Das sogenannte Böse

Crime is omnipresent in our society. Every day we are confronted with fictional portrayals of crime and reports of real instances of crime, especially the violent type, in the media. However, crime is also being increasingly perceived as a significant problem in politics. This public debate, which is influenced by current moods and superficial observations, needs to be addressed with a more fundamental examination of crime. This book endeavours to present both content-related aspects and the views and ideas of disciplines and sub-disciplines that are important for this subject. It is based on the series of lectures of the same name, which took place at the University of Göttingen in the summer semester of 2019.
