Abstract

On the basis of the sources available from the Nuremberg war trials this study raises the question of the relevance of this material for gender-related studies on perpetrators. It does not content itself with a direct comparison of male and female criminals, but suggests new approaches, thereby avoiding to view violence as a male dominion.
