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.

犯罪局外人的形象今天以许多不同的方式存在：例如，在对罗马人的深度看法中，作为习惯罪犯或关于波兰汽车小偷的笑话。考虑到这一点，似乎值得一提的是，以种族为基础的犯罪过程是一种特别有效的社会排斥形式。该项目使用有组织的政治体系中的两个地区的历史例子来审查这些过程：德国帝国内的普鲁士东部省份，一个被认为是民族国家的实体，但实际上实际上构成了一个托管多个国籍的实体，以及在多民族哈布斯堡君主制中的波西米亚人。该项目旨在揭示特定种族的外部图像与犯罪概念相关的机制和解释模式，从而构建了犯罪“他人”的群体。考虑到这个目的，它旨在分析​​与犯罪性有关的全州范围的话语和区域社会实践。该分析的起点是，研究基于种族的犯罪过程将有助于概述对主导社会群体的自我认同，其包容性和扩张实践以及参与人口部分人的政治和社会生活，被确定为不同的统治结构。因此，它可以做出非常有用的贡献，不仅对德国帝国和哈布斯堡君主制的社会和文化历史，而且对其他政治制度的历史。
