The effect of juvenile System Processing on Subsequent Delinquent and Criminal Behavior: A Cross-National Study

Abstract

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.
