This is evidenced by the alarmingly high number of recorded cases of politically motivated offenses with right-wing or far-right motivations. The central focus of the sub-project \u201cRexStraBay\u201d is to examine the handling of right-wing violent crimes by the police, public prosecutors, and courts. For this purpose, a case file study will be conducted, providing a comprehensive survey of all violent crimes registered as &#8220;politically motivated \u2013 right-wing&#8221; for specific years.   <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim of the project is to analyze the prosecution by the police and judiciary of right-wing extremist violent crimes from a criminological-sociological perspective. This includes, on the one hand, developing a phenomenology of violent crimes motivated by far-right ideologies, as far as it can be discerned from the case files. On the other hand, it involves examining the practical effectiveness of legislative amendments (particularly \u00a7 46 Abs. 2 StGB), which the legislature introduced in response to rising numbers of politically motivated crimes from the right-wing extremist spectrum. To date, the extent to which these political efforts are reflected in sentencing practices in Bavaria has not yet been studied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the project will examine the extent to which the victims&#8217; perspectives were considered during the proceedings. In the long term, this study will also help to increase the proportion of right-wing extremist violent crimes that are detected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide ansprechpartner-kasten\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"notosans-semibold\">Prof. Dr. Henning Ernst M\u00fcller<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>University of Regensburg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-regensburg.de\/rechtswissenschaft\/strafrecht\/mueller\/startseite\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chair of Criminal Law, Criminology, Juvenile Criminal Law, and the Penal System<br><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"notosans-semibold\">Hannah Weinert<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>University of Regensburg<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"mailto:RexStraBay@ur.de\">RexStraBay@ur.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:60px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mehr-infos\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.forgerex.de\/en\/projects\/transnational-forms-of-right-wing-extremism\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"137\">Gray Wolves in Bavaria (ReTra)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Violent Right-wing Extremism in Bavaria \u2013 An Empirical Analysis of Police and Judicial Prosecution of Right-Wing Violent Extremist Crimes Right-wing extremist activities are recognized by political and societal representatives as one of the most significant challenges to democracy.
