| Summary: | In the lean and anxious years following World War II, Munich society became obsessed with the moral condition of its youth.

As Martin Kalb shows in this fascinating study, constructs like the rowdy young boy and the sexually deviant girl served as proxies for the diffuse fears of adult society, while allowing authorities ranging from local institutions to the U.S. military government to strengthen forms of social control. |
