Zusammenfassung

In dieser Studie sollen die Einflüsse “rechtlicher” und “ausserrechtlicher” Variablen auf polizeiliches Sanktionsverhalten untersucht werden. Es geht dabei um die Frage, aufgrund welcher Maßstäbe die Londoner Polizei darüber entscheidet,:ob sie einen jugendlichen Delinquenten lediglich verwarnt oder ob sie ein Anklageverfahren beim Jugendgericht (juvenile court) gegen ihn einleitet. Um dieser Fragestellung nachgehen zu können, wurden solche Entscheidungen auf der Grundlage von insgesamt 1146 Fällen, die den Jugendpolizeistellen (juvenile bureau) in 5 Bezirken des London Metropolitan Police Districts gemeldet wurden, mit Methoden multivariater Datenanalyse geprüft. Dabei konnte festgestellt werden, daß zwar rechtliche Gesichtspunkte (wie z.B. Vorstrafe und Art des Delikts) die Hauptrolle innerhalb des polizeilichen Entscheidungsprozesses für eine mögliche Verwarnung Jugendlicher spielen, daß aber auch einige “außerrechtliche” Variablen (wie z.B. Alter, Wohngebiet, ethnische Zugehörigkeit und elterliche Aufsicht) einen durchaus signifikanten Einfluß auf jenes Entscheidungsverhalten ausüben.
