Self-report Delinquency in a Post-Soviet Context

There is now a lot of research about youth delinquency and factors associated with it in Western Societies. But what about other parts of the world? Do findings from studies in the West hold elsewhere?

 
Triin Edovald, a post-doctoral Researcher at Dartington, looks at this issue in her new book 'Self-report Delinquency in a Post-Soviet Context' (Lambert Academic Publishing, 2011).
 
Drawing on a survey of over 1500 Estonian youth, she describes the relationship between the nature and extent of delinquency and individual, family, peer and neighbourhood risk factors.
 
The study has important implications for understanding the extent to which findings from studies in the West apply in other contexts.
