Abstract

[This introductory chapter presents a brief background to the third round of the International Self-Report Delinquency Study (ISRD3), an internationally collaborative study of delinquency among 7th, 8th, and 9th graders. The three core objectives of the ISRD are: (1) to measure the prevalence and incidence of offending and victimization; (2) to test theories about correlates of offending and victimization; and (3) to develop policy-relevant recommendations. It briefly discusses the first pioneering efforts of ISRD1 (1991–1992), the efforts of ISRD2 (2006–2008) to further maximize standardization and to extend the number of participating countries, and the inclusion of additional measures and countries by ISRD3 (2012–present). It provides the context for the presentation of the first results of the emerging international dataset consisting of survey results in 27 countries (n = 62,636).]
