| Summary: | Augmenting his groundbreaking work on the German Criminal Police (Kriminalpolizei—Kripo) detective force,1 Patrick Wagner studies the detectives themselves in this volume: their frustrations with the constitutional limitations of the Weimar Republic, their satisfaction in reducing crime during the first years of Nazi rule, their application of Nazi racial principles to preventative policing—and their postwar success in distancing themselves and their agency from Nazi crimes. Wagner also focuses attention on perhaps the most “forgotten” victims of the Nazi regime: “asocials” and “habitual criminals. |
