The Myth of \u201cClan Crime\u201c<\/strong> The article provides an introduction to the current main topic \u201cclan crime\u201c. The discourse on \u201cclan crime\u201c leads to racist control practices and the weakening of constitutional principles. It serves to project crime onto the supposedly \u201cforeign\u201d and is politically exploited.<\/p>\n The Administrative Approach<\/strong> The article sheds light on the administrative approach taken by the authorities against so-called clans. The approach, which has also been used against alleged biker crime, poses numerous legal problems. It does so, in particular, because it casts entire population groups in a criminal light and thus stigmatizes them. The results of the raids cannot be reconciled with the discourse of serious criminal activities.<\/p>\n General Suspicion<\/strong> The discourse about and the police practice of prosecuting so-called clan crime not only discriminate against and stigmatize \u201cArab families\u201d, but also affect Sinti and Roma. This article first gives a historical outline of antiziganist traditions in the German police force. Subsequently, con\u00adnecting lines between the so-called \u201cclan crime\u201d and antiziganist police practice are drawn using examples.<\/p>\n \u201cClan Crime\u201d: From Everyday Crime to Enemies of the State<\/strong> So called clan crime (\u201cClankriminalit\u00e4t\u201d) \u2013 an ethnicized construct refer\u00adring to alleged organized crime families of Arab migrant back\u00adgrounds in Germany \u2013 has been of increasing significance in the public debate on crime and society. Defense attorney Ulrich von Klinggr\u00e4ff talks about its implications in the criminal justice system.<\/p>\n Police Reports on \u201cClan Crime \u201c \u2013 Ambiguous Definitions, Evident Racisms<\/strong> For some years now, police reports on so-called „clan crime“ have been presented with great fanfare. Figures published in these reports domi\u00adnate the headlines, not only in the tabloids. Yet little attention is paid to how these figures are obtained and which additional information is in\u00adcluded in the reports. This would be crucial since the central claims of police reports on „clan crime“ differ significantly from those of a media discourse that is nonetheless sustained by police figures, and figures rely centrally on ethnic categorizations.<\/p>\n Racist Raids \u2013 How Zero Tolerance in Neuk\u00f6lln Promotes Displacement<\/strong> The inflammatory term of \u201cclan crime\u201d launched by right-wing politi\u00adcians fuels a racist debate that legitimizes brutal and harassing raids by police and other authorities. This has far-reaching consequences for the people and places involved. This report from Neuk\u00f6lln shows how Ber\u00adlin\u2019s new version of New York\u2019s authoritarian zero tolerance policing generates stigmatization, constant repression, and displacement from (post)\u00admigrant spaces, which local anti-racist and urban activists as well as tradespeople are contesting.<\/p>\n Clan Crime and Migration Law<\/strong> The history of clan crime is essentially a history of West German immi\u00adgration law. The focus of this article is on the so-called Duldung (\u201ctole\u00adration\u201d of residency) and the work permit for non-german workers. The related hypothesis is: The administration contributes to the emergence of \u201cclan crime\u201d by setting its own norms and exercising its own dis\u00adcre\u00adtion in the field of migration law.<\/p>\n The Transnational Deportation Regime<\/strong> European migration control isn\u2019t only exercised at the European external borders but reaches far beyond geographical Europe. Using Morocco and Algeria as examples, the article sheds light on the deportation practices of third countries and their cooperation with the EU.<\/p>\n Seemingly Banal \u2013 Everyday Police Communication on Twitter<\/strong> German police authorities have been increasingly present on social me\u00addia platforms such as Twitter. In addition to factual information, the po\u00adlice also tweet everyday anecdotes. The article analyzes how police com\u00admu\u00adnicate a platform-specific \u201cnormality\u201d of everyday police life. This creates a new mediatized image of the police and relationship to society.<\/p>\n Value and Human Rights Training for Police Officers?<\/strong> Right-wing extremist ideas within the police force as well as police chat groups in which anti-human or racist slogans, codes and symbols are disseminated have forced political leaders to take action. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the Ministry of the Interior made recommendations how to prevent such attitudes and behavior within the police. Based on a critical appraisal of the recommendations, the article makes suggestions for changes in police training.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thematic Focus: The Myth of \u201cClan Crime\u201d The Myth of \u201cClan Crime\u201c by Tom Jennissen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[133,149],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cilip-129","category-summaries"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-dev.daten.cool\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-dev.daten.cool\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-dev.daten.cool\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp-dev.daten.cool\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp-dev.daten.cool\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wp-dev.daten.cool\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20221\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp-dev.daten.cool\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp-dev.daten.cool\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp-dev.daten.cool\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
