WORLD:
Prof. Fischer, in a children's book by Janosch, a talking frog kisses a silent tiger duck.
A German feminist thinks that this is not suitable for children, since sexual acts are carried out on a silent figure.
What do you think?
Thomas Fischer:
This statement misses the point of what it claims to be speaking about so blatantly that I really can't think of anything.
WORLD:
Speaking of fiction: Sex and Crime - the title of your book suggests fiction rather than facts.
Is criminal practice straying from the facts?
Fischer:
Yes.
Criminal justice policy deals with reality in a very special way, reinterpreting it as it would like it to be and then fighting it as it would like it.
According to a new law passed by the Bundestag, very minor acts of abuse will soon also be considered a crime, allegedly to deter potential perpetrators.
Human history teaches that this has not worked for thousands of years.
People just keep committing crimes.
