When attitude questionnaires are translated from one language to another it is difficult to interpret responses for the purpose of cross cultural comparisons. This study attempts to compare attitudes of juvenile court officials in Vienna and Boston by rank ordering equivalent roles along various attitudinal dimensions. In Vienna, judges, police, state attorneys, and lay judges usually have a more "conservative" outlook than probation officers and youth officials, but these attitudes do not fall neatly into a punitive-permissive continuum. In both Vienna and Boston the structure of the system and the way officials perform their roles are related to attitudes, but it is not clear whether the performance of certain roles leads to the adoption of particular attitudes or holding certain attitudes leads to a search for specific roles
