A systematic procedure for comparing the criminal statistics of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany is presented. The procedure was developed after (1) reviewing and translating applicable paragraphs of the Federal Republic of Germany's Penal Code and (2) reviewing both the formal and informal processes used in both countries for recording crime statistics. Subsequently, a detailed comparison of criminal statistics was made using this comparative procedure. | A systematic procedure for comparing the criminal statistics of the United States and the Federal Republic of Germany is presented.

Crime statistics are largely generated from three avenues—administrative data, surveys, and ethnographic studies. Administrative data are often referred to as the ‘official’ statistics as they are drawn most often from the records kept by state institutions. The first official statistics were published in France in 1827 (Coleman and Moynihan 1996). Self-report surveys are the other major source of crime data or statistics and involve interviewing perpetrators and victims of crime. | |||
