New Trends Based on 4.0 Technologies for the Study of Juvenile Crime: A Bibliometric Study

The present study is directed towards identifying the new scientific trends based on 4.0 technologies for the study of juvenile crime in the Scopus database. For the development of this research, a descriptive and quantitative method is proposed, based on bibliometric tools that allow to effectively measure the scientific production of the variables juvenile crime and technology 4.0 within the Scopus database. This process then requires the approach of a search equation that covers the crucial elements of the study, resulting in the following command: (TITLE-ABS-KEY (“Youth in conflict with the law”) OR TITLE-ABS-KEY (“Juvenile delinquency”) OR TITLE-ABS-KEY ( youth AND crime) OR TITLE-ABS-KEY (underprivileged AND youth) AND TITLE-ABS-KEY (big AND data) OR TITLE-ABS-KEY (data AND mining) OR TITLE-ABS-KEY (4.0) OR TITLE-ABS-KEY (intelligent AND systems) OR TITLE-ABS-KEY (machine AND learning) OR TITLE-ABS-KEY (artificial AND intelligence) OR TITLE-ABS-KEY (iot) OR TITLE-ABS-KEY (“internet of things”)). From an initial search, a total of 85 documents published between 2011 and 2023 are observed, of which more than 58,8% have been submitted from 2020 to date. The leaders in terms of publication in the area are University of Pittsburgh and King Khalid University with five publications each.
