The aim of this chapter is to explore research findings on juvenile delinquency. It starts with a brief description of what delinquency is considered to be and the costs involved for society. It then focuses on the risk processes implicated in the development of a delinquent path, looking at the heterogeneity that characterizes delinquent behavior and the offending population. Why do some individuals offend and others not? Why do some individuals persist in their offending along their life-course and others not?
