Wien um die Jahrhundertwende: Die Menschen in der Kaiserstadt, in einem goldenen Zeitalter und gleichzeitig nicht-ahnend am Ende eines Zeitalters, waren Zeugen wie auch Akteure einer bedeutenden Blütezeit in der Philosophie, Malerei, Architektur, Musik und Literatur, aber auch in der Mathematik, der Medizin und den Wirtschafts- und Rechtswissenschaften.
Dass diese Epoche leider auch eine Zeit steigender Kriminalität, dadurch bedingt aber auch eine Zeit der rasanten Entwicklung der Methoden der Kriminalistik war, ist vielleicht weniger bekannt.
Der vorliegende Band stellt eine besonders anschauliche Materialkategorie der erkennungsdienstlichen Polizeiarbeit dar: die sogenannten „Mugshots", also polizeiliche Täterbilder. Für mich persönlich ist das ein besonders spannender Zugang zur österreichischen Kriminalgeschichte sowie zur Geschichte der österreichischen Kriminalistik.
Ich bedanke mich bei den Autoren für ihre akribische Arbeit und wünsche den Leserinnen und Lesern eine erkenntnisreiche und spannende Lektüre.

Vienna around the turn of the century: people in the imperial city, in a golden age and at the same time unsuspectingly at the end of an age, were witnesses as well as actors of an important heyday in philosophy, painting, architecture, music and literature, as well as in mathematics, medicine, economics and law.
It is perhaps less well known that this epoch was unfortunately also a time of rising crime, along with a rapid development in the methods of criminalistics. 
This volume presents a particularly descriptive category of police identification material, the so-called „mugshots", i.e. images of offenders in police  files. For me personally, this is a particularly exciting approach to Austrian criminal history and the history of Austrian criminalistics.
I would like to thank the authors for their meticulous work and wish the readers an insightful and exciting read.

A mysterious writer from the Great Northern Wasteland known only as Toronto, invites you to share his journey into writing. A look at the writing process, deleted chapters, covers and unseen artwork, a look at how to build a social media campaign... this is a no procrastination zone (ha!), a journey into sound (great music is a must), with the occasional question and answer session. Let's go!
