development
The editions 1.1904 / 05, April (1905) to 27.1936 were published under the title of the monthly magazine for criminal psychology and criminal law reform (until 1935 by Verlag Winter, Heidelberg). The magazine was founded by the physician Gustav Aschaffenburg with the assistance of the lawyers Franz von Liszt , Karl von Lilienthal and the High Court Judge Kloos. It was based on the goals of a reform of criminal law, which should be developed from prevailing retaliation to prevention . The aim of the journal was in particular to establish a non-legal, criminal psychology, in the field of criminal law reform and thus to establish a multidisciplinary orientation in criminology. The journal's prominent editors included the criminologist and criminal lawyer Franz Exner , the psychiatrist and criminal biologist Johannes Lange and the legal scholar and criminologist Rudolf Sieverts .
The issues from 28.1937 to 35.1944.6 were published under the title of the monthly magazine for criminal biology and criminal law reform: Organ der Kriminalbiologische Gesellschaft (1936 to 1944 by Verlag Lehmann , Munich, Berlin). The biologism of the Nazi state replaced criminal psychology with criminal biology , according to which criminals are born based on Cesare Lombroso and only have to be recognized.
After the Second World War, the monthly was published for the first time with issue 36 in October 1953 by Heymanns Verlag, Cologne, which was responsible for it until 2018. The focus is still that of Aschaffenburg, the range has grown, so there are now contributions from law, psychology, psychiatry, sociology, social education and welfare. Since 1953, several people have always been active as editors, initially a lawyer and a doctor each shared the task. The now three-person team has been complemented by a social science perspective since 1974.
The doctors were Hans Gruhle (1953–1958), Hermann Stutte (1958–1981) and Helmut Remschmidt (since 1983). Rudolf Sieverts, Horst Schüler-Springorum and Hans-Jörg Albrecht managed the magazine as lawyers . And Stephan Quensel is a lawyer himself, but brings the social science perspective to the editorial board , since he works as a representative of critical criminology in the social sciences.
Despite its name, the magazine appears six times a year, until 1974 the frequency was even rarer. Almost half of the articles are scientific articles, and a little more than half cover reviews of newly published specialist literature.
In 2018 De Gruyter took over the magazine from Carl Heymanns Verlag .
