New Trends of Criminology and Teaching Innovations
- Fear of crime -> more Punitiveness- Problems of conception and Measurement - Matthews (2005, p. 178): „Although the term
‚punitiveness‘ is widely used in the literature, there is little attempt to define or deconstruct it. The consequence is that punitiveness remains a ‚thin‘ and under-theorized concept. Ist largely undifferentiated nature and the general vagueness surrounding it, however, has not been an impediment to ist adoption“.
- New forms of control/surveillance (electr. Monitoring)

The effect of arrest and imprisonment on crime(Wan, Moffatt, Jones, Weatherburn 2012, p. 1)
Results:„1 % increases in arrest rates for property and
violent crime are estimated to produce 0.10 % and 0.19 % decreases in property and violent crime, respectively.
There was no evidence that increases in the length of imprisonment has any short or long-run impact on crime rates.“
