Contributions from the 4th and the 5th Annual International Forum 2010 and 2011 Within the German Congress on Crime Prevention
The German Congress on Crime Prevention (GCOCP) is an annual event that takes place since 1995 in different German cities and targets all areas of crime prevention. Since its foundation the GCOCP has been open to an international audience with a growing number of non-German speaking participants joining. To give the international guests their own discussion forum, the Annual International Forum (AIF) within the GCOCP was established in 2007. For international guests this event offers lectures in English language as well as other activities within the GCOCP that are translated simultaneously. This book reflects the outcomes of the 4th AIF (10. and 11. of May 2010 in Berlin) and 5th AIF (30. and 31. of May 2011 in Oldenburg). The articles reflect worldwide views on crime prevention and criminal policy as well as the current status, discussion, research and projects in crime prevention from different countries. Also both the Berlin and Oldenburg Declarations are included, reports about the key findings of both congresses.
Gewalt an Schulen
Immer wieder kommt die Rede auf Fälle schwerer Gewalt von Schülern, wobei in jüngerer Zeit gerade Beispiele von Gewalt gegen Lehrer die Runde machen. Wie sieht aber abseits dieser brutalen Einzelfälle die Gewaltlage an Schulen aus und vor allem: Wie hat sie sich über einen längeren Zeitraum entwickelt? Nach den Wellen von 1994 und 1999 wurde 2004 zum dritten Mal mit einer repräsentativen Befragung von 4.523 Schülern die Gewaltsituation an allgemein- und berufsbildenden Schulen erhoben. Die Studie kann damit als eine der wenigen verlässliche Angaben zur Gewaltentwicklung über einen 10-Jahres-Zeitraum machen.
International Handbook of Violence Research
An international manual is like a world cruise: a once-in-a-lifetime experience. All the more reason to consider carefully whether it is necessary. This can hardly be the case if previous research in the selected field has already been the subject of an earlier review-or even several competing surveys. On the other hand, more thorough study is necessary if the intensity and scope of research are increasing without comprehensive assessments. That was the situation in Western societies when work began on this project in the summer of 1998. It was then, too, that the challenges emerged: any manual, espe cially an international one, is a very special type of text, which is anything but routine. ...
Dresden
The collapse of the German Democratic Republic prompted the East Germans to confront their personal, cultural and international past. This study of the 'Wende' - the turn of events in 1989 - is based on ethnographic and anthropological research conducted in the early 1990s. Liz Ten Dyke has developed a finely nuanced portrait of the city and its residents as they were caught up in the economic, political and social turmoil that characterized the immediate post-socialist period. By weaving together scholarly research, oral history, and "ethnographic excursions" or narratives of salient experiences, this book makes an important contribution to the study of social aspects of the past. Moving beyond paradigms presently shaping the study of memory, it details the paradoxes and contradictions inherent in remembering, making manifest the link between such contradictions and larger symbolic and political-economic contexts. In this way, the author situates the study of memory in history and shows that it is the mutability of memory, in conjuction with the uncertainty of history, that render the past a dynamic and powerful force in human society.
The Rise and Fall of the German Democratic Republic
Most public debate on reunited Germany has emphasized economic issues such as the collapse of East German industry, mass unemployment, career difficulties, and differences in wages and living standards. The overwhelming difficulty resulting from reunification, however, is not persisting economic differences but the internal cultural divide between East and West Germans, one based upon different moral values in the two Germanies. The invisible wall that has replaced the previous, highly visible territorial division of the German nation is rooted in issues of the past-the Nazi past as well as the German Democratic Republic past. In emphasizing economic differences, the media and academics have...
Sex, Thugs and Rock 'n' Roll
Living on the frontline of the Cold War, young people in East Germany were subject to a number of competing influences: the culture of their parents, the new official culture taught in schools, and new youth cultures. Fenemore presents an account of what it was like in the 1950s and 1960s.
Internationales Handbuch der Gewaltforschung
Die Forschung zur Gewalt in modernen westlichen Gesellschaften hat in den letzten Jahren zugenommen. Die Erklärungen dafür sind zahlreich: tatsächlicher Anstieg bei bestimmten Gewaltvarianten, neue Sensibilitäten, Rückkehr alter Gewaltformen, Verlagerung von Gewalt in andere gesellschaftliche Bereiche etc. Bisher fehlt jedoch ein systematischer Überblick über die tatsächlichen Entwicklungen. Das vorliegende Handbuch informiert umfassend über Gewalt als soziales Phänomen. Dabei wird fast allen Facetten dieses Themas Rechnung getragen: · Sozialstrukturelle Verhältnisse und Gewalt, · Sozialisation und Lernen von Gewalt, · Gewalterfahrungen und Gewalttätigkeit, · Gewaltopfer, · Gewalt in gesellschaftlichen Institutionen, · Gewalt durch politische Gruppen, · Gewaltdiskurse etc. In 62 Artikeln von Autorinnen und Autoren aus zehn Ländern liefert der Band ein komplexes, transdisziplinäres Bild eines Forschungsfeldes zwischen Ordnung, Zerstörung und Macht.
Rechtsextremismus in Schule, Unterricht und Lehrkräftebildung
Schule kommt eine Schlüsselfunktion in der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Rechtsextremismus zu. In ihrem bildungspolitischen Auftrag kann Schule nicht neutral sein. Sie hat die Aufgabe, pluralistische, demokratische und menschenrechtsorientierte Haltungen und Werte zu vermitteln. Dieser Band gibt einen Überblick über das Thema Rechtsextremismus und Schule sowie Verweise auf praktische Handlungsperspektiven. Neben einer Bestandsaufnahme schulischer Ansätze zur Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema Rechtsextremismus wird auch die Lehrkräftebildung in den Blick genommen.
The Impact of Radical Right-Wing Parties in West European Democracies
This book contends that far-right parties play pivotal roles in setting the tone of political debates, shaping the political party system, and structuring government policy. Increasingly, as national governments attempt to cope with new realities of greater global migration, strained welfare states, and threats of foreign terror, opportunities have opened for parties of the far right to position themselves strategically.
