Clankriminalität
Das Phänomen Clankriminalität besitzt nach wie vor großes Forschungspotential für unterschiedliche Fachdisziplinen. Weitere Analysen hinsichtlich Kriminalität, Kriminalitätsstrategien, Hintergründe und Auswirkungen, sowie die Evaluation längst nicht nur kriminalistischer, sondern auch präventiver Maßnahmen sind zwingend geboten und notwendig. Darauf aufbauend können kriminalpolitische Diskurse versachlicht und weniger meinungsbasiert geführt werden. Neben intensiver Überarbeitung und Aktualisierung des Buches wurden in der Neuauflage u.a. mit Ergebnissen einer Kriminalaktenauswertung und Opferschutz im Kontext Clankriminalität zudem neue Inhalte aufgenommen. Das Handbuch richtet sich an die Angehörigen der Polizei in der Aus- und Fortbildung sowie an alle Behördenangehörige, die in die Bekämpfung der Clankriminalität involviert sind.
Kritische Analysen zur sogenannten "Clankriminalität"
Im gegenwärtigen Diskursfeld „Clankriminalität“ sind das Deutungsschema, die Begrifflichkeit selbst und die Behandlung des Phänomens durch Innenressorts, Strafverfolgungs- und andere Behörden umstritten. Es herrscht eine intensive Auseinandersetzung um Fragen, die sich zwischen Über- und Unterschätzung des Phänomens, zwischen selbst verursachter oder „importierter“ Kriminalität sowie zwischen Null-Toleranz-Reaktionen des Rechtsstaats einerseits und der Diskriminierung ganzer Bevölkerungsgruppen andererseits bewegen. Vereinfacht dargestellt, besteht ein Konflikt zwischen den antagonistischen Ideen „harter“ und das Phänomen negierender Deutungsschemata. Der Sammelband soll einen wissenschaftlich dominierten, differenzierten, bzw. „moderaten“ Weg einschlagen, ohne die o. g. Gegenpole zu ignorieren. Das Ziel ist die fundierte Schließung bisheriger Erkenntnislücken und die Korrektur diskursiv verbreiteter Annahmen. Das Buch adressiert ein interessiertes Fachpublikum aus den Kriminal- und Sozialwissenschaften sowie der mittleren und höheren Führungsebene der Polizei und sozialen Arbeit bzw. der Kriminalprävention.
Historical Turns
Historical Turns reassesses Weimar cinema in light of the "crisis of historicism" widely diagnosed by German philosophers in the early twentieth century. Through bold new analyses of five legendary works of German silent cinema—The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Destiny, Rhythm 21, The Holy Mountain, and Metropolis—Nicholas Baer argues that films of the Weimar Republic lent vivid expression to the crisis of historical thinking. With their experiments in cinematic form and style, these modernist films revealed the capacity of the medium to engage with fundamental questions about the philosophy of history. Reconstructing the debates over historicism that unfolded during the initial decades of moving-image culture, Historical Turns proposes a more reflexive mode of historiography and expands the field of film and media philosophy. The book excavates a rich archive of ideas that illuminate our own moment of rapid media transformation and political, economic, and environmental crises around the globe.
A Dictionary of German-Jewish Surnames
This dictionary identifies more than 13,000 German-Jewish surnames from the area that was pre-World War I Germany. From Baden-Wuerttemburg in the south to Schleswig-Holstein in the north. From Westfalen in the west to East Prussia in the east. In addition to providing the etymology and variants of each name, it identifies where in the region the name appeared, identifying the town and time period. More than 300 sources were used to compile the book. A chapter provides the Jewish population in many towns in the 19th century.
Restless
It is 1939. Eva Delectorskaya is a beautiful 28-year-old Russian émigrée living in Paris. As war breaks out she is recruited for the British Secret Service by Lucas Romer, a mysterious Englishman, and under his tutelage she learns to become the perfect spy, to mask her emotions and trust no one, including those she loves most. Since the war, Eva has carefully rebuilt her life as a typically English wife and mother. But once a spy, always a spy. Now she must complete one final assignment, and this time Eva can't do it alone: she needs her daughter's help.
The Strategic CFO
The role of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) has substantially changed in a world characterized by globalized financial markets and truly global products. The accelerated development of new technologies, products, and markets has led to an increasingly dynamic and uncertain competitive situation. The book demonstrates and discusses the impact of this changing corporate environment on the role and responsibilities of the CFO. A more holistic view that integrates business and financial decisions is required in order to manage these challenges of globalization. The book shows how the CFO can adopt and implement this management approach and thus play a vital role in the firm’s value creation.
Nazi Propaganda Films
Hitler and the Nazis saturated their country with many types of propaganda to convince the German citizenry that the Nazi ideology was the only ideology. One type of propaganda that the Nazis relied on heavily was cinematic. This work focuses on Nazi propaganda feature films and feature-length documentaries made in Germany between 1933 and 1945 and released to the public. Some of them were Staatsauftragsfilme, films produced by order of and financed by the Third Reich. The films are arranged by subject and then alphabetically, and complete cast and production credits are provided for each. Short biographies of actors, directors, producers, and other who were involved in the making of Nazi propaganda films are also provided.
