Abstract

Eine Vielzahl von Forschungsbeiträgen zur Quantifizierung der Präventivwirkung von Strafmaßnahmen haben gemeinsam, diese Abschreckungswirkung im Sinne der ökonomischen Theorie der Kriminalität zumindest einem der Faktoren Strafhöhe und/oder Strafwahrscheinlichkeit zuzusprechen. Inhaltlich zeigen sich jedoch zum Teil starke Abweichungen bei der Berücksichtigung anderer für die Kriminalität entscheidender Einflussgrößen, diese Unterschiede setzen sich in der eingesetzten quantitativen Methodik fort. Es stellt sich die Frage, inwieweit sich Divergenzen in den erzielten Resultaten durch die Heterogenität in den Forschungsansätzen dieser Arbeiten begründen lassen. In diesem Beitrag sollen die Grundzüge einer meta-analytischen Vorgehensweise dargestellt werden, die in der Lage ist, die Resultate unterschiedlicher Forschungsmethoden in einem Ansatz aufzunehmen und systematische Abhängigkeiten zwischen Forschungsdesign und Forschungsergebnis aufzudecken. Die Anwendung der entwickelten Methode zeigt, dass lediglich schwache Zusammenhänge zwischen sowohl inhaltlichen Konzepten als auch technischen Merkmalen und den Resultaten der jeweils verwendeten Forschungsmethode zu finden sind.
