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). CONTENTS: Kury, Helmut & Shea, Evelyn
