Sören Andreas Bjerre, known as Andreas Bjerre, (21 March 1879 – 22 November 1925) was a Swedish academic specialising in criminal law and criminal psychology.
Early life and career
Born in Göteborg in 1879, Andreas Bjerre was the son of Sören Bjerre, who was a merchant, and Sophie Jörgensen. His brother was the psychologist Poul Bjerre (1876-1964).
Andreas Bjerre studied as a student in Strängnäs from 1897, and received his bachelor's degree in Uppsala in 1900. In winter 1900-1901 he studied in Paris, and received his degree in law (Juris utriusque kandidat) in Lund in 1904, before studying in Berlin from late 1904 until 1906. He enrolled at Stockholm University in 1909 and received and his master's and doctorate degrees in law there in the following year. He worked as a notary at the judge's office and also as a judge in the period 1907-8. During the years 1910-1915 Bjerre studied the psychology of criminals intensively in Swedish prisons, and was appointed to the board of the association of Swedish Criminologists where he also edited their journal Förhandlingar from 1915-1918.[1][2]
In 1919 Bjerre was made a professor of criminal law at the University of Dorpat (now known as Tartu) in Estonia, and became also the professor of legal philosophy there from 1921.[2] In 1925 his work Bidrag till mordets psykologi was published, one of the first works on the subject of the psychology of murderers. It was later translated into German and English, with the English title being The Psychology of Murder.
Personal life and death
In 1904 Bjerre married Countess Amelie Posse, later a noted author, pacifist, and anti-Nazist.[3] Posse's mother Gunhild Wennerberg (1860-1925) married Andreas Bjerre's brother Poul the year after.[4] Andreas Bjerre and Posse were divorced in 1912 and Bjerre married Baroness Ida Magdalena (Madeleine) Bennet the same year.[2]
Andreas Bjerre died from an overdose whilst staying at a guest house in Tyringe, Sweden in 1925 at the age of 46. He left a note for his wife Madeleine and for his mother. His brother Poul, for whom Andreas had often expressed great hatred in his diaries, refused to accept that it was suicide.[5]
