Previous research indicates the overrepresentation of girls in the category of status offences and their limited share of delinquent cases (Carr. et al., 2005; Dumortier, 2006; Sarri, 1983). Recent Belgian figures on the influx of juvenile justice cases at the level of the public prosecutor's department (year 2013) confirm this finding. In delinquent cases the involvement of boys concerns approximately 76 percentage whereas for girls it comes to only 22 percentage. Notwithstanding the rather limited amount of delinquent cases of girls, questions rise about their social background and judicial trajectory. Within our on-going research project, we analysed 120 closed juvenile court dossiers at two Belgian juvenile courts, consisting of 60 delinquent cases and 60 non - delinquent cases equally divided between boys and girls. In this paper, we specifically elaborate on the 30 delinquent cases of girls and reflect on the first results of the dossier analysis. We will discuss the judicial and social profile and compare these findings with existing national and international research. |
