JUVENILE DELINQUENCY IN THE BALKANS - REANA BEZ...

This volume provides a first comprehensive account of the prevalence and incidence of juvenile
crime in the Balkans  based on self-reports in youth populations of five countries of the
region: Bosnia and Herzegovina  Croatia  Kosovo  North Macedonia  and Serbia. The analyses
focus on differences and common characteristics among the five country samples  involving a
total of 8 460 respondents. Based on these findings  further analyses are centered on
indicators that might impact the development of juvenile crime. In general  this study is
focused on theory-testing and the search for mechanisms that explain juvenile crime in the
region. The main theory that was tested is the social control theory. The study presents
important empirical evidence for establishing  developing and evaluating prevention programmes
which are an important component of rational  evidence-based crime policies in the Balkans.
