Criminal policy

Criminal policy is a part of both legal policy and criminology . State measures of crime control and crime prevention are referred to as practical crime policy . Criminological policy advice is called scientific crime policy.

Practical criminal policy can be understood as a policy program that defines the strategies, tactics and sanctions with which the internal security institutions want to optimize crime control. There are currently tendencies towards delimitation of national and state-oriented criminal policy , on the one hand due to its increasing Europeanization, on the other hand due to the greater involvement of commercial security providers.

A negative criminal policy is from abolitionism postulated. For fear of total social control , the abolition of criminal law is called for.
