In the lean and anxious years following World War II, Munich
society became obsessed with the moral condition of its youth.
Initially born of the economic and social disruption of the war
years, a preoccupation with juvenile delinquency progressed into a
full-blown panic over the hypothetical threat that young men and
women posed to postwar stability. 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.
