德国警方记录在案的犯罪统计数据显示，在截至2003年的10年中，犯罪总数有所下降。与这一趋势相反，基于调查的证据表明，德国公众认为或假设，总的来说，犯罪有所增加。此外，赞成更严厉刑罚的人的比例有所增加，多变量分析表明，犯罪率上升的信念是与倾向于更严厉刑罚最密切相关的因素。对调查数据的进一步分析表明，看电视的模式与犯罪率上升的信念有关。这种结果模式表明，包括虚构或真实的犯罪处理的电视广播刺激了这种对现实的偏见。本文讨论了这些调查结果的意义，在国家和国际犯罪政策的发展。
The German statistics of police-recorded crime show a decline in total offences over the 10 years up to 2003. In contrast to that trend, survey-based evidence shows that the German public believes or assumes, on balance, that crime has increased. Moreover, the proportion of people who are in favour of tougher sentencing has increased, and multivariate analyses show that the belief that crime is rising is the factor most strongly associated with a preference for stiffer penalties. Further analysis of survey data shows that the pattern of television viewing is associated with the belief that crime is rising. This pattern of results suggests that television broadcasts that include fictional or factual treatment of crime stimulate this biased perception of reality. The article discusses the significance of these findings for national and international developments in crime policy.
