Research in the area of comparative criminology and comparative criminal justice has become a burgeoning means of inquiry among a growing number of academics and scholars. However todate, there have been no texts or formalized guidelines in how to engage in such inquiry. With this publications the editors offer the first comprehensive text designed to assist, facilitate and guide interested researchers in how to engage in comparative criminological/criminal justice research. The editors, already well recognized in the field, have collected a series of nine articles which serve as iluustrative examples to facilitate the reader in how to conduct such research. Each of the articles is accompanied with a series of questions and useful web-links to further assist the reader and/or student.

Die Bewährungshilfe hat sich seit ihrer Einführung neben dem Straf- und Maßregelvollzug mittlerweile zu einer dritten Säule der Strafvollstreckung entwickelt. Sie stellt damit eine wesentliche Alternative zur Freiheitsstrafe dar. In einem bis heute andauernden Prozess ist die Bewährungshilfe verschiedensten Veränderungen unterworfen. Die kontroverse Diskussion um die Privatisierung von öffentlichen Leistungen, hat mittlerweile auch den Sektor des Strafvollzuges und damit die Bewährungshilfe erfasst. Als erstes Bundesland hat Baden-Württemberg im Jahre 2007 die Bewährungshilfe einer privaten Organisation übertragen. Die Arbeit vergleicht die privaten Bewährungshilfeorganisationen Österreichs und der Niederlande mit dem öffentlichen System der BRD. Neben einer umfassenden Beschreibung der Organisationsstrukturen werden Handlungsabläufe in der Bewährungshilfearbeit dargelegt, wobei qualitative Aspekte der sozialpädagogischen Tätigkeit fokussiert werden. Eine abschließende Diskussion stellt aus dem Vergleich der Systeme Anregungen für eine Weiterentwicklung der deutschen Bewährungshilfe, im Sinne einer Verbesserung der Dienstleistungsqualität, vor. Das vorliegende Buch dient aufgrund der umfassenden Beschreibung und weitreichenden Gliederung auch als Arbeits- und Diskussionsgrundlage für die Bewährungshilfe in den beschriebenen Ländern.

Vol VII: Sybille Becker-Oehm: Die Kriminologische Regionalanalyse. Notwendige Ausgangsbasis für die Kommunale Kriminalprävention. 2010, ISBN 978-3-8196-0770-7, kart. (Softcover) 96 S. € 13,90 (In German)
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).
