Sažetak
This paper describes construction and psychometric characteristics of the Youth self-reported delinquency and risk behaviors questionnaire (SRDP-2007). Participants were 1422 adolescents from Osijek and Zagreb (866 females and 556 males). The respondents had a mean age of 16.07 years (SD = 1.49 years, range 13 to 19 years). The final form of the questionnaire comprises 42 items which are saturated by seven theoretically predictable factors: (1) Misdemeanor and minor delinquent behaviors, (2) Undesirable normative behaviors, (3) Risky sexual behaviors, (4) Drug abuse, (5) Violence in close relationships, (6) Serous delinquency - theft, burglary and robbery, and (7) Suicidal and self-aggressive behaviors. These factors have low to moderate positive intercorrelations, and satisfactory internal consistencies. In order to examine the validity of the obtained measures of delinquent and risk behaviors, correlations with the police and/or juvenile judge contacts and school success at the end of the previous school year were calculated. As expected, youth who reported having had contact with either the police or juvenile judge and ones who repeated a grade in school had the highest self-reported delinquency and risk behavior.
