dc.description.abstractThis report provides information about youth victimization, crime and delinquency in Alberta. In-school surveys of youth aged 12 to 18 years living in selected larger cities, smaller cities and towns and rural areas were conducted in 1999. The findings presented in this report describe students' perceptions of youth crime and personal safety, victimization experiences occurring while at school and outside of school over the past year, lifetime and past year involvement in delinquent behaviours, prevalence of weapon possession at school, and contact with the police and criminal justice system. The survey instrument was designed to collect data on variables related to major social and psychological environmental factors known to be associated with youth victimization and delinquency using a self-report method. Besides measures of prevalence of youth victimization and delinquency, additional information was gathered to describe the context of the experience for the most serious incidents that occurred over the past year. While findings in this report include all of the 2,001 respondents, two additional reports have been prepared in order to provide more in depth analyses of Calgary and of Edmonton students. These reports are titled: The Extent of Youth Victimization, Crime and Delinquency in Alberta, 1999: Summary of Calgary Findings; and The Extent of Youth Victimization, Crime and Delinquency in Alberta, 1999: Summary of Edmonton Findings.en
