| Zusammenfassung: | Beginning in the twenties, systematic research on crime prevention was started in some German prisons, focussing on the study of recidivists generally and on special groups of offenders as for instance pimps and sex offenders. The prisons of Bavaria and Hamburg were model institutions. With the seizure of power by the nazis, a nationwide research-project was started and voluntary and involuntary sterilization and castration were introduced in the penal code and other laws. The paper will report on an ongoing evaluation of some 1100 files from the "Kriminalbiologische Sammelstelle Hamburg" (Criminal Biological Research Unit), which recently were found in a prison in Hamburg, and which cover the time from 1934 until 1945. After the war, involuntary castration was banned, but the results of follow-up studies, performed during nazi-times, later served as arguments to introduce the law on voluntary castration of sex offenders of 1969. The re-evaluation of the files will help to discuss shortcomings of the former research and the conclusions drawn from it. |
