Sažetak
The purpose of this research was to study the gender differences in the relationship between several sociodemographic variables and delinquency with taking into account types of delinquency. Data were obtained during 1998, using a representative sample of Croatian secondary school students (N= 2823). Delinquency was measured by adapted version of Self Reported Delinquency Scale encompassed 36 specific behaviours which were categorized into six types ranging from deviant behaviour to serious crime. A series of analyses of variances were performed with gender and sociodemographic variables as factors. The results showed that the sociodemographic correlates of female delinquency are similar to that of male delinquency. Interpretations of few significant interactions revealed that the effects of some sociodemographic factors were mainly stronger in males than in females.
