Our empirical material was analyzed based on gender theories and the result showed that girls are under-privileged in this research area and in the practical work of crime prevention, although they, just like boys, do commit crimes. We also found indications that early crime prevention work should be expanded. Our informants pointed out schools and youth centres as potential areas for development of working with risk-behaviour and youth delinquency. It was showed that girls generally want to have more adults to talk to as a part of crime prevention work. Individ¬ual differences are, according to our informants, the most primary factor to consider when working with youth crime prevention. We have also discussed how gender is being created and maintained in society. Further on we have showed how it effect the crime prevention work. (Less)
