“…As has been shown, the impact of human rights standards cannot be denied. Most Central and East European countries were oriented to implement the standards of the European Prison Rules when reforming their prison laws (for example, Lithuania; see Sakalauskas, 2006), and, being members of the Council of Europe, they experienced a lot of visits by the CPT, which very often were unfavourable and demanded reforms, thus also supporting reformers within these countries. Finally, the jurisprudence of the ECtHR had a major impact in Russia and elsewhere by judging overcrowding to be inhuman and degrading punishment (see the famous case of Kalashnikov vs. Russia in 2002).…”

“… 13. Property offences up to damage valued at €114 in 2014 have been decriminalized; other recent law reforms concern the extension of diversionary measures (see Sakalauskas and Dünkel, 2017); however one cannot speak of a more lenient crime policy in Lithuania, because most reforms in recent years have increased penalties for certain crimes (see also Sakalauskas, 2015). …”

Prison population rates in many European countries have increased until the beginning of the 21st century. Prison overcrowding and questions around the ‘New Punitiveness’ have dominated the discourse. Recently a remarkable drop in prison population rates can be observed, in particular in Central and East European countries (for example, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, the Baltic states), but also in West European jurisdictions (the Netherlands, Germany and, in the last few years, also Spain). Explanations are not always easy and in most cases this is not the result of a strategic policy but more likely of a sharp decrease in (serious) crime rates. The paper discusses the developments in a European comparative perspective and explores the potentials for a further reduction in prison population rates.

Kurzfassung Im Aufsatz wird die Kriminologie in Litauen vorgestellt und die geschichtliche Entwicklung, die wichtigsten Durchbrüche, die Forschung, die Autoren und die Publikationen werden präsentiert. Die Schwerpunkte liegen bei den Themen, die für die kriminologische Forschung am relevantesten sind – Korruption, Jugendkriminalität, Kriminalpolitik und Strafvollzug. Litauen ist der einzige Baltische Staat, in dem Bachelor- und Masterstudiengänge in Kriminologie etabliert sind, in dem ein nationaler berufsorientierter Verein der Kriminologen gegründet wurde. Die Entwicklung der letzten Jahrzehnte der Kriminologie in Litauen zeigt eine gute Perspektive für die Zukunft und eröffnet breite Möglichkeiten für die internationale Zusammenarbeit.
