1977 Zitate zur RAF - von der Vorgeschichte bis zur Nachwirkung

The Murder That Changed a City.

The tragic story of Shoeshine Boy Emanuel Jaques has been the basis of novels, short stories, a documentary, a play, songs, a children's book on the dangers of abduction, and dozens of essays, but never a True Crime book...until now.

The torture and killing of Emanuel over a 12-hour period above a seedy Toronto body rub parlour outraged citizens who demanded change to Toronto's Yonge Street strip, which by 1977 resembled New York's grimy 42nd Street with its many X-rated movie theatres, massage parlours, pornographic bookstores, and prostitutes.

Through a series of original interviews, archival research, and previously unpublished documents, author Robert J. Hoshowsky recreates in detail Emanuel's brutal death, the hunt for the boy's killers, the shocking trial and press coverage, the controversial Yonge Street clean-up, and what remains one of the most sensational True Crime cases in Canadian history.

OUTRAGE

Andersheit - Fremdheit - Ungleichheit

Setzt man sich mit Kriminalliteratur auseinander, befasst man sich meistens mit Kriminalfiktion(en), mit literarischen Verbrechen, die zwar Bezüge zur ¿wirklichen Wirklichkeit¿ und somit auch zur wahren Kriminalität aufweisen können, die aber letztendlich stets als etwas Fiktives bzw. Fiktionales empfunden werden. Dabei machte die Kriminalliteratur immer wieder Anleihen beim realen Verbrechen, indem sie entweder vor dem Hintergrund realer Tatverläufe Geschichten erzählte oder dieselben realen Tatverläufe reportagemäßig dokumentierte. Ein ähnlich differentes Verhältnis lässt sich auch in anderen medialen Feldern finden, die u.a. das Verbrechen, die Ermittlung und die Bestrafung zum Thema haben, wie in Film oder Fernsehen. Die Beiträge in diesem Sammelband widmen sich dem Problem von (medial, literarisch) erzählter und (politisch, gesellschaftlich) erlebter Kriminalität, um auf diesem Wege auch der Frage nach (nicht?) bestehenden Synergien zwischen ihnen nachzugehen.

When engaging with crime literature, one is usually dealing with crime fiction(s), with literary crimes that, although they may have connections to 'actual reality' and thus to real criminality, are ultimately always perceived as something fictional. In this context crime literature has repeatedly drawn on real crimes, either telling stories against the backdrop of real criminal events, or documenting the same real events in a journalistic manner. A similar yet distinct relationship between criminal reality and criminal fictionality can also be found in other media fields that focus on crime, investigation, and punishment, such as film or television. The contributions in this anthology address the problem of crime narrated (in film, media, or literature) and crime experienced (in political and societal contexts), in order to explore the question of whether or not there are synergies between them.

Ästhetiken des Grauens

Condemned Without Cause, is Patricia Borden's account of her twenty-year fight to bring her son Stephen home from a 75-year prison sentence. Stephen May is autistic. As a toddler he was diagnosed with ataxia, a neurological condition that affects his gait and coordination. With no prior criminal record, in 2007 a jury witnessed his disability and called it guilt, convicting him under an Arizona statute that was later ruled unconstitutional. The law has since been thrown out, but Stephen remains behind bars, as Mrs. Borden continues to believe that justice will prevail. Senior U.S. District Judge Frederic Block, who presided over Stephen's federal habeas case, was so moved by the injustice that he dedicated his 2024 book, A Second Chance, to Stephen by name.

True Crime: Zwischen Gerichtssaal und Streaming

When Markus Jooste died in 2024, he took many of Steinhoff's secrets with him. But not all of them.
 
The collapse of Steinhoff wiped more than R200-billion from global stock markets and exposed the largest corporate fraud in South African history. For years the full account of what happened remained locked inside a confidential forensic report and was kept from the public. 
 
Now, James-Brent Styan, author of the bestselling 2018 book on Steinhoff, returns to the scandal that shook South Africa's business world. Drawing on the full forensic report and multiple interviews with key insiders speaking for the first time, Styan uncovers new details about Jooste's secret lives, the way he ran his company and the silences that allowed the deception to grow. 
 
This gripping sequel reveals how unchecked ambition and blind self-interest outmanoeuvred every corporate-governance safeguard and built a house of cards in plain sight. Until it all came crashing down.

Antique Hunter's Series

The third novel in the “delightful, page-turning” (Tom Ryan, USA TODAY bestselling author) Antique Hunter Series finds Freya, Aunt Carole, and friends searching for a missing colleague in picturesque Scotland. Hot on the heels of an art forger, a member of the Lockwood Antique Hunter’s Agency disappears while investigating an isolated castle deep in Scottish countryside. Freya and Aunt Carole race to her last known location and arrive in the wintry, snow-covered Scottish Borders. At the castle, they discover that a murdered laird in the vegetable garden and his priceless collection of silverware has been stolen. Local police believe Freya’s missing team member was involved with the robbery and murder...but where is she now? As a snowstorm descends on the castle, Freya and Carole call in back-up to help uncover what happened that fateful night. As each question is met with more mystery, the clock is ticking to find their friend and the murderer before they are cut off from the outside world. Another delightfully gripping and endearing mystery, the Antique Hunter’s Series provides “great characters, great story, and you’re always eager for the next one” (Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants).

Forensics For Dummies

He Promised Them Opportunity. He Gave Them Death.Three Young Women Vanished. One Survivor Exposed Their Killer.

Los Angeles in the 1950s drew young women with promises of work, independence, and a chance at something bigger. Harvey Glatman saw an opportunity of another kind.

Posing as a photographer and using lonely-hearts clubs and modeling agencies to find victims, Glatman abducted and murdered Judith Dull, Ruth Mercado, and Shirley Bridgeford, leaving their bodies in the Southern California desert. For months, their disappearances remained disconnected and unexplained.

Then Glatman targeted Lorraine Vigil. She fought back, survived, and helped expose the man behind a horrifying series of crimes. Investigators soon uncovered photographs of bound women and evidence linking Glatman to the missing victims.

A killer had been hiding in plain sight. Drawing on court records, contemporary newspapers, archival material, and original research, BOUND TO DIE: The Young Victims of a Serial Killer and Rapist follows Harvey Glatman's trail from the streets of Los Angeles into the desolate Southern California desert, where three young women met their deaths.
