Focus of our research

The work areas of the ZFKS can be divided into three main topics, which represent the comprehensive research spectrum and enable a clear structuring of the projects. They are interconnected: Research topics can cover one or more areas.

Crime: development & phenomena

Stigmatization & perception

Judicial system

Crime: development & phenomena

We conduct research into all forms of violence that are relevant in a criminological context. These include individual violence, such as violence against partners or physical altercations, but also group-based violence,hate crime and terrorism.

Judicial system

We investigate the practical realities of institutions such as the penal system as well as the implementation of criminal law and resocialization efforts. This also includes the question of the extent to which the administration of justice appears transparent and the general public feels informed about and trusts this system in the modern world.

Stigmatization and perception

We conduct research on the self-perception and external perception of individuals and groups, including the stigmatization and stereotyping of offenders and victims of crime.
