Constructing White-Collar Crime
Criminal law norms are socially derived, being constructed in political processes, but only recently has criminological research began to focus on the political construction of criminal law. There has been increasing interest in the quality of these political processes, the decisions that result, and the rationales and social forces guiding these decisions. In Constructing White-Collar Crime, Joachim J. Savelsberg, a sociologist, and Peter Brühl, a lawyer, have provided an interdisciplinary case study of the construction of new German laws against white-collar crime, relating their results to internationally comparative findings. The analysis is empirical; it is theoretically grounded in a ...
The Cop and the Sociologist
Drawing on the sociology of Max Weber, Barbara Thériault investigates today's relations toward difference within German police forces. Accompanying and interviewing police officers whose job it is to contribute to the acknowledgement of difference, the sociologist outlines three ideal types of actors - an empathetic, a principled, and an opportunist one - and the motives underlying their actions. A fourth type, the specialist, is conspicuously absent. Why is that so? Solving this enigma helps depicting the relations to difference within police forces: it points to a specific »spirit« of diversity and a singular way to apprehend the individual in Germany.

Korruption
Bürger und Kunden verzweifeln an Integrität von Politikern und Vorständen, an der Vergabe von öffentlichen Aufträgen, an Empfehlungen von Banken usw. Ob in Verwaltung oder Unternehmen: Korruption ist eine prominente, medial inszenierte Vokabel, die überall betretenes Schweigen auslöst. Ein Grundelement der Korruption selbst, denn sie basiert auf der Inkommunikabilität. Wo betretenes Schweigen herrscht, muss die Wissenschaft forschend eintreten. Die Beiträge in diesem Band dienen der multidisziplinären Analyse von Motiven und Mechanismen, von Funktionen und Folgen der Korruption. Politische, ökonomische und soziologische Aspekte stehen dabei im Vordergrund. Die ausgeführten systematischen Paradoxien der Korruption fordern komplexe Beschreibungen und ermöglichen erst so komplexere Antworten im Hinblick auf etwaige Präventionschancen. Dabei - so die These- leistet die moralisch-mediale Diskussion für die wissenschaftliche Analyse gerade keine Erhellung der dunklen, unaufgeklärten Seite des Kapitalismus.
