary Psychology and related fields, he offers a provocative and compelling argument in this book that the only thing humans are hardwired for is freedom: freedom from evolutionary instinct and freedom to adapt to a variety of environmental and cultural contexts. Everett sketches a blank-slate picture of human cognition that fo...
