abstract="Propositions endemic to labeling theory, and variables particularly relevant to these propositions, are combined into a guiding paradigm. Components of this labeling paradigm are then tested in an experimentally controlled police diversion project in which juvenile offenders of mid-range seriousness are randomly assigned to release, community treatment, and court petition conditions. <br><br>RESULTS provide support for some labeling propositions but not others, and are seen as specifying some of the variables that delimit the policy implications of labeling theory.
