摘要

This study examined similarities and differences in juvenile justice systems at two sites in different countries (Denver, Colorado and Bremen, Germany) to determine the effects of distinct features of these systems on subsequent delinquency. In this way, the study might provide information about successful juvenile justice system practices. The project involved samples of high-risk subjects at the two sites. Differences between the two systems include a more lenient, diversion oriented system in Bremen and a more severe, punishment oriented system in Denver. In Bremen, arrest, commonly a ticket, can not legally occur until age 14 and juvenile law can be and commonly is applied to those aged 18-20. In Denver, the age of responsibility is 10 and adult processing begins at age 18. Also, in Bremen, during ages 14-17, dismissal and diversion from court account for over 90% of cases referred to the prosecutor, often through a letter to the offender. In Denver, offenders may be ticketed or taken into custody. Arrested offenders are most often referred to juvenile court and receive intermediate level sanctions. Confinement is very rare in Bremen, but used in roughly 10-20% of Denver cases.
