This study examines similarities and differences between juvenile delinquents of self-reported cyber-enabled offenses, cyber-dependent offenses, and offline offenses.

This study examines similarities and differences between juvenile delinquents of self-reported cyber-enabled offenses, cyber-dependent offenses, and offline offenses. The study builds on past studies by examining a broad range of online and offline offenses among a national probability sample of Dutch juveniles aged 12-17 years old. Results show that juveniles who report both offline and online offenses have the most high-risk profile. Within the group online delinquents, juveniles who commit both cyber-dependent and cyber-enabled offenses have the highest risk profile. The results further indicate that cyber-dependent delinquents are a distinct group from online delinquents.
