© 2023 Global Journals Volume XXIII Issue II Version I 45 ( ) Global Journal of Human Social Science - Year 2023 C Self-reporting of youth delinquency in the Balkans and beyond: Results of the ISRD3 International Self-Reporting Study of Delinquency in the Context of Violence, Victimization, and Substance Abuse in Comparative Aspects Serbia • The percentage of graffiti, shoplifting, assault and theft is also among the highest. There is no juvenile who have committed burglary (lyp) among out respondents. The minor offences (index) were reported in Serbia more often than in the other countries. The level of property offences is the second highest than in Switzerland. Ukraine • This is the second post-soviet country that participated in ISRD-3. In comparison with Armenia, Ukraine took part in this study for the first time. Juveniles from this country, together with some others, reported relatively often about graffiti. The prevalence of shoplifting and group fight is relatively high; the prevalence of caring weapon is the highest, animal cruelty is the lowest. Ukraine has the second highest prevalence of minor, violent and property perpetrations, as well as alcohol consumption (ltp), and the highest level of cannabis use (ltp). Swiss students with parents from Ex-Yugoslavia and Ex- Yugoslavian country cluster. • Respondents from Ex-Yugoslavia (cluster) and Swiss students with parent(s) born in Ex-Yugoslavia reported about graffiti more often than their peers in Switzerland on the national level. We suggest that it is the part of the habits that immanent the behaviour in some countries and it is present in Swiss families with parent(s) born in Ex-Yugoslavia. • In contrast to graffiti, vandalism is not immanent much to the taken Ex-Yugoslavian countries, but present in Swiss families with parent(s) born in Ex- Yugoslavia. We suggest that it can be explained by the difficulties of socialization in Switzerland. There is a similar distribution of caring weapon, group fight and animal cruelty, robbery and assault. Switzerland • Swiss juveniles on the national level reported a lower prevalence of minor offences than their Swiss peers with parents born in Ex-Yugoslavia, and a higher prevalence than their peers in the Ex- Yugoslavian country cluster. The only exception is graffiti. This offence was reported by Ex-Yugoslavian respondents twice more often than by their Swiss students on the national level. • Juveniles from Switzerland reported about violent offences 2-3 times more often than juveniles in Ex- Yugoslavian countries. Serious property offences were reported differently in comparison with the selected countries and their groups. For instance, bicycle theft was perpetrated by Swiss juveniles nine times more often than by their peers in Ex- Yugoslavia. It can be explained by more developed culture of bicycle use in Switzerland than in the taken country cluster. Theft also was reported almost four times more often. • The index of minor offences was reported by Swiss juveniles almost similarly to Swiss students with parents from Ex-Yugoslavia and a bit higher than juveniles from Ex-Yugoslavia. Juveniles from Switzerland reported the highest percentage of respondents who committed a violent offence. It is twice higher than their Ex-Yugoslavian peers. Similar results are with property offences. Swiss juveniles reported one of the highest prevalences of these perpetrations, four times higher than in all Ex- Yugoslavian countries.
