Rechtsextremismus und Rechtsterrorismus in Deutschland

Right-wing extremism and right-wing terrorism currently pose a significant threat to the internal security of the Federal Republic of Germany and are expected to do so for many years to come. In order to effectively counter this danger, knowledge of right-wing extremist structures, manifestations and modes of action is indispensable, especially for the police and security authorities. This book provides a compact presentation of contemporary right-wing extremism and right-wing terrorism in Germany. Starting with a definition and analysis of the terms, the author then turns his attention to right-wing extremist parties as well as organisations, groups and individuals. Furthermore, he shows current developments and phenomena in right-wing extremism and at this point comprehensively includes the problem area of right-wing extremists in the Bundeswehr and in the police forces. He then gives examples of the transition from right-wing extremism to right-wing terrorism and deals with right-wing terrorist cases such as the attacks in Halle and Hanau. In addition, the author devotes himself to right-wing extremist and right-wing terrorist content on the internet, before concluding with a presentation of current defensive measures taken by the security authorities. In its conception and structure, the book is aimed on the one hand at police officers in training and especially in their studies, and on the other hand at practitioners in the state and civil society field of responsibility of prevention and repression of right-wing extremism. Depending on the level of knowledge, it serves to provide a general overview of the topic or to deepen existing knowledge in a targeted manner.
