A global perspective on young people as offenders and victims: first results from the ISRD3 study

This title presents the first major release of findings from the Third International Self-Report Delinquency Study (ISRD3).

ISRD is a major international research collaboration that now covers some 35 countries.

It surveys young people aged 12 to 16 in their schools, asking about their experience of crime - both as offenders and as victims - and about their attitudes to crime and justice and about their home and school life.

ISRD1 was carried out in 1991-1992 and ISRD2 in 2006-2008.

ISRD findings presented here cover the 27 ISRD3 countries for which data are already available, with a total sample approaching 63,000 young people.

For most of these countries, the samples are drawn from two major cities.

This volume provides key findings on self-reported offending and on victimisation.
