Jiri Burianek from the Charles University in Prague, Bojan Dekleva from the University of Ljubljana, Andreas Karpadis from
the University of Cyprus, Beata Gruszczyńska from the Warsaw University & Institute of Justice of Poland, Vidas Kalpokas from
the Law Institute of Lithuania, Anna Markina from the Uni-versity of Tartu and Majone Steketee and Marit Moll from the Verwey-Jonker
Institute) (The study has been financially supported by the European Coomunity-Daphne-2 Programme to Combat Violence against
Children, Young People and Women.). Five former eastern European countries; the Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland,
Slovenia and Cyprus, a southern European country and former British colony in the eastern Mediterranean. Often little is known
about the prevalence of youth delinquency in these countries, let alone in a trans-national comparison. In this study we examined
the variability in patterns of self-reported youth delinquency behaviour and the relative ranking of the prevalence of different
types of juvenile delinquency. We also tested whether a number of sociological and criminological theories on prevalence and
occurrence of youth delinquency are valid in these six countries. |
