"Man Without Childhood - From Victim to Offender" is an interview with a pedophilic offender who spent two decades in forensic detention. The text provides insights from both the victim's and offender's perspectives into the commercially organized child abuse in Europe. In a parallel world to civil society, the trafficking of children, the production and distribution of child pornography, and the prostitution of children are a terrifying everyday reality in the midst of Germany. The report illustrates the functioning of organized child abuse and its interconnections with politics, justice, and other societal sectors. The organized abuse of children occurs in all societal spheres. The structures required for this are firmly in the hands of internationally operating organizations, which also find their customers in all societal areas, regardless of social class, educational level, nationality, religion, culture, or ideological orientation. Social ostracism and state penalties result in the potential blackmail of offenders. The masterminds behind organized child abuse use this blackmail vulnerability to influence politics, government administration, justice, or the economy. The conversations with the "key witness" Bonobo took place in the visitors' room of a forensic institution. They had to be terminated when conflicts arose between the informant and the institution. The final encounter happened in a highly secured room with a partition that made it nearly impossible to continue the conversations. Nevertheless, the informant was transferred to another facility without further notice. The interview was conducted on thin ice, especially regarding the Mafia organization that continued to control the informant within the correctional facility and set red lines.

The interview with Sissy Engl, a recognized and successful singer, actress, and choreographer, took place on July 6, 2012, in Munich. Sissy Engl is a co-founder of the "Mandolin Motions Einstein Show Academy," which she started in 1980 with Peter Mühlen. She is known for her artistic versatility. Particularly influential were her roles in theater plays by Fernando Arrabal and Jean-Paul Sartre, as well as her provocative performances in films during the sexual liberation of the 1970s. In the interview, Sissy Engl also discusses her collaborations with Munich cultural figures such as Katja Ebstein and Konstantin Wecker and provides insights into her often challenging personal experiences with colleagues in the cultural industry of the old Federal Republic. A recurring topic is her life with Peter Mühlen, who had attempted suicide the night before an interview she had arranged. The interview with Peter Mühlen, which took place under unusual and difficult circumstances, was one of his last public appearances before his death on September 15, 2012.

Judith Bernstein's parents left Germany a few years after the Nazis came to power. Since emigration to the USA was denied to them, they fled to what was then the British Mandate of Palestine and settled down in Rehavia, a suburb outside Jerusalem, like many German Jews at the time. In the "garden city" of Rehavia, Judith Bernstein was born in 1945 into a world shaped by the culture of its German-born residents, the Jeckes. Judith Bernstein was socialized into this German-Jewish society – and although her grandparents had been murdered in Auschwitz two years before her birth, she was strongly drawn to her parents' old homeland. When she received a scholarship from the city of Munich, she came to Germany in 1966 to study. She experienced the Six-Day War in 1967 from the Bavarian capital, a conflict that would have far-reaching consequences for the thinking of many Israelis and thus for the policies of Israel. Judith Bernstein did return to Israel, where she married and in 1973 and 1976 gave birth to her daughters Sharon and Shelly, but eventually, she concluded that Israel had ceased to be appealing to her. At the end of 1976, she returned to Germany, this time permanently. – Judith Bernstein has now been living for decades in Munich, where through her involvement in the Jewish-Palestinian Dialogue Group she advocates for reconciliation and peaceful coexistence between Jews and Palestinians. Her late husband Reiner Bernstein also supported her in this cause. Judith Bernstein discusses the experiences she and Reiner had to face due to their activism in the following conversation.

This work compiles experiences and lessons learned in meeting the unique needs of women and children regarding crime prevention and criminal justice, in particular the treatment and social reintegration of offenders and serves as a cross-disciplinary work for academic and policy-making analyses and follow-up in developing and developed countries. Furthermore, it argues for a more humane and effective approach to countering delinquency and crime among future generations. In a world where development positively depends on the rule of law and the related investment security, two global trends may chart the course of development: urbanization and education. Urbanization will globalize the concepts of “justice” and “fairness”; education will be dominated by the urban mindset and digital service economy, just as a culture of lawfulness will. This work looks at crime prevention education as an investment in the sustainable quality of life of succeeding generations, and at those who pursue such crime prevention as the providers of much-needed skills in the educational portfolio. Adopting a reformist approach, this work collects articles with findings and recommendations that may be relevant to domestic and international policymaking, including the United Nations Studies and their educational value for the welfare of coming generations. The books address the relevant United Nations ideas by combining them with academic approaches. Guided by the Editors’ respective fields of expertise, and in full recognition of academic freedom and “organized scepticism”, it includes contributions by lawyers, criminologists, sociologists and other eminent experts seeking to bridge the gap between academic and policy perspectives, as appropriate, against the international background, including the United Nations developments.​ The second volume opens with Part IV, which presents articles on different kinds of crime prevention. The effectiveness of punishment and, in particular, imprisonment is examined by contrasting it with alternative sanctions and the following questions are raised: Does harsh punishment have a crime preventive effect? What are the side effects of imprisonment on the offenders and their families? Are alternatives, such as restorative justice or mediation, more effective and cheaper? Part V outlines proactive strategies of crime prevention, e.g. for potential sex offenders or in the domain of internet crime. Part VI envisions a more peaceful and inclusive society, which would be realized by improving the protection of women and children in their everyday life, and easing the reintegration of those who have become offenders. The importance of the role played by the UN in formulating these goals is underlined. The volume concludes with an epilogue of the 70th President of the United Nations Economic and Social Council, Martin Sajdik, and a post scriptum of the editors. p>

During the Nazi regime, people were primarily evaluated based on their economic utility to the "national community." Individuals with mental illnesses, intellectual disabilities, or those labeled as "asocial" were classified by Nazi eugenicists as "hereditarily ill," forcibly sterilized, gassed in extermination centers, lethally injected in so-called healing and nursing homes, or starved to death. In an interview, the former commercial director of the Mainkofen District Hospital in Deggendorf, Lower Bavaria, answers questions about how the Nazi murder program was implemented in the clinic he managed.

Giora Feidman, often referred to as the "King of Klezmer", was born on March 25, 1936, in Buenos Aires. He continues to fill major concert halls worldwide with his music. This conversation provides deep insights into the creative output and influence of an extraordinary musician, remaining as a valuable and enlightening exchange in memory. In July 2012, I had the privilege of meeting the great clarinetist and instrumental soloist of Klezmer music, Giora Feidman, in Bad Staffelstein, Upper Franconia. After his impressive performance at "Songs on a Summer Evening," which had enchanted both me and about 5,000 other visitors at the festival in the meadow in front of Banz Abbey, we arranged to have breakfast the next morning at his hotel. The sound of his clarinet still resonated deeply within me, a testament to his extraordinary ability to captivate his audience.

Tom was the only adult who gave me the attention and affection that I so badly needed. I loved his caresses and the times he comforted me. I loved talking to him because he was the only adult who listened and understood. - Neil's Story From Victim to Offender shows how victims of child sexual abuse become juvenile and adult offenders. The stories told by these offenders reveal the vulnerability of boys to paedophiles and pederasts who provide the male attention lacking in some children's home lives. They show how early sexualisation damages children's sexual development, their relationships and their adult lives. The story of a female offender reveals that this problem is not confined to boys. These stories highlight the inadequacy of current child protection programs for the protection of boys. The editor's introduction and the chapter from a psychologist who specialises in the treatment of offenders emphasise the need to improve child protection and treatment programs for offenders. From Victim to Offender offers unique insights into the experiences of victims and offenders of sexual abuse, and is essential reading for professionals who are concerned about child protection and those responsible for the rehabilitation of offenders.

Peter Mühlen, a multifaceted personality in the German media scene, gave an interview at his home in Haar, near Munich, on August 1, 2012. Due to a severe health crisis the night before, Mühlen was unable to speak and initially had his partner, Sissy Engl, answer the posed questions. Peter Mühlen handed me several lines indicating that he intended to end his life. The interviewee, who had a versatile career as a radio host, actor, director, and music critic, was known for his meticulous documentation of his life and experiences. He had a significant impact on Munich's cultural scene and played a crucial role in reviving Erich Wolfgang Korngold's opera "Die tote Stadt" in Germany. Mühlen became known in the 1960s through his radio show 'Peter Mühlens Plattenkiste' on Bayerischer Rundfunk. He was also a co-founder of the private radio station "Neue Welle Bayern – Antenne München" and taught at the 'Mandolin Motions Einstein Show-Academy,' a project he started with Engl. Mühlen's life was limited by a severe illness that took his voice in March 2012, which is why he eventually answered my interview questions in writing. He passed away on September 15, 2012, and was honored at his funeral with Paul McCartney's 'Give Peace a Chance,' highlighting his deep connections to both cultural history and personal expression.
