There is a documentary "war time Crime", that may cover some of this.

Hi!

I am writing a paper about mortality during the last years of Weimar Republic, namely 1928-1933. Presenting the data in Berlin, scholars were struck by the figures about people dead by murder and manslaughter (Mord und Totschlag in German) because they seem really high. During the period 1927-1937, homicide rate has its peak at 1.9 every 100,000 people in 1932, which reported to Germany entire population of that year is around 1249 murders in a year.

However, even if 1.9 seems to be a small figure, it was not the case at that time because I found that Germany was the second country in terms of murder rate below Italy.

Moreover, I made a Google search about murders in Weimar Republic and I actually found out that high level of crimes were mostly perceived rather than actual. Indeed, there has been three serial killers during that period and a bunch of political murders but nobody consider the numbers particularly astonishing.

Is anybody aware of sources (even in German) where I can get information that confirm or not my understanding? Or is anybody aware by itself of the criminal framework of the last years of Weimar Republic?
