| Summary: | According to public opinion, juvenile delinquency has undergone an increase at the international level during the last decades. Besides, it has changed during this period also: youngsters are more violent; there is higher probability of crimes committed by young females; and desistence does not come until the end of adolescence. Public opinion has echoed these criminological documented changes making them a source of social and political concern in western countries, Spain included. This perception about juvenile delinquency has cough on among Spanish society and media. But, the real knowledge about the evolution and trends of this type of youth behaviour is poor and partial in Spain. This study aims to describe the juvenile antisocial and criminal behaviour’s evolution from 1992 to 2006, through two different and complementary kinds of data: self report data and official data. Results show a stable trend, with small highs and lows, along this period. |
