What are some conclusions that can be drawn from self-reporting surveys?

What will be an ideal response?


Delinquency rates are considerably lower in police reports and court data than in self-report studies. Data from self-report studies show smaller differences in crime commission based on race, ethnic origin, and gender than do data from official reports. Juveniles in the lower and middle classes have a high level of delinquency. Juveniles commit a higher number of serious crimes than what is reported by law enforcement.
