Das Phänomen der 'Kommunalen Kriminalprävention' existiert in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland nun seit annähernd 20 Jahren. Vielerorts haben sich Sicherheitspartnerschaften, „Runde Tische“ und Kriminalpräventive Räte aus Vertretern verschiedener Behörden, Vereine, Kirchen, Schulen und diverser anderer Institutionen zum Ziel gesetzt, die Sicherheitslage in den Städten bzw. Kommunen sowie die Lebensqualität der Bürger zu verbessern. Die 'Kommunale Kriminalprävention' soll Partizipation, die Einbindung vielfältigen Sachverstandes sowie Synergieeffekte durch regelmäßige Interaktion und Kooperation, Orientierung an konkreten, regionalen (Kriminalitäts-) Problemen, innovative Lösungsmöglichkeiten sowie die Eröffnung neuer Perspektiven durch viele unterschiedliche Akteure ermöglichen und folglich zur Wiederbelebung sozialer Netzwerke beitragen. Leider fehlt es jedoch häufig an einer stabilen datenmäßigen Ausgangsbasis, von der ausgehend man zielgerichtete Strategien planen könnte und ferner an der Evaluation durchgeführter Strategien. Potential bergende Projekte verlaufen nach kurzer Zeit häufig im Sande. Es wird hier untersucht, ob und inwiefern diesen Problemen durch das Erstellen sog. 'Kriminologischer Regionalanalysen', einer spezifischen Form der Lagebilderstellung, im Vorfeld kommunaler Präventionsaktivitäten Abhilfe geschaffen werden kann und ob diese eine effektivere, ökonomischere und zielgerichtete kommunale Kriminalprävention ermöglichen.

During the past two decades criminological discussion in Western industrial societies has been increasingly focused on the concept of punitiveness, a concept that is frequently linked to the staggering rise in inmate numbers in the United States from the first half of the 1970 onward, making it the country with the highest prison rate per 100,000 inhabitants in the Western world. Lee sees the development in the United States in connexion with the growing discussion of "fear of crime" during the late 1960s. "Since the late 1960s the fear of crime has progressively become a profoundly engaging field of study for criminologists and other social researchers" (2001, p. 467; see also Hale 1996). The findings of inquiries and opinion polls, which confirmed the presence of such fears among the population, moved the topic to the forefront and it did not take long until it was "discovered" by politicians. This development went hand in hand with increased media reporting on crime related matters, usually concerning spectacular cases, and thus creating in the population a distorted image of the actual extent and nature of crime (see Beckett and Sasson 2004). Some politicians were quick to use this erroneous perception for their own purposes by creating so-called "politics of fear" (see, for instance, for Japan Miyazawa 2008).

About the Book:

This book, the second of a three-volume edition of papers by experts from over 20 countries, makes available the results of 19 studies on fear of crime and punitiveness in Western and Eastern Europe, South America, Japan and South Africa. In Part One, the relationships between insecurity, politics and the media are illustrated, and the influence exercised on crime policy by public opinion and media reporting is analyzed. Part Two shows that the results obtained when assessing feelings of insecurity and punitive attitudes depend to a great extent on the methodology used. The concept of punitiveness is a complex one, and the crucial question is to determine what should be measured, and how it should be measured. The reader will find here the results of surveys from Poland, Greece, Spain, Estonia, Costa Rica, Serbia and Croatia. Part Three offers studies of the development of criminal legislation in Turkey, Japan, Russia, France and South Africa. These show a

common tendency toward more punitive legislations, especially for serious crimes.
