Soziale Probleme in Bewegung. Kriminalität als travelling concept (original) (raw)

Soziale Probleme, 2025

Abstract

Social problems are not a static condition. They are constituted, discussed, processed, modified, etc. These diverse processes are a central analytical and empirical focus for the sociology of social problems. Our contribution presents an option for dealing with the processual nature, but also the temporary fixation of social problems. We refer to the approach of a traveling concept, which we re-adjust in order to tie in with existing, pertinent studies and promote further problem-sociological studies. The focus is on context-specific practices of de- and recontextualization, through which meanings are formed. We use the example of crime to illustrate our point.
