对于描述轻微犯罪事件的四个小插曲，警察表示他们是否会逮捕，并对四个警务理想在证明他们的决定合理性方面的重要性进行了排名。这些理想是执法、维护和平、遵守程序，以及评估主角是否承担责任。虽然总是需要逮捕，但总体的逮捕率是56%，只有10%的警官总是表示要逮捕。在证明逮捕的正当性方面，执法部门只有31%的情况排在第一位。在逮捕和不逮捕的情况下，警官们使用两种理想的组合来证明他们66%的行为是合理的：法律程序与和平程序。因此，官员似乎使用两种认知图式中的一种来评估每一起事件，以行使他们的自由裁量权。
For four vignettes that described minor criminal incidents, police officers indicated whether they would make an arrest and ranked the importance of four policing ideals in justifying their decision. These ideals were law enforcement, peace maintenance, procedural compliance, and assessing whether the protagonist accepted responsibility. Although an arrest was always warranted, the overall arrest ratewas 56%, and only10% of the officers always indicated an arrest. In justifying an arrest, law enforcement was ranked first on only 31% of occasions. Across arrests and nonarrests, the officers justified 66% of their actions using two combinations of ideals: lawprocedure and peace-procedure. Hence, the officers appeared to exercise their discretionary powers using one of two cognitive schemas to appraise each incident.
