What turns an ordinary person into a sadist and a killer? In 1942, the Nazis sent around 4,500 Yugoslav prisoners to concentration camps in Northern Norway. By the end of the war, only a third of them remained alive. Many horrors of the concentration camps became widely known. Unimaginable things were discovered. Torture. Mass extermination of people. The guards in these camps were not only German Nazis, but also ordinary Norwegians. After the war, some were convicted for their cruel treatment and murder of prisoners. How was this possible? Perhaps these people were mentally abnormal, monsters? Or is it the result of abnormal social systems and relationships? How does the penitentiary system change the psychology of the criminal? What happens to the psyche of the guard? And why do we calmly observe this? Professor Nils Christie is a member of the Norwegian Academy of Sciences and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, a leading contemporary criminologist widely known in the global scientific community. For many years, N. Christie was the director of the Norwegian Institute of Criminology and Criminal Law, and the president of the Scandinavian Council on Criminology.
