Dirk Baier
Dirk Baier is a prominent criminologist and researcher affiliated with the University of Zurich and the Institute for Delinquency and Crime Prevention at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences. He specializes in studying criminal behavior and societal issues, particularly the radicalization of certain fringe groups, including those who reject state authority, often referred to as 'state deniers'. His insights are crucial in understanding the dynamics of such groups in Switzerland, especially in light of recent incidents involving violence and threats against state officials. Baier advocates for increased monitoring of these groups due to their potential for escalation and violence.
