The image of the criminal outsider is present today in many different ways: for example in the deep-rooted perceptions of the Roma as habitual criminals or in jokes about Polish car thieves. Taking this into account it would seem worthwhile to take a look at the conditions under which ethnically based criminalization processes emerge as a particularly effective form of social exclusion. The project examines these processes using the historical example of two regions within differently organized political systems: the eastern provinces of Prussia, within the German Empire, an entity conceived as a nation state but in reality constituting an entity hosting multiple nationalities, and the Bohemian Lands within the multi-nation Habsburg monarchy. The project intends to uncover mechanisms and interpretative patterns through which outside images of particular ethnic groups were associated with notions of criminality, and thus served to construct groups of criminal "others." With this purpose in mind, it is intended to analyze state-wide discourses and regional social practices in relation to criminality. The starting point for this analysis is the view that examining ethnically based criminalization processes will help in outlining the self-identification of dominant social groups, their inclusion and expansion practices and the participation in political and social life of portions of the population identified as being other under different ruling structures. It can thus make a very informative contribution, not only to the social and cultural history of the German Empire and the Habsburg monarchy, but also that of other political systems.

如今，犯罪局外人的形象以多种不同的方式呈现：例如，在罗姆人作为惯犯的根深蒂固的观念中，或者在关于波兰偷车贼的笑话中。考虑到这一点，似乎值得研究一下基于种族的刑事定罪程序在何种条件下成为一种特别有效的社会排斥形式。该项目使用不同组织政治体系中两个地区的历史例子来研究这些过程：德意志帝国境内的普鲁士东部省份，一个被视为民族国家的实体，但实际上构成了一个拥有多个民族的实体，以及波西米亚土地在多民族的哈布斯堡王朝内部。该项目旨在揭示特定种族群体的外部形象与犯罪概念相关联的机制和解释模式，从而有助于构建犯罪“其他人”群体。考虑到这一目的，本文旨在分析与犯罪相关的全州范围内的言论和区域社会实践。本分析的出发点是这样的观点：审查基于种族的定罪过程将有助于概述占主导地位的社会群体的自我认同、他们的包容和扩张做法以及被认为是其他群体的部分人口对政治和社会生活的参与。在不同的统治结构下。因此，它不仅可以对德意志帝国和哈布斯堡王朝的社会和文化历史做出非常丰富的贡献，而且可以对其他政治制度的社会和文化历史做出非常丰富的贡献。
