Die Sicherungsverwahrung im Nationalsozialismus und ihre Fortentwicklung bis heute

The analysis of historical injustices in the application of preventive custody during the period of National Socialism allows for the deduction of requirements pertaining to current developments in the field. Through the perspective of legal history, as well as the examination of case studies, I aim to pinpoint the various problems that are immanent to the laws surrounding preventive custody to this day. Case studies from the early years of its application (1935 – 1943) reveal the extent to which the practice interfered with the lives of individuals and successively eroded constitutional standards. By illustrating the consequences of implementing radical preventive measures, I intend to challenge continuing developments in the field of preventive custody and to offer up a number of demands pertaining to the status quo.
