Abstract

Purpose: This study examines dynamics and extent of juvenile delinquency in Bosnia and Herzegovina as found in two rounds of ISRD research projects in the country. 

Design/methodology/approach: The current study relies on self-reported survey data from International Self-Report Delinquency Study 2 (ISRD2-BiH) and the International Self-Report Delinquency Study 3 (ISRD3-BiH). 

Findings: Results indicate changes in prevalence of property, violent and cyber-related delinquency.  Theoretical and practical implications stemming from these results are discussed.
