Julia Habermann is a research fellow in the Department of Criminology at the Ruhr-University of Bochum.
Her research concentrates on gender-specific violence, particularly violence in relationships and femicide, as well as politically motivated violence, fear of criminality, and societal concepts of culpability. Further areas of interest include problems with the gathering of administrative statistics, gender-related issues, and quantitative methods of social research. In her dissertation (Partnerinnentötungen und deren gerichtliche Sanktionierung, 2023 – The killing of female partners and its legal sanctioning), she analyzes and compares court verdicts on the killing of female partners as a form of femicide.
Julia Habermann is a member of Prof. Dr. Julia Burkhardt’s CAS Research Group “Femicide: Interdisciplinary Approaches to a Global Historical Phenomenon”. She will be in Munich as a Visiting Fellow from February to March 2026.
