Digital Connections, Social Cohesion and Trust—Comparative Evidence From Rural and Urban Communities in Germany
This study investigates the role of digital information and communication technologies (DICT) in the context of social cohesion and trust (SCT) at the community level. The analysis is grounded in the assumption that SCT underpins both social capital and the capacity for collective action in communities. Employing a comparative design, survey data were collected from residents of four villages ( n = 706) and four urban districts ( n = 1031) in Ger…
Radicalizing spaces
This study examines neighbourhood effects and their impact on inhabitants’ susceptibility to radicalization by linking standardized survey data in three German cities to data from government statistics, followed by a multilevel analysis from a total of 145 units. This allows us to control for both local and individual factors with respect to the susceptibility to radicalization. Findings show that an increased level of self-control and income sat…
Vom Glauben zur Radikalisierung
Die Komplexität der Gründe für Radikalisierung und deren Einfluss auf die Neigung zur Rechtsverletzung und Gewaltausübung sind von bedeutender Tragweite für gesellschaftliche Gefüge sowohl in Deutschland, Europa als auch global. Dieser Beitrag analysiert den Einfluss von religiösem Fundamentalismus auf radikale Handlungsabsicht und untersucht dabei die Rolle von drei ausgewählten Risikofaktoren: Diskriminierungserfahrungen, Autoritarismus und Dem…
Rechtszynismus
Rechtszynismus bezeichnet die Tendenz einer Person, geltende Gesetze nicht anzuerkennen oder für sich als nicht bindend zu empfinden. Ist der Rechtszynismus in einer Gesellschaft erhöht, stellt dies eine Bedrohung für die Funktionsweise eines Staates und die Demokratie dar. Um das Konzept Rechtszynismus zu verstehen und sein Ausmaß in der Bevölkerung beeinflussen zu können, ist es unerlässlich, individuelle und kontextuelle Faktoren zu identifizi…
Soziologie der Nachbarschaft
Während immer neue Spaltungslinien wie soziale Ungleichheit, politische Polarisierung oder der Umgang mit Krisen zu gesellschaftlicher Fragmentierung führen, wird übersehen, dass Nachbarschaft im Alltag ein Potenzial für Zusammenhalt birgt. Das Buch geht daher der Frage nach, was Nachbarschaft eigentlich ist, und präsentiert zahlreiche empirische Befunde. Sebastian Kurtenbach zeigt, wie Nachbarschaft heute verstanden werden kann, welche Rolle Org…
Prevention of Neighborhood Effects on the Susceptibility to Radicalization
This study examines whether the neighborhood effect on vulnerability to radicalization can be mitigated by the density and diversity of social service organizations. In this study, vulnerability to radicalization is composed of perceived discrimination, distrust of democracy, and authoritarianism. To this end, data from surveys conducted in the three German cities of Dortmund ( n = 1,900), Bonn ( n = 1,986), and Berlin ( n = 2,060) is combined wi…
‘I fear only the neighbourhood and the Lord!’ Youth violence in marginalized spaces
Male juveniles in segregated poor neighbourhoods are at increased risk of violence. The code of the street approach is commonly used to understand the context informing street violence in such marginalized spaces, but the concept is mainly used in Western countries, especially in African American communities in the US. This study investigates whether the code of the street is also applicable to the largest Roma neighbourhood in Europe, located in…
Towards Digital Social Infrastructure? Digital Neighborly Connectedness as a Social Resource
Social infrastructure is made up of various material as well as non-material goods, ranging from venues for leisure such as movie theaters to indispensable everyday commodities, like sidewalks and streets. This is true both for urban and rural areas. However, the increasing emergence of digital aspects of social infrastructure has seemed to go unnoticed to some extent, with research specifically focusing on these digital aspects of social infrast…
Handlungsfelder und Adressierungen der Sozialen Arbeit
Die Handlungsfelder Sozialer Arbeit zu systematisieren ist nicht voraussetzungslos; aufgrund weitgehender Differenzierungen in der Praxis sind eine Gesamtübersicht sowie eine trennscharfe Benennung und Zuordnung kaum mehr möglich. Diese Entwicklungen berücksichtigt das Buch, indem es die bisherigen lebensalter- und lebenslagenbezogenen Systematisierungen um lebensraum- und lebenskontextbezogene sowie um disziplin- und professionsbezogene Handlung…
Bauernproteste in Deutschland
In die deutsche Protestlandschaft haben sich seit dem Herbst 2019 ebenfalls Bäuerinnen und Bauern eingereiht, die u. a. durch Blockaden und Mahnwachen auch Anfang 2021 immer wieder Aufmerksamkeit erregen. Die Forderungen und Anliegen, die mit den Protesten durchgesetzt werden sollen, sind vielfältig und beziehen sich sowohl auf ökonomische Existenzsorgen als auch auf gesellschaftliche Anerkennungsdefizite. Um einen Einblick in die Hintergründe un…
Global Street Code. A Cross-cultural Perspective on Youth Violence
Some twenty years ago Anderson’s seminal work, The Code of the Street, was published. The theoretical approach he developed there has been used in numerous studies focusing on youth violence, and is now treated as a general explanation of youth violence in risky neighborhoods in a number of disciplines. Expanding this, an international research project has used the concepts to compare violence-related norms and beliefs of male juveniles between 1…
Inequality and Uncertainty
Clarifying street culture
Scholarly fields are meant to be dynamic to accommodate new information that is infused with old. One of these areas is the notion, subject, subfield and process of street culture. Despite the frequency of its usage in the social sciences, urban planning, and selected areas of the visual arts, rarely is the term street culture defined and when it is, the definitions are often conceptually lacking. This article synthesizes current ideas about the …

Digitalisierung und Nachbarschaft
There has hardly been any other development that has changed our everyday lives as significantly as digitalisation, and there is hardly anything as commonplace as neighbourship. Despite the links between these two concepts growing, they have been neglected in social science research in Germany so far. The prevailing sentiment is that the Internet and social media sites have no connection to the real world, but there are countless neighbourship gr…
The Codes of the Street in Risky Neighborhoods
This book presents a comparative look at the norms and attitudes related to youth violence. It will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, as well as related fields such as sociology, demography, psychology, and public health

Perceptions of social disorder in public spaces in a disadvantaged neighborhood
Residents of segregated neighborhoods perceive social disorder in their neighborhoods differently. Starting from the broken-windows theory and the social organization approach, the paper develops a deeper understanding of the role of place for the perception of social disorder. Participant structural observations were conducted, along with a photo survey and collection of ethnographic data about six locations within the studied neighborhood. Comp…
