“…The major cross-national comparative study of offending is the International Self-Report Delinquency Study. The first version of this was based on 13 countries (Junger-Tas et al , 2003), while the second version was based on 31 countries (Junger-Tas et al , 2012) and the third version was based on 35 countries up to 2019, including China (Marshall and Steketee, 2019). However, existing publications based on the third version (Binik et al , 2019; Manzoni and Schwarzenegger, 2019) do not seem to present any data on China.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare self-reported antisocial (SRA) behaviour of 10-year-old boys in China (in Zhuhai) and the USA (in Pittsburgh). Design/methodology/approach In Pittsburgh, 868 boys were given a SRA behaviour questionnaire in 1987–1988. In Zhuhai, 1,154 boys were given the same questionnaire in 2017. Findings The prevalence of 23 acts in the two countries was significantly correlated (r = 0.69), showing that the acts that were admitted by most boys in one country also tended to be admitted by most boys in the other country. Also, the mean prevalence in the two countries was very similar, at about 13%. However, several acts (e.g. stealing) were more prevalent in Zhuhai, while violent acts were more prevalent in Pittsburgh. The frequencies of the acts in the two countries were also significantly correlated (r = 0.51), although frequency was usually greater in Pittsburgh. Research limitations/implications While most theories and research in criminology and psychology are based on Western industrialised countries, it is important to carry out more cross-cultural comparisons of antisocial behaviour in other countries. These results show encouraging generalizability and replicability, despite differences in time and place. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study presents the first comparison of age-matched Chinese and American children on the prevalence and frequency of specific antisocial acts.

“…The existence of a significant correlation between substance abuse and juvenile delinquency has been demonstrated by numerous studies [2]. According to Belenko and Logan [3] 70% of young people undergoing judicial proceedings have used substances at some time, and as many as 78% have recently consumed alcohol or drugs [4].…”

The paper at hand aims at exploring whether engagement with the penal judicial system can affect drug using adolescents' decision to seek treatment, by studying the relative views and beliefs of their parents. The main research questions are concerned with the parents' beliefs about the effect of the judicial institutions (e.g. police, prosecutors, judges, juvenile probation officers) and the enforcement of reformative -treatment measures on motivating youths. A Likert-based scale was used as the main data collection tool, as it was considered most suitable with respect to the study's goals, research questions and theoretical grounding. Data were descriptively analysed using the SPSS software, looking into the frequency distributions and the correlation matrices of the variables of interest. Results show that all parents consider the effect of the judicial institutions' involvement on the motivation of the juvenile addicted offenders as very significant. According to the participants' responses, intense policing, the involvement of the juvenile prosecutors and probation officers, the application of a personalized intervention model, the enforcement of reformative measures and the referral -by the judicial authorities -to a rehabilitation program, can all have a decisive effect on an adolescent's decision to discontinue drug use.
