The seven journals of this special issue focus on different aspects of Swedish criminology.
Abstract
The first journal reports findings from a 1982 crime survey of the Stockholm project, the only major ecological crime project ongoing in Sweden. The second utilizes sociometrics in a study of juvenile networks in a medium-sized city; the third studies 172 offenders and their victims to determine whether their relationships are symmetric or asymmetric. The fourth, fifth, and sixth journals report findings from Project Metropolitan, which studies a 1953 Greater Stockholm birth cohort. The fourth discusses age-offending relationships, by sex and social class. The fifth studies continuity in offending, in its totality and by sex; the sixth focuses on female delinquents and the extent to which differences in social bonding can explain their delinquency. The seventh suggests a method for estimating the detection rate and presents empirical estimates for drunken driving, residential burglary, and assault between strangers. Tables, figures, and references. See NCJ 124606-124612 for individual papers. (Author abstract modified)
