Sabine Rückert also became known through her non-fiction book Dead Have No Lobby , published in 2000 , in which she investigates the numerous homicides that are not recognized as such in Germany because the inquest is neglected.

Based on her long-term research into a massive miscarriage of justice following false allegations of rape, according to various articles by Rückert in the time about this case, her book Unrecht im Namen des Volkes - Ein Judizirrtum und seine Konsequences appeared in January 2007 . She had previously initiated the retrial in this case, for which she was able to win over the Hamburg criminal defense attorney Johann Schwenn . The two men concerned were acquitted in 2005 and 2006 for proven innocence. In 2011, Rückert caused a sensation with articles about the Jörg Kachelmann case , but was also criticized for the lack of journalistic distance during the Kachelmann trial . She justified her use during the trial in an essay in the criminal defense journal that it was ethical for a journalist to take a position if he saw that something was fundamentally wrong. Just watching Jörg Kachelmann wriggle out of the unjustified proceedings would have been “just cowardly”.

Since April 2018 she and Andreas Sentker have published the podcast Die Zeit - Verbrechen , in which every two weeks the development and investigation of a crime is explained.

With her reports and portraits, Sabine Rückert has won several journalism prizes , including the Theodor Wolff Prize and a Joseph Roth Prize .
