In westlichen Demokratien häufen sich Fälle von rechtem Terrorismus. Die innere Sicherheit und das Leben von gesellschaftlichen Minderheiten und in der Öffentlichkeit stehenden Personen werden durch vielfältige Formen schwerer Gewalttaten und Terrorakte bedroht. Begründungen für solche Akte verweisen auf althergebrachten Rechtsextremismus,  Rassismus, Antisemitismus oder Autoritarismus. Ebenso zeigen sich aber auch neue Erscheinungsformen, die auf Verschwörungstheorien und Ideologieversatzstücken aufbauen. Der Band setzt sich zum Ziel, zur Erforschung des gegenwärtigen Rechtsterrorismus beizutragen. Ausgangspunkt ist die Frage, inwieweit es sich bei aktuellen, nationalen und internationalen Attentaten um „neue“ Formen des Terrorismus handelt. Dabei sollen zum einen die weltanschaulichen, strategischen, kommunikativen, praktischen und operativen Dimensionen des Terrorismus beleuchtet werden. Zum anderen soll auch gefragt werden, ob und auf welche Weise diese Erscheinungen mit trans- und internationalen politischen und gesamtgesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen zusammenhängen. Darüber hinaus stellt sich die Frage, welchen Einfluss ein gesellschaftlicher Rechtsruck mit entsprechenden menschenfeindlichen Einstellungen in der Bevölkerung und abwertender Hassrede im Internet auf dieses Phänomen hat. Insgesamt scheinen die neuen, neu konfigurierten oder modifizierten Formen rechten Terrorismus viel mit einem veränderten Verhältnis zwischen Individuum und Kollektiv, zwischen Einzeltäter und globalem Netzwerk zu tun zu haben.

The German Congress on Crime Prevention (GCOCP) is an annual event that takes place since 1995 in different German cities and targets all areas of crime prevention.

Until recently crime prevention has been considered of little importance in the training of practitioners in related disciplines. In Europe there is a lack of opportunities for basic training and professional development. It can be assumed that the demand for qualified specialists and managers in crime prevention will increase. It was the objective of the Beccaria-Center Professional Training in Crime Prevention to work on closing this gap. With the financial support of the AGIS-programme of the European Commission, the project was implemented by the Council of Crime Prevention of Lower Saxony, Germany with eight European partners. This compilation from the involved countries reflects the current situation of qualification in crime prevention. The contributions show that it is necessary to expand basic training and further professional development opportunities in crime prevention. They clearly demonstrate that the demand for high quality and sustainable crime prevention is higher than ever and there is a clear lack of such training offers in Germany and in Europe more widely.

F r eine gezielte und fundierte Auseinandersetzung mit der Rechtsextremismusforschung bietet dieses Buch sowohl f r den Kenner als auch f r den Einsteiger eine besondere Herangehensweise. Mittels einer mehrperspektivischen Wirklichkeitskonstruktion werden die verschiedenen Perspektiven bzw. Wirklichkeiten des Rechtsextremismus dargestellt, um dadurch den Blick auf die unterschiedlichen Problematiken zu sch rfen, ein tiefer gehendes Verst ndnis zu erm glichen und gleichzeitig einen breiteren Zugang zum Thema Rechtsextremismus bieten zu k nnen. "Die Autoren starten mit einer kritischen Analyse der Polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik und der Verfassungsschutzberichte von 1987 bis 2000. Sie wenden dann den Blick auf Jugendstudien und deren Ergebnisse zu rechtsextremistischen Einstellungen Jugendlicher zwischen 1990 und 1999. Auf dieser Daten(analyse)basis aufbauend widmen sie sich anschlie end der 'theoretischen Wirklichkeit' des Rechtsextremismus, d.h. in exemplarischer Form zwei theoretischen Konzepten (von Helmut Willems einerseits, Wilhelm Heitmeyer andererseits), die in der allgemeinen und Fach ffentlichkeit hervorstechende Bedeutung gewonnen haben. Den Abschluss der Arbeit bildet eine knappe Auseinandersetzung mit der 'p dagogisch-praktischen' Wirklichkeit des Rechtsextremismus im Rahmen der thematisierten allgemeinen P dagogisierung gesellschaftlicher Probleme. Das nun hier vorliegende Buch regt zum Nach- und Weiterdenken an. Es zeugt vom genauen und methodisch sorgf ltigen Vorgehen der Autoren. Es bietet eine F lle von Material, das auch f r diejenigen Leser von hohem Interesse ist, die sich auf die theoretischen Vertiefungen nicht einlassen m gen. Ich w nsche dem Buch weite Verbreitung."
