Description
(Short description)
Die Strafjustiz des Kaiserreichs gilt bislang als Ort der Skandalprozesse und Klassenjustiz einerseits oder als Beginn der modernen Rechtsprechung andererseits. Doch Alexandra Ortmann zeigt, dass die Bevölkerung trotz einer strukturellen Machtasymmetrie in der gerichtlichen Auseinandersetzung faktisch gut informiert war und machtvoll agierte. Es gelang ihr, sich von ihrer Rolle als Untertanen zu mündigen Staatsbürgern zu entwickeln. Die Studie zeichnet den Justizalltag nach und berücksichtigt erstmals die Perspektiven aller Beteiligten: die der 'Laien', Juristen, Medien, Kirchen und Vereine. Die Studie analysiert den Alltag und die Machtauseinandersetzungen in der deutschen Strafjustiz von 1879-1924.

Criminal justice during the German Empire was previously considered mostly the scene of scandal trials and class-based justice - or as the beginning of modern jurisprudence. In this volume, however, Alexandra Ortmann shows that, despite the structurally conditioned asymmetry in the justice system, citizens were generally well informed about judicial matters and acted with force. They were in fact able to escape their role as mere subservients and become responsible subjects. This study describes the world of everyday criminal justice and traces for the first time the perspectives all persons involved: the laypersons, lawyers, media, churches and clubs.
