Zu den Auswirkungen der Inhaftierung Straffälliger auf Familienangehörige
Die Diskussion um Straftäter und Kriminalität konzentriert sich in der Öffentlichkeit – vielfach auch in der Fachliteratur – auf das aktuelle Kriminalitätsgeschehen, die begangenen Straftaten und die ausgesprochenen Sanktionen. Unberücksichtigt bleibt dabei oft die hinsichtlich der Kriminalprävention ausgesprochen wichtige Frage, vor welchem Hintergrund sich das straffällige Verhalten beim Täter entwickelt hat. Weiterhin bleiben vor allem auch di…
On the Preventative Effect of Sanctions for Drug Crime: The United States, Germany, and Portugal
One of the most discussed types of crime in Western countries is the use and sale of illegal drugs, especially hard drugs. The debate has become more heated over the few last years in the context of controversies over migration from the south to the north and an intensification of drug dealing. On the one hand, we find an increasing acceptance of soft drugs, while on the other hand, conservative groups argue for harsher punishment to reduce the p…

How Efficient Is Severe Punishment, Or: More Punishment, Less Crime
The article aims to answer the question of to what extent harsh punishments can help decrease crime rates. The analysis of data showing a correlation between crime rates and imprisonment rates in the USAindicates that, with regard to crime prevention, the severity of punishment plays only a minor role, if any. The data collected by a commission within the Health Ministry of Portugal after the reorganisation of the drug policy (which resulted in t…
Domestic Violence: Comparative Analysis of German and U.K. Research Findings

The Extent of Family Violence in Europe: A Comparison of National Surveys
This article reviews current victim studies on family violence in Europe and attempts to interpret the variation in the prevalence rates. Methodological shortcomings contribute in part to different rates across countries. The prevalence rates are also linked to preventive and causative factors. Three factors appear to explain the differing prevalence rates in European countries: deprived economic living conditions, traditional attitudes toward wo…
Aging and the Fear of Crime: Recent Results from East and West Germany
Fear of crime and the escalating official crime rate have become in the last decade notable themes in criminology and victimology: This is especially true since the reunification of Germany brought with it an opportunity to survey east German citizens regarding their inner security in a closed society with strong formal and informal controls. The results of several surveys by the authors and others will be discussed with special attention to the …
The Victim's Experience and Fear of Crime
With the rapid development of sophisticated victim surveys, the fear of crime has emerged as a fundamental concept in theoretical and practical discourse. Since publication of the Report of the President's Commission The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society (1967), the fear of offenders has become a major public concern in the United States alongside the mounting problem of crime itself. The flourishing of national crime surveys in the United Sta…
Obraz przestępczości w Niemczech oraz w Polsce w okresie transformacji ustrojowej (wybrane aspekty)
Among the negative side-effects of the fall of "Realsozialismus" in Central and Eastern Europe and the process of political, social and economic transformations initiated in 1989 there was a deterioration of internal safety in those countries. According to a popular opinion, this was manifested, among other things, by a growth - a rapid one in many instances - in the extent and intensity of crime, and also in negative changes of its structure whi…
The Position of the Victim in Criminal Procedure — Results of a German Study
In the last few years, the crime victim has moved into the forefront of criminological research and criminal justice policy. This is a worldwide development. In many countries, including the Federal Republic of Germany, victim protection and victim compensation laws have been enacted. The extent to which such legal steps effect an actual improvement of the victims' situation remains largely unexamined. This paper presents the results of a German …
