Abstract
A great deal of youth crime is committed in groups, which has been proven empirically for quite some time now. Nevertheless, the group aspect is still paid relatively little attention by the criminal justice system and in the field of criminology. This may be based on the fact that group behavior is more difficult to describe than the nature and characteristics of individual persons.
This is the summary from a longer report by the authors, Group Delinquency in the Netherlands, published by the Ministry of Justice, 1998.
