Abstract:In June 1984 the Home Office published a Consultative Document entitled Cautioning by the Police. This followed the deliberations of a working group set up to ‘recommend a basis for more consistent and effective police cautioning practice’. The research described in this article was commissioned by the Working Group on Cautioning to consider the discrepancy in police force cautioning rates and the extent to which it resulted from differences in force policy and pract

摘要:

Abstract:Little crime takes place on offshore oil and gas installations in the North Sea. ‘Pilfering’ from the companies is the most frequent crime; assaults are almost non‐existent. The reasons for this law abiding behaviour are examined. The attitude of the workers, the lack of alcohol, the lack of opportunities to commit crime, the likelihood of being caught and the severe sanctions imposed by the oil companies combine to discourage crime. It is concluded that a ‘control’ theory framework provides the best explanatory model. It is not overly positivistic and is consistent with both the fact that little crime occurs and the nature of t
