Influence of Eyewitness Memory Factors on Plea Bargaining Decisions by Prosecution and Defense Attorneys in California, 2010-2011

The purpose of the study was to assess how the strength of eyewitness evidence affects plea bargaining decisions by prosecutors and defense attorneys. Surveys were administered to 93 defense attorneys and 46 prosecutors from matched counties in California. On the questionnaire, each participant was asked four background questions and read four versions of a crime scenario in which two specific eyewitness factors -- (a) same- versus cross-race identification and (b) prior contact or not -- were experimentally manipulated in a factorial design. The scenarios described a store robbery in which identification by one eyewitness was the only evidence against the defendant. After reading each scenario, attorneys were asked to respond to five questions in light of the facts presented. The study contains 28 variables including background data on the study participants and responses to questions relating to four crime scenarios that differ in terms of the details of the eyewitness evidence.
Survey of Police Chiefs' and Data Analysts' Use of Data in Police Departments in the United States, 2004

This study surveyed police chiefs and data analysts in order to determine the use of data in police departments. The surveys were sent to 1,379 police agencies serving populations of at least 25,000. The survey sample for this study was selected from the 2000 Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey. All police agencies serving populations of at least 25,000 were selected from the LEMAS database for inclusion. Separate surveys were sent for completion by police chiefs and data analysts. Surveys were used to gather information on data sharing and integration efforts to identify the needs and capacities for data usage in local law enforcement agencies. The police chief surveys focused on five main areas of interest: use of data, personnel response to data collection, the collection and reporting of incident-based data, sharing data, and the providing of statistics to the community and media. Like the police chief surveys, the data analyst surveys focused on five main areas of interest: use of data, agency structures and resources, data for strategies, data sharing and outside assistance, and incident-based data. The final total of police chief surveys included in the study is 790, while 752 data analyst responses are included.
Consequences of Childhood Exposure to Intimate Partner Violence in Chicago, Illinois, 1994-2000

This study used data from the first two waves of the
 Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) to
 analyze the consequences of childhood exposure to intimate partner
 violence. The researcher for this study attempted to make four
 contributions: (1) provide theory driven research in the field of
 intimate partner violence, (2) do practical research, (3) strike a
 balance between the resolution of measurement problems and the
 examination of concrete outcomes, and (4) use high quality data and
 advanced statistical techniques to adjudicate between conflicting
 findings in existing literature. The nine data files used in this
 study were drawn from multiple imputed iterations using the
 Expectation-Maximization (E.M.) algorithm and data augmentation to
 address missing data. They included data from two waves of the PHDCN,
 with 4,955 records for each wave. The data included information for
 subjects aged 0 to 18 and covered the years 1994 to 2000. The
 researcher used various scales to measure domestic violence exposer,
 the impact of exposure on the child's cognitive functioning, the
 behavioral impact of exposure to domestic violence, anxiety, and the
 parent-child relationship. Data include the variables that the
 researcher used to study the effect of domestic violence exposure on
 not only externalizing, internalizing, and total behavior problems,
 and academic and cognitive ability, but also truancy, grade
 repetition, and drug use. This study also contains a selection of
 variables from several PHDCN studies including those pertaining to
 intimate partner violence, child abuse, juvenile delinquency, deviance
 of peers, alcohol use, primary caregiver involvement in the subject's
life, and demographics.
Community Crime Prevention and Intimate Violence in Chicago, 1995-1998  

This study sought to answer the question: If a woman is
 experiencing intimate partner violence, does the collective efficacy
 and community capacity of her neighborhood facilitate or erect
 barriers to her ability to escape violence, other things being equal?
 To address this question, longitudinal data on a sample of 210 abused
 women from the CHICAGO WOMEN'S HEALTH RISK STUDY, 1995-1998 (ICPSR
 3002) were combined with community context data for each woman's
 residential neighborhood taken from the Chicago Alternative Policing
 Strategy (CAPS) evaluation, LONGITUDINAL EVALUATION OF CHICAGO'S
 COMMUNITY POLICING PROGRAM, 1993-2000 (ICPSR 3335). The unit of
 analysis for the study is the individual abused woman (not the
 neighborhood). The study takes the point of view of a woman standing
 at a street address and looking around her. The characteristics of the
 small geographical area immediately surrounding her residential
 address form the community context for that woman. Researchers chose
 the police beat as the best definition of a woman's neighborhood,
 because it is the smallest Chicago area for which reliable and
 complete data are available. The characteristics of the woman's police
 beat then became the community context for each woman. The beat,
 district, and community area of the woman's address are
 present. Neighborhood-level variables include voter turnout
 percentage, organizational involvement, percentage of households on
 public aid, percentage of housing that was vacant, percentage of
 housing units owned, percentage of feminine poverty households,
 assault rate, and drug crime rate. Individual-level demographic
 variables include the race, ethnicity, age, marital status, income,
 and level of education of the woman and the abuser. Other
 individual-level variables include the Social Support Network (SSN)
 scale, language the interview was conducted in, Harass score, Power
 and Control score, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) diagnosis,
 other data pertaining to the respondent's emotional and physical
 health, and changes over the past year. Also included are details
 about the woman's household, such as whether she was homeless, the
 number of people living in the household and details about each
 person, the number of her children or other children in the household,
 details of any of her children not living in her household, and any
 changes in the household structure over the past year. Help-seeking in
 the past year includes whether the woman had sought medical care, had
 contacted the police, or had sought help from an agency or counselor,
 and whether she had an order of protection. Several variables reflect
 whether the woman left or tried to leave the relationship in the past
 year. Finally, the dataset includes summary variables about violent
 incidents in the past year (severity, recency, and frequency), and in
the follow-up period.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Youth Self Report, Wave 3, 2000-2002

The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods
 (PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families,
 schools, and neighborhoods affect child and adolescent development.
 One component of the PHDCN was the Longitudinal Cohort Study, which
 was a series of coordinated longitudinal studies that followed over
 6,000 randomly selected children, adolescents, and young adults, and
 their primary caregivers over time to examine the changing
 circumstances of their lives, as well as the personal characteristics,
 that might lead them toward or away from a variety of antisocial
 behaviors. Numerous measures were administered to respondents to
 gauge various aspects of human development, including individual
 differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. One of
 the measures that composed the Longitudinal Cohort Study was the Youth
 Self Report (YSR). The YSR protocol, a self-administered survey, was
 first developed by Thomas M. Achenbach and was derived from another
 widely-used standardized measure in child psychology, the Child
 Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The YSR was designed to assess the
 emotional and behavioral problems in adolescents (aged 11 to 18) in a
 standardized format. The PHDCN version of the YSR was administered to
 subjects belonging to Cohorts 6, 9, and 12 of the Longitudinal Cohort
 Study. It assessed internalizing (i.e., anxiety, depression, and
 overcontrolled) and externalizing (i.e., aggressive, hyperactivity,
 noncompliant, and undercontrolled) behaviors. Six sub-scale symptoms
 (Withdrawn, Somatic Complaints, Anxiety and Depression, Attention
 Problems, Aggressive Behavior, and Delinquent Behaviors) were also
 measured. The Wave 3 version of the YSR contains a reduced set of
 items compared to the Wave 1 version of the YSR PROJECT ON HUMAN
 DEVELOPMENT IN CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS (PHDCN): YOUTH SELF REPORT, WAVE
 1, 1994-1997 (ICPSR 13607). The Wave 3 version is closely related to

 the measures that composed the Longitudinal Cohort Study was the Young
 Adult Self Report (YASR). The YASR protocol was first developed by
 Thomas M. Achenbach. It has been a widely used measure for evaluating
 subjects between the ages of 18 and 30 with respect to their
 functioning in social relationships, level of mental, emotional and
 physical health, substance use and abuse, and their tendencies toward
 antisocial and criminal behavior. The Wave 3 PHDCN version of the
 Young Adult Self Report offered a thorough self-assessment of the
 respondents belonging to Cohorts 15 and 18 of the Longitudinal Cohort
 Study. The Wave 3 instrument featured a reduced version than was used
 in Wave 2 (PROJECT ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS
(PHDCN): YOUNG ADULT SELF REPORT, WAVE 2, 1997-2000 [ICPSR 13666]).

 measure was the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised
 (WISC-R), a general test of intelligence, which David Wechsler, the
 test's author, defined as "the global capacity of the individual to
 act purposefully, to think rationally, and to deal effectively with
 his environment." In keeping with this definition of intelligence as
 an aggregate of mental aptitudes or abilities, the WISC-R has
 traditionally consisted of 13 subtests divided into two parts, verbal
 and performance. For this study, the WISC-R included definitions of
words only. It was administered to Cohorts 3, 6, 9, and 12.

 Subjects were timed walking on a line six inches wide by six feet
 long. In the first trial, the subjects were asked to walk the line at
 a regular pace. For the second and third trials, the subjects were
asked to walk the line slowly.
