News

Dr. Jens Struck in podcasts on the topic of

"Clan Crime"

In two recent podcasts, Dr. Jens Struck critically discusses the term and the which security authorities deal with so-called clan crime. 

In the "Umdenken" podcast from the University of Münster, he explains why the term creates a biased perception and raises general suspicion of entire (extended) families.

In the WDR podcast "18 Millionen" he critically discusses the NRW authorities´so-called "policy of 1000 pinpricks".

 

SAFE - Scientific workshop

On 06.05.2025, a scientific workshop will take place at the Chair of Criminology as part of the research project "SAFE". The research project deals with the use of firearms by the police from a criminological perspective and considers both escalation dynamics and the legal framework. Scientists and practitioners who deal with police firearm use in their research or professional context are invited to the workshop. The networking of science and practice contributes to a multi-perspective view. The core concern is the exchange of expertise in order to jointly discuss the state of knowledge and approaches to prevention.

 

Project - DeWePol

The first core findings from survey wave 1 of the project Democracy-Related Attitudes and Values in the Hamburg Police (DeWePol) (research team Prof. Dr. Julia Clasen, Prof. Dr. Eva Groß, Prof. Dr. Joachim Häfele, Dr. Ilka Kammigan, Prof. Dr. Stefanie Kemme, Amelie Nickel (M. A.), Dr. Anabel Taefi, Prof. Dr. Ulrike Zähringer) are available here.
