Delinquent Behavior

Self-Report Delinquent Behavior measures the frequency of several kinds of criminal behavior in the past 12 months with items such as "Arrested by the police because of something you did.", "Broken into a building, house or store." or "Purposely hit or kicked someone on the street, in a pub or at school." This questionnaire is based on the international Self-Report Delinquency Study (ISRD; Junger-Tas et al., 1994)

Items and numbers of items used vary across measurement waves. In RADAR Old from Wave 5 to Wave 9, and RADAR Young from Wave 1 to Wave 9, 30 items were included. In RADAR Old Wave 13 and RADAR Young Wave 10, 47 items were included. More specific information about items can be found in the Codebooks.
