Adolescent Victimization and Offending: Empirical and Theoretical Insights from the International Self-Report Delinquency (ISRD) project

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

This panel presents results from the third and fourth waves of the International Self-Report Delinquency project, an ongoing international collaborative study of victimization and offending among adolescents. The papers in the panel address a variety of research questions, ranging from describing the prevalence and context of victimization in, respectively Lithuania and Poland, comparing the correlates of offending and the role of Asian ethnicity in the US and the UK, to explaining violent victimization using routine activities, stress and social support theories using ISRD3 data from 33 countries.
