Abstract

The authors search for specific
characteristics of rural juvenile
delinquency in the Varaždin area on a
sample of 799 children and minors,
reported for crime to the state attorney’s
office between 1990 and 1994. They
especially examine the sex and age of the
delinquents and some characteristics of
their criminal activities - whether they had
accomplices, the type and number of
crimes committed, previous crimes and
previous punishment.
The starting hypothesis was that rural
juvenile delinquency is becoming
increasingly similar to the urban type.
The main research results mostly confirm
this.
