More about the book
Focusing on a comprehensive analysis of the second International Self-Report Delinquency study, this book examines data from approximately 67,000 middle school students across 31 countries. It highlights the experiences of migrant youth and explores victimization patterns, including bullying and theft. The study reveals both country-specific differences and cross-national similarities in delinquency and substance use. Theoretical perspectives on social control and responses to crime are tested, while the methodology section addresses challenges in comparative research. This resource is valuable for students and scholars across multiple disciplines.
