Effects of juvenile justice interventions in Germany and England. A comparative analysis with German and English longitudinal data

来自德国（现代城市犯罪（CrimoC），明斯特大学和比勒菲尔德大学）和英国（彼得堡青少年和青年发展研究（PADS+），剑桥大学）的两个小组研究的数据将用于分析正式控制措施对青少年和年轻人自我报告和正式登记的犯罪的影响。由于英国的少年司法制度比德国的少年司法制度更具惩罚性，因此两种制度都适合进行比较分析。这一比较将通过研究他们的中介通过中观结构变量（如社会关系），如标签理论假设分析犯罪增强效应。另外，根据威慑理论或由于社会康复假设的犯罪减少效果也将进行调查。这项研究，特别是由于其比较，将为两国的立法和法律适用提供重要的见解。

The data of two panel studies from Germany (Crime in the modern city (CrimoC), Universities of Muenster and Bielefeld) and England (Peterborough Adolescent and Young Adult Development Study (PADS+), University of Cambridge) will be used to analyse the effects of measures of formal control on the self-reported as well as officially registered delinquency of juveniles and young adults. As the English juvenile justice system is more punitive than the German juvenile justice system, both systems are suited for a comparative analysis. This comparison will analyse delinquency enhancing effects by studying their mediation through meso-structural variables (such as social bonds) as assumed in labeling theory. Alternatively delinquency reducing effects as assumed either by deterrence theory or due to social rehabilitation will be investigated as well. The study will, in particular because of its comparativeness, offer important insights for legislation and the application of laws in both countries.
