International
Self-Report
Delinquency Study
Two Primary Objectives of the ISRD Study:
To observe and compare differences, similarities, and trends in offending and victimization between countries
To explore and test theoretical issues related to juvenile delinquency and victimization, while maintaining relevance for policy purposes.
Participating Countries
Initially, the primary focus has been on Europe, but now the study includes countries all across the globe.
Data for the ISRD study were first collected in 1992-1993 among 13 countries (ISRD1), and then between 2005 and 2007 in 31 countries (ISRD2). The third data collection sweep (ISRD3) took place in 36 countries, and data has been collected in about 35 countries for ISRD4.
Data
The ISRD3 dataset is now finalized and freely available for researchers at the Harvard Dataverse.
The data for ISRD2 are now freely available for download for researchers at participating institutions on the ICPSR (Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research) website, including all pertinent documentation on the questionnaire and sampling procedures: ISRD2 at ICPSR.

Methodology and Sample
The project uses a common research protocol, which standardizes questionnaire content and administration, and prescribes comparable sampling procedures in participating countries. Over the different data collection periods, some adjustments were made in the research protocol. For ISRD4, we focus on 13 to 17 year old students, with a target sample size for each national team of a representative sample of 1,800 school students, collected in two cities. The self-report questionnaire has been administered online within the classroom setting, supervised by an external data collector. Some national teams also gathered a supplemental national sample of 16 and 17 year-olds recruited via the internet, using an abbreviated form of the standard ISRD4 questionnaire.
