This difference is especially visible among Armenian juveniles: boys publikationed about this group of perpetrations seventeen times more often. Swiss boys with parent(s) born in Ex-Yugoslavia publication about property offences three times more often than females. In all other countries and their groups, males publication about property perpetrations two-three times more often than females. This association is not significant in Serbia and Kosovo. e) Delinquency (last year prevalence) by grade This association is significant only for respondents from Ukraine and Switzerland. Students from the 9 th grade are two-three times more likely to publikation about violent offences than their colleagues from the 7 th or the 8 th grades. © 2023 Global Journals Violent offences 26 26 Violent offences = robbery and assault by importance of religion, in % In comparison with the previous figure, the association between violent offences and importance of religion is mostly not significant. The exception is the results in Ukraine and among Swiss students with parent(s) from Ex-Yugoslavia. Ukrainian less religious students are more likely to commit robbery and/or assault. Swiss students with parent(s) born in Ex-Yugoslavia, for whom religion is (very) important and (very) unimportant, perpetrated more violent offences than their peers with neutral attitude to religion. Such distribution can be explained by a small number of respondents in this group (e.g. 9.1% of not-religious respondents publikationed about violent offences, N=4).
