International Collaborative Research on Youthful Misbehavior

自七十年代初以来，人们对使用 自我报告法作为一种手段，获得措施，少年 行为不端 自我报告的方法现在已经得到广泛的使用 在美国和国外的研究人员中。 期间 1988年北约犯罪学自我报告方法讲习班 研究，发展大规模国际自助的想法， 提出了报告拖欠项目。 领导 来自15个国家的研究人员研究了如何开发一种 衡量违法行为适当的跨国工具。 后 一些试点测试，全面的研究正在展开， 荷兰、德国、法国、意大利、瑞典、瑞士、北 爱尔兰、英国、加拿大和美国。 该项目是美国国际自- 报告拖欠项目。 ISRDP的目标是（1） 检查跨国变异的模式相关的 青少年自我报告的不当行为和（2）获得措施 的相对排名顺序的跨国变异性， 不同类型的青少年不良行为的流行。 数据将 从中西部的城市社区收集，使用概率 对1,000名14至21岁的年轻人进行了抽样调查。 的 研究人员将与ISRDP的其他参与者合作 对调查结果的分析。 在设计、数据收集和 对自我报告的违法行为的数据分析将提供 需要刺激我们对真理的理解 现代工业社会中青少年犯罪的性质和程度。 参与这项独特的研究奋进将使进一步 探讨跨国收集的可行性 使用标准化问卷的可比自我报告数据， 将允许测试的普遍性的理论 关于犯罪相关性的主张， 不同的文化

Since the early seventies there has been growing interest in using the self-report method as a means of obtaining measures of juvenile misbehavior. The self-report method has now gained widespread use among researchers, both in the United States and abroad. During a 1988 Nato Workshop on Self-Report Methodology in Criminological Research, the idea of developing a large-scale International Self- Report Delinquency Project (ISRDP) was proposed. Leading researchers from fifteen countries examined how to develop a suitable cross-national instrument to measure delinquency. After some pilot tests, full studies are now being launched in the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, North Ireland, United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. This project is the United States part of the International Self- Report Delinquency Project. The objectives of the ISRDP are (1) to examine cross-national variability in patterns of correlates of self-reported misbehavior among youth and (2) to obtain measures of cross-national variability in the relative rank ordering of the prevalence of different types of youthful misbehavior. Data will be collected from a midwestern, urban community using a probability sample of 1,000 youth between the ages of 14 and 21. The researchers will collaborate with other participants in the ISRDP on the analysis of the findings. International collaboration on the design, data collection, and data analysis of self-reported delinquency will provide a much needed stimulus to the advancement of our understanding of the true nature and extent of youthful crime in modern industrial societies. Participation in this unique research endeavor will allow further exploration of the feasibility of collecting cross-nationally comparable self-report data using a standardized questionnaire and will permit testing of the generalizability of theoretical propositions regarding the correlates of delinquency across different cultures.
