Summary
From translated summary tipped into book : "'Sex and Crime'. Apparently a very valuable study, illuminates the connection between biological changes in women (menses, menopause, marriage, childbirth) and their social behavior, their pathology, thier criminology . Many statistics; material primarily from Germany but also other countries. A mild, entertaining, (and sexless) series of 'snapshots' of the 'Beau Brummel' in Hamburg, the mores and ambitions of society. Vivid 'snapshots' of Hamburg harbor scenes; only 'the seaman' (23-24) and 'Saint Liederlich' (a description of the notorious St. Pauli section of Hamburg) are interesting for sexual mores of seamen. Study on Ballin (founder of HAPAG" line) has no sexual connotation whatsoever."
