- This chapter presents an overview of European research on the transition between juvenile offending and adult crime that is relevant for policymakers, researchers and practitioners. First, we shall review relevant European longitudinal studies. Next, we present some major cross-sectional studies that provide information about important across Europe and the United States. A section on special offenders includes information on homicide, domestic violence, gangs, and the nexus between migration and crime. The next section on the evaluation of interventions emphasizes their effectiveness regarding juvenile offenders. In the final section, we look at Europe’s highly heterogeneous policy responses to young offenders, including age limits of juvenile penal laws, sentencing (including the use of custody and other sanctions), and drug and alcohol policies.
