Crime propensity and lifestyle risk: The interplay of personal morality and self-control ability in determining the significance of criminogenic exposure
According to Situational Action Theory, acts of crime are the result of a propensity—exposure interaction, with greater effects of criminogenic exposure for people of higher crime propensity—the latter determined by personal morality and the ability to exercise self-control. The present study delves into this interplay using individual-level survey data from adolescents in Slovenia. It goes beyond extant research by explicitly testing the three-w…
Untergräbt Kriminalitätsfurcht das Vertrauen in die Polizei: Ergebnisse einer Panelbefragung aus Deutschland
Numerous cross-sectional studies have revealed positive associations of fear of crime and trust in the police. However, the ›chicken or egg‹-question remains unsolved in these works. To address this issue, the present inquiry uses longitudinal survey data for determining the influence of crime-related fears on public attitudes towards the police. Secondary analyses of a German panel study show that fear of crime does not affect confidence in the …

Strafschnelligkeit – die in der empirischen Forschung vernachlässigte Dimension der negativen Generalprävention Bisherige Evidenzen und neue Befunde
Die Zeitspanne zwischen der Ausführung einer rechtswidrigen Handlung und ihrer Bestrafung markiert ein in der empirischen Abschreckungsforschung stark vernachlässigtes Thema. Während die Konsequenzen der Strafwahrscheinlichkeit und Strafhärte vielfach untersucht wurden, gibt es zur generalpräventiven Bedeutsamkeit der Strafschnelligkeit kaum Befunde. Die vorliegende Arbeit will diesem Ungleichgewicht entgegentreten. Dazu werden im Anschluss an ei…
Deterrence Perceptions, Self-Control Ability and the Moral Filter: Conceptualizing and Testing a Model of a Subsidiary Relevance of Deterrence
The idea of differential deterrence suggests that deterrent effects vary across individuals and settings. However, the pertinent research is poorly integrated and lacks a coherent theoretical conceptualization. This is why the present article seeks to (a) reconcile the empirical findings obtained for the most frequently investigated moderators of the magnitude of the deterrent effect, (b) introduce a novel model of a subsidiary relevance of deter…
Are women of all age groups equally affected by the shadow of sexual assault? Evidence from Germany
Ample evidence suggests that women are more fearful of crime than men. The ‘shadow of sexual assault hypothesis’ offers a possible explanation for this gender gap: in patriarchal societies females are more afraid of sexual violence, which, in turn, drives their fear of other types of criminal victimization. Although the shadow hypothesis has received some empirical support, knowledge on the role of age in this context has remained scant. Therefor…
Eine mikrosoziologisch inspirierte empirische Annäherung an die positive Generalprävention: Panelanalysen aus Deutschland mit gemischten Befunden
Positive Generalprävention nimmt an, dass die für alle Rechtsadressaten sichtbare Bestrafung eines Normbruchs in der Rechtsgemeinschaft eine normbekräftigende Wirkung entfaltet, die in weiterer Folge ein rechtskonformes Handeln hervorbringt. Umgelegt auf die Individualebene ergibt sich daraus eine Beziehungskette, der zufolge wahrgenommene Sanktionierungsrisiken die dispositionelle Normbindung beeinflussen und nur letztere dann das Legalverhalten…
Does Empathy Attenuate the Criminogenic Effect of Low Self-Control in Late Life
The present study investigates whether empathy shapes the criminogenic effect of low self-control in late adulthood. Based on the assumption that the capacity to understand and share the thoughts and emotions of other people moderates the significance of the capability to consider the distant consequences of behaviour on oneself, we posit that poor self-control is less consequential among senior citizens of high empathy. The results of a postal s…
Do Morality and Self-Control Protect from Criminogenic Peer Influence? Testing Multidimensional Person–Environment Interactions
The present study examines whether the effect of involvement with delinquent friends on young peoples criminal activity is contingent on adolescents personal morality and their capacity for self-control and how these enduring properties work together in determining youths vulnerability to peer influence. The corresponding personenvironment interactions are tested based on a longitudinal student survey from Austria. Findings reveal conditional pee…
Die unklare Beziehung von Normakzeptanz und Sanktionsrisikobeurteilung. Gerechtigkeitsglaube oder moralfestigende Normverdeutlichung
Die vorliegende rechtssoziologische Untersuchung bemüht sich um eine empirische Klärung des Beziehungsverhältnisses von Normakzeptanz und Sanktionsrisikobeurteilung. Querschnittskorrelationen auf Befragungsdatenbasis zeigen regelmäßig, dass eine gehobene Normanerkennung von einer größeren Sanktionsrisikoeinschätzung begleitet wird, sagen aber nichts über die kausale Richtung der Verbindung. Der Verinnerlichungsgrad einer Rechtsnorm kann sowohl Ur…
Hebt ein gesteigertes Vertrauen in die Polizei das kriminalitätsbezogene Sicherheitsbefinden: Instrumentalvariablenanalysen im Bezugsrahmen der Beruhigungshypothese
Kurzfassung Die in der Bevölkerung verbreitete assoziative Verknüpfung von Polizei und Kriminalität bzw. deren Bekämpfung gibt Anlass zur Vermutung, ein hohes Vertrauen in die Exekutive würde Verbrechensfurcht reduzieren. Die Belastbarkeit dieser »Beruhigungshypothese« kann anhand von Daten des Deutschen Viktimisierungssurveys 2017 empirisch geprüft werden. Die Resultate mehrerer Instrumentalvariablenanalysen sprechen gegen eine furchtpräventive …
Sprayen im Zeichen niedriger Selbstkontrolle. Eine Anwendung der General Theory of Crime auf das Sprühen von Graffitis
Gottfredson und Hirschis „General Theory of Crime" postuliert, dass niedrige Selbstkontrolle die Hauptursache kriminellen Handelns darstellt. Selbstkontrolle bezeichnet dabei die einigermaßen stabile Fähigkeit eines Individuums, zeitlich verzögerte Konsequenzen des eigenen Handelns vorhersehen und bei der Entscheidungsfindung miteinbeziehen zu können. Ob dieses Personenmerkmal auch das Sprayen von Graffitis erklären kann, bedarf noch einer empiri…

The Role of Morality and Self-Control in Conditioning the Criminogenic Effect of Provocation. A Partial Test of Situational Action Theory
The role of motivation has been widely neglected in criminological research. One general framework that sheds light on the processes governing whether crime is perceived and chosen as a response to a given motivation is Situational Action Theory (SAT). The theory posits that experiences of temptation and provocation lead to criminal activity especially in the presence of weak personal moral rules and poor ability to exercise self-control. Based o…

Differenzielle Abschreckbarkeit als Evidenzgrundlage negativer Generalprävention – Eine Bestandsaufnahme der kriminologischen Wissensbasis
Die Abschreckungsdoktrin setzt auf Sanktionsfurcht als Mittel zur Eindämmung von Kriminalität. So plausibel die Hypothese, Furcht vor staatlicher Strafe würde Delinquenz verhindern, auch klingt: Empirische Forschung zeichnet ein eher ernüchterndes Bild von den kriminalpräventiven Erträgen angedrohter gerichtlicher Bestrafung. Aus dem Bereich der negativen Generalprävention entfaltet allenfalls die Sanktionierungswahrscheinlichkeit einen mäßigen V…
Taugt die aggregierte Delinquenzrate einer Schulklasse als Maßzahl für die Bestimmung kriminogener Peer-Effekte: Ausgewählte Probleme und Lösungsmöglichkeiten
In der kriminologischen Forschung werden Effekte delinquenter Peerexposition auf das Legalverhalten junger Menschen gerne im Bezugsrahmen statistischer Mehrebenenanalysen bestimmt, in welchen die auf Kontextebene hochaggregierten Selbstauskünfte der befragten Personen als Indikator für die Kriminalitätsbelastung der Freunde verwendet werden. Gerade im europäischen Raum liegen solchen Untersuchungen häufig schulbasierte Stichproben zugrunde. Still…
Self-control and offending in late adulthood. Investigating self-control's interaction with opportunities and criminal associations in advanced age
Does Perceived Peer Delinquency Amplify or Mitigate the Deterrent Effect of Perceived Sanction Risk
The present article studies the interplay of perceived peer delinquency and perceived sanction risk in crime causation. Different sets of hypotheses are formulated. From Situational Action Theory (SAT), it follows that adolescents who have many delinquent friends are more frequently exposed to a crime-conducive moral context. As a consequence, they will more often feel tempted to engage in criminal behavior, which renders them more responsive to …
Testing Situational Action Theory: A narrative review of studies published between 2006 and 2015
This work provides an overview of the current state of research on Situational Action Theory (SAT). Studies that have examined core propositions of SAT within the period 2006 to 2015 are reviewed. The principal aim of this narrative review is to answer the following four questions: (1) Which hypotheses of SAT have been put to the test in empirical enquiries? (2) What does the empirical evidence say about these propositions? (3) Which statements o…

On the Conditional Relevance of Controls: An Application of Situational Action Theory to Shoplifting
Classic self-control theory and the pure deterrence argument have both been recently challenged by integrative theory and appropriate empirical evidence suggesting that controls are only conditionally relevant to action. Situational Action Theory (SAT) provides a fertile framework within which to study the effectiveness of controls. Specifically, SAT's principle of the conditional relevance of controls states that controls only influence behavior…

Eine gegenwartig stetig an Prominenz gewinnende allgemeine Theorie abweichenden Handelns ist Per-Olof Wikstroms Situational Action Theory. Bei aller Forschung, die die Theorie inzwischen stimulieren konnte, wurde das Erklarungsmodell bislang nur bruchstuckhaft auf das Phanomen der Ladendiebstahlsdelinquenz angewendet. Die vorliegende Arbeit will diese Forschungslucke schliesen. Gestutzt auf eine Schulerbefragung aus Osterreich wird untersucht, we…

Social Insecurities and Fear of Crime: A Cross-National Study on the Impact of Welfare State Policies on Crime-related Anxieties
This article assesses the association between national welfare state regimes and public insecurities about crime across Europe. A multilevel analysis of respondents in 23 countries sampled in the 2004/05 European Social Survey finds a strong relationship between insecurities about crime and national levels of social expenditure and decommodification of social welfare policy. Some social protection measures are more strongly associated with nation…

Is the Effect of Perceived Deterrence on Juvenile Offending Contingent on the Level of Self-Control? Results from Three Countries
The aim of this paper is to study the interplay of perceived deterrence and level of self-control in explaining individual differences in self-reported offending. Different theories of crime come to different conclusions in this regard. Some postulate independent negative effects of perceived sanction risk on offending (Deterrence Theory), while others assume that low self-control undermines the deterrent effect of legal sanctions (Self-Control T…
Culture, Institutions, and Morally Dubious Behaviors: Testing Some Core Propositions of the Institutional-Anomie Theory
This study draws on self-report data on the prevalence of morally dubious behaviors in Europe to examine Messner and Rosenfeld's institutional-anomie theory. Institutional-anomie theory tries to explain cross-national differences in crime rates through the interplay between the cultural commitments and the institutional arrangements characterizing a society. The relevant state of research is unsatisfactory and full of gaps. Deficiencies exist, es…
Explaining the Gender Gap in Juvenile Shoplifting: A Power-Control Theoretical Analysis
Shoplifting is one of the crimes with the smallest gender gap among all offense types. Contrary to common stereotypes, males commit shoplifting more frequently than females. Apart from the insight that the share of female offenders is highest for crimes that are well compatible with the prevailing female role, the roots of the gendered distribution of shoplifting have not been extensively studied. Its focus on gender roles and gendered socializat…

Is the ‘Shadow of Sexual Assault’ Responsible for Women’s Higher Fear of Burglary
This article examines the ‘shadow of sexual assault hypothesis’ which posits that women’s higher fear of crime, compared to males, can be attributed to their elevated fear of sexual victimization. We argue that the previous, overwhelmingly supportive, research on this issue is incomplete in three ways: (1) the thesis has not yet been extensively tested outside of North America, (2) competing, possibly overlaying, shadow effects of physical violen…

A differential phenomenology of stalking: Using latent class analysis to identify different types of stalking victimization
Stalking is a complex social phenomenon which can take on many different forms. In this article, efforts are made to reduce the multiplicity of heterogeneous patterns of stalking victimization to a small number of distinct victimization profiles. Based on a survey of Austrian stalking victims, a typology of stalking profiles is developed that reflects the different phenotypes of stalking victimization in terms of the behavioural components of the…
