Sommario/riassunto

How is finance related to economic processes, and why should it be viewed as a public good requiring policy action? This book provides an answer. The book develops a practical framework for safeguarding financial stability, which encompasses both prevention and resolution of problems. It also examines on-going and future challenges to financial stability posed by globalization, a growing reliance on derivatives and their markets, and the capital market activities of insurers and reinsurers.

Sommario/riassunto

Frauen begehen kaum Gewaltverbrechen – Mord ist ein vorwiegend von Männern verübtes Delikt. Am spektakulären Einzelfall bilden sich normative Vorstellungen zu Macht, Gewalt, Sexualität und Geschlecht anhand der Konstruktion eines abnormalen Anderen ex negativo ab: Er führt vor, was die normale Frau, der normale Mann nicht sein kann.Melanie Grütter zeigt, dass die Definition von krimineller Abweichung in Wissensdiskursen ausgesprochen wirkmächtig in Bezug darauf ist, wie Geschlecht gedacht wird. Ihre historische Analyse stützt sich auf bisher kaum oder gar nicht erschlossene Primärquellen und eröffnet Einblicke auf die Permanenz und den Wandel von Geschlechterverhältnissen bis in die gegenwärtigen Diskurse.

Besprochen in:WeiberDiwan, Sommer 2018DHIVA, 3-6 (2018), Ulrich Brömmling

»Melanie Grütter gelingt es mit ihrer Studie, den Blick auf einen bisher wenig erforschten Aspekt der Kriminologie- und Kriminalitätsgeschichte zu öffnen. Damit legt sie – nicht zuletzt dank ihrer ausführlichen theoretischen Überlegungen – auch eine Basis für weitere Forschung zum Thema weiblicher Kriminalität und vor allem auch in Bezug darauf, wie Weiblichkeit innerhalb von Strafrechtssystemen verhandelt und definiert wird.«
