Minor criminality in Łódź under occupation till 1917 in light of the judiciary praxis and press releases

Summary/Abstract: Under German occupation during World War I the civil authorities in Łódź were trying to keep the order in town. The recognition-reconciliation commissions by CKMO (pol. Centralny Komitet Milicji Obywatelskiej) in Łódź were firstly used to deal with the minor crimes. There is a scant archival material and some press releases concerning their activity. The majority of the documented cases dealt with crimes against property. After the occupational courts’ organisation was introduced dealing with the minor crimes was given to the Imperial German Courts of Peace in Łódź. The information about their activity can be found in local press releases and in archival materials in State Archive in Łódź. Most of cases concerned the acts against property, honor and public interest. Among the last type of cases we can find bribery, forgery, violation of customs regulation, currency and commerce regulation.
