Abstract

Die mediale Berichterstattung zur Polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik (PKS) kulminiert nach der Veröffentlichung der kommunalen und Landesstatistiken im Frühjahr jeden Jahres mit der Veröffentlichung der bundesweiten Kriminalstatistik. Die Versuche der Sicherheitsbehörden (konkret des Bundeskriminalamts, das die Statistik auf Bundesebene bündelt), die Erwartungen und Deutungsspielräume der PKS aus methodischen Gründen einzugrenzen, laufen dabei jedoch regelmäßig bereits im Rahmen der Erstpräsentation ins Leere. Wir sehen insbesondere beim Fokus auf die bloße Kennzahl „Straftaten pro 100.000 Bewohner“ zwei zentrale Probleme, auf die im Folgenden eingegangen werden soll: Die problematische statistische Basis der PKS und ihrer Alternativen sowie der gleichwertige Eingang unterschiedlichster Kriminalitätsformen in die Kennzahl – allenthalben werden Häufigkeiten von Mord und Totschlag gesondert berücksichtigt.
