The Art of Occupation takes a different view on this history, addressing this divergence through an extensive, interdisciplinary analysis of the interaction between military government and social order. Focusing on the American Zone and using previously unexamined American and Germany military reports, court records, and case files, the book assesses crime rates and the psychology surrounding criminality, and thereby offers the first comprehensive exploration of criminality, policing, and the fears amongst Germans and the Americans associated with conquest and potential resistance, social and societal integrity, national future, and a looming threat from communism in an emergent Cold War. It is therefore the fullest study of crime and governance the five years from the first Allied incursions into Germany from the West in September 1944, through the end of the military occupation in 1949. It is an important contribution to American and German social, military and police histories, and historical criminology." $c --Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Military government $z Germany (West) 650 0 $a Police $z Germany (West) $x History. 650 0 $a Crime $z Germany (West) $x History. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z Germany (West) $x History. 651 0 $a Germany $x Social conditions $y 1945-1955. 651 0 $a Germany $x History $y 1945-1955. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Affairs & Administration. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Crime. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00882984 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Military government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01021191 650 7 $a Police. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01068398 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 $a Germany (West) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210273 650 7 $a KriminalitaÂt $2 gnd 650 7 $a MilitaÂrregierung $2 gnd 650 7 $a Polizei $2 gnd 650 7 $a Soziale Situation $2 gnd 650 7 $a Strafjustiz $2 gnd 651 7 $a Westdeutschland $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1945-1955 $2 fast 653 $a American occupation of Germany 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019014902.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B4BFB356586511EA978CCE3397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
