НЕВРЪСТНИТЕ РОМИ И БЪЛГАРИ В КОРЕКЦИОННИТЕ УЧЕБНИ ЗАВЕДЕНИЯ
UNDERAGE ROMA AND BULGARIANS INSIDE THE CORRECTIONAL BOARDING SCHOOLS

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses specific delinquency and deviance issues concerning Bulgaria’s adolescent and minor offenders. Through profiling, ethnic Bulgarian and ethnic Roma offenders in correctional institutions are compared for similarities and differences. Twelve socio-demographic traits are statistically analysed and interpreted to answer the question if there are significant differences between the two ethnic groups. Similarities outnumbered the differences which fact puts the two groups in analogous vulnerable situation in case there is a link between persecution and the social and demographic traits of persecuted underage offenders. Special attention is paid to offenders’ age, education, families, substance use and abuse, length of stay and previous institutionalisation.
