Genderové rozdíly v míře delikvence a viktimizace mládeže: test emancipační teorie na mezinárodních datech
Název článku anglicky:
Gender differences in delinquency and victimization of youth: test of the emancipation theory on international data
Abstrakt:
This study analyzes the gender gap in delinquency and victimization of youth and
its development using data from two sweeps of the International Self-Report Delinquency
study. Besides a description of differences in gender gaps across European countries,
a series of hypotheses derived from the emancipation theory is tested. The results reveal
that the gender gap in delinquency is present almost in all countries, whereas in the case
of victimization, prevalence rates of boys and girl are often comparable. In addition, there
is a decrease in the size of the gender gap both in delinquency and victimization in almost
all countries during one decade which coincides with the increase in gender equality. In
general, findings are fairly supportive of the emancipation theory when countries are analyzed
separately; nevertheless, a comparative analysis employing the Gender Inequality
Index does not show any association between the level of inequality and the gender gap
across European countries.
