Abstract

The basic data in this research consist of a 40 per cent systematic sample of police contacts with juveniles aged six through seventeen in Madison, Wis., over a six-year period. Earlier research reports have described the distribution of police contacts, referrals for official action, and the distribution of individual delinquents according to social areas of the city. No attempt has previously been made to place the various types or patterns of delinquent behavior on an empirically derived scale or delinquency continuum.
