Career

Heinz Steinert studied philosophy , psychology and literary studies in Vienna . In 1967 he received his doctorate with a psychological thesis on experimental studies on theories of short-term memory . He also began training at the Vienna Psychoanalytic Association and completed his habilitation in 1972 in the sociology department in Graz with a thesis on the strategies of social action .

Steinert was one of the main exponents of critical criminology and at the same time one of its most prominent critics. Together with Helga Cremer-Schäfer , he criticized the open (Great Britain) or creeping (Germany) abandonment of central positions in punishment and repression . He remained a staunch abolitionist to the end and criticized prison sentences as counterproductive.

Steinert was a co-founder and long-standing scientific director of the Institute for Law and Criminal Sociology in Vienna . At the same time, he held a professorship for sociology with a focus on “ deviance ” and “ social exclusion ” at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt. In 2007 Heinz Steinert retired and since then has worked a. a. with publications for links-netz.de.

Heinz Steinert died on March 20, 2011 of complications from cancer. He was buried in the cemetery of the Simmering fire hall (Department 2, Ring 3, Group 9, number 131).
