Developments in Crime and Crime Control Research
Developments in Crime and Crime Control Research: German Studies on Victims, Offenders, and the Public is an academic book authored by Karl F. Schumann and Reiner Kaulitzki, and edited by Klaus Sessar and Hans-Jürgen Kerner.
The book is a comprehensive collection of studies focused on crime and crime control in Germany, providing valuable insights into the experiences of victims, the behaviors of offenders, and the perceptions of the public towards crime and criminal justice. It presents a range of empirical research findings and theoretical discussions, reflecting the state of criminological research in Germany during the late 20th century.
The editors, Klaus Sessar and Hans-Jürgen Kerner, are well-regarded criminologists who have contributed extensively to the field. The book's multidisciplinary approach draws on sociology, psychology, and legal studies to explore the complex dynamics of crime and crime control.
Michael Baurmann, a notable German criminologist and sociologist, is referenced in the book for his influential research on sexual offenses and the societal impacts of such crimes. Baurmann's work, particularly his controversial findings on the psychological consequences of sexual abuse, has been a significant part of the discourse in German criminology and is discussed in relation to the broader themes of the book.
