Abstract
The concluding chapter discusses why this monograph limits itself to the presentation of methodological findings, on the one hand, and to descriptive findings about offending and victimization, on the other. That is, methodological and descriptive analysis are a necessary precursor to the sort of theory-testing that forms the central ambition of ISRD3. This final chapter offers a resumé of the findings, as well as a discussion of the potential of additional analyses of ISRD3 data, as well as plans for ISRD4.

Notes
- 1.
Like the first internationally comparative self-report crime survey, the Nordic Draftee Study (1961–1964), which compared four Nordic countries, and also the ISRD1 sweep (1991–1992) with European/American coverage.
- 2.
With that said, official homicide statistics are considered to be a valid indicator of crime, but in the ISRD3 age category their use is limited by the extremely low homicide rate among 12–16 year olds, both in regard to offending and victimization. However, comparison of country/city homicide rates and survey-based findings on violence could be explored in future studies.
