Recidivism of convicted offendersA nationwide longitudinal analysis based on data from the german federal register of criminal records

国家再罪研究是分析刑事制裁预防效力的重要手段。它们也为研究累犯条件的科学研究带来了好处。在资源和数据保护方面，对特殊罪犯和犯罪群体的科学研究可以参考这一综合数据库中的基本比率。全国范围的做法收集了100万起案件的数据，其优势是即使为罕见的犯罪者群体(如性犯罪者和被判处终身监禁的人)也提供了足够的统计基础。根据联邦犯罪记录登记处的数据，从犯罪、制裁、前科、年龄、性别和国籍等方面收集和分析了德国所有刑事制裁的相关信息。在最近的全国性再定罪研究的基础上，计划进行两波数据收集；它们应该提供关于2013年和2016年在三到六年内被判刑或释放的罪犯的再定罪信息。关于以前的数据收集，可以观察2004年、2007年和2010年被判刑或释放的罪犯的犯罪历史，观察时间分别为6年、9年、12年或15年。特别是在刑事司法对策方面，这一方面将使人们能够对犯罪事业的长期发展有新的科学认识。由于这项研究的特殊设计，可以通过在联邦登记册上的删除来观察长时间而不会造成损失。因此，所申请的项目旨在：(A)目前参考年份2013和2016年的基本利率，(B)考虑到12年或15年的观察，关于犯罪职业的新科学知识，以及(C)为更广泛的科学界建立对这些数据的个人访问。该项目是由Hans-Jörg Albrecht教授(MPI für osländises and International ales Strafrecht)、Jörg-Martin Jehle教授(Juristische Fakultät，Sität Göttingen)和Matthias Schumann教授(Wirschaftswisenschaftlhe Fakultät，Wirtias Schumann教授)共同申请的哥廷根大学)。

National reconviction studies are an important means for analyzing the preventive effectivity of penal sanctions. They generate benefits for scientific research studying the conditions of recidivism as well. In terms of resources and data protection scientific studies of special offender and offence groups could refer to base rates from this comprehensive data pool. The nationwide approach collects data for one million of cases and offers the advantage of providing a sufficient statistical base even for rare offender groups (such as sexual offenders and persons sentenced to a lifelong imprisonment). Based on data from the federal register of criminal records reconviction related information for all criminal sanctions in Germany are collected and analyzed in terms of offence, sanction, previous convictions, age, gender and nationality. Built upon recent nationwide reconviction studies two waves of data collection are planned; they should provide information on the reconvictions of offenders who were sentenced or released in 2013 and 2016 within a three or six years period. In connection with former data collections the criminal history of offenders who were sentenced or released in 2004, 2007 and 2010 can be observed for a 6, 9, 12 or 15 years period. Especially this dimension will enable new scientific knowledge about the long-term development of criminal careers in terms of criminal justice responses. Because of the specific design of the study long periods can be observed without losses through deletions in the federal register.The project applied for therefore aims at:(a) present base rates for the reference years 2013 and 2016 and(b) new scientific knowledge about criminal careers taking into account 12 or 15 years of observation and(c) creating an individual access to these data for the wider scientific community.This project is together applied for by Prof. Dr. Hans-Jörg Albrecht (MPI für ausländisches und internationales Strafrecht), Prof. Dr. Jörg-Martin Jehle (Juristische Fakultät, Universität Göttingen) and Prof. Dr. Matthias Schumann (Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, Universität Göttingen).
