    Stufenvollzug und Bonussysteme im Jugendstrafvollzug : Entwicklung, Praxis und Rahmenbedingungen
    The bonus system was recently introduced as an educational concept into the German youth prison system. The thesis traces the concept back to Alexander Maconochie's mark system. It then researches its translation into the behavioral psychologists' token economy. The use of the idea in Germany is pursued in educational and legal thinking. The thesis culminates in an empirical investigation of bonus systems in German youth prisons, in which two versions of the idea are practiced. As a result of her studies, the author concludes by naming four conditions for making a bonus system effective.

    "Evidence-based Crime Prevention" - Bedeutung, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer auf experimentelle Forschung gestützten Kriminalpräventionspolitik
    Experimental evaluations in crime prevention are analyzed. While the idea of "testing sanctions like pills" is taken from the medical arena, medical ethics have to be considered for criminology as well. The most important difference is though, medical interventions are usually designed to help the individual, criminal sanctions are in the first place for the benefit of others. In the discourse on medical research involving prisoners, state-induced pain of sanctions is often mistaken for an incurable disease. It is not acceptable to justify experimentation in the field of criminal law by expecting improvement of future policy. Looking at important experimental studies in the U.S.,the concept of 'evidence-based crime prevention' does not work. The law has no systematic way of including empirical evidence. This may not even be desirable, because the idea of effective prevention has no build-in humanism. To stuck to the status quo of intuitive crime prevention is unacceptable as well.
