Strategic Approaches to Community Safety Initiative (SACSI) Research Partnership in Detroit, Michigan, 1999-2003

The Strategic Approaches to Community Safety Initiative
(SACSI), in Detroit, Michigan, involved a team of federal, state, and
local agencies that worked together to systematically address gun
violence in that city. The purpose of the SACSI project was to examine
the dynamics of gun violence and the manner in which such cases are
processed within the criminal justice system, and to evaluate two
SACSI gun violence interventions in Detroit's Eighth Precinct. The
first intervention, "Operation 8-Ball," was a warrant sweep aimed at
gun-involved offenders with outstanding warrants, who were residing in
the Eighth Precinct. Part 1, SACSI Monthly Gun Robberies Data,
contains the monthly totals for stranger gun robberies in three
Detroit precincts, collected to measure the impact of the "Operation
8-Ball" intensive warrant enforcement program conducted in late
September 2001. Part 1, contains six variables. The second strategy
for addressing gun violence adopted by the working group was a
gun-involved parolee supervision component entitled the Detroit SACSI
Parolee Initiative. Part 2, SACSI Monthly Contact for Parolees Data,
contains the monthly totals for a variety of parole contacts,
collected to measure the intensity of a supervision program
implemented for gun offenders, which commenced in July 2002. Part 2
also contains levels of parole violations in an intensive parole group
in the Eighth Precinct of Detroit. Part 2, contains 16 variables.
Characteristics of Arrestees at Risk for Co-Existing Substance Abuse and Mental Disorder in Cleveland, Ohio, 2003

The current study was conducted as a supplemental study to the Cleveland/Cuyahoga County Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) program in the second quarter of 2003 (April-June). A risk screening instrument was implemented to classify Cleveland/Cuyahoga County adult arrestees into four groups: arrestees at no risk for substance abuse or dependence or mental disorder; arrestees at risk for substance abuse or dependence with no risk for mental disorder; arrestees at risk for mental disorder with no risk for substance abuse or dependence; and arrestees at risk for both mental disorder and substance abuse or dependence. A total of 311 adult arrestees were interviewed and provided a urine sample submitted for testing. The dual risk screening instrument includes six mental disorder risk questions and six substance abuse risk questions.  The mental disorder risk questions include questions on having feelings or emotions that make it difficult to complete normal day to day activities, feeling hopeless or depressed, having thoughts of hurting oneself or committing suicide, and hearing or seeing things that others cannot hear or see. The substance abuse risk questions include questions on problems caused by drinking or drug use, arrests due to alcohol or drug use, time spent on thinking about or trying to get alcohol or drugs, and feelings of guilt about drinking or drug use.
Multi-Method Study of Police Special Weapons and Tactics Teams in the United States, 1986-1998

This research study was designed to pursue three specific
 goals to accomplish its objective of enhancing knowledge about Special
 Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) teams and the role they play in
 contemporary American policing. The first goal was to develop a better
 picture of the structure and nature of SWAT teams in American law
 enforcement. The second goal of the research project was to increase
 the amount of knowledge about how SWAT teams prepare for and execute
 operations. The project's third goal was to develop information about
 one specific aspect of SWAT operations: the use of force, especially
 deadly force, by both officers and suspects. To gather this
 information, the SWAT Operations Survey (SOS) was conducted. This was a
 nationwide survey of law enforcement agencies with 50 or more sworn
 officers. The survey sought information about the agencies' emergency
 response capabilities and structures. The SOS included two
 instruments: (1) the Operations Form, completed by a total of 341
 agencies, and containing variables about the organization and
 functioning of SWAT teams, and (2) the Firearms Discharge Report,
 which includes a total of 273 shootings of interest, as well as items
 about incidents in which SWAT officers and suspects discharged
firearms during SWAT operations.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN):  Pubertal Development Scale, Wave 1, 1994-1997    

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. The
 Pubertal Development Scale was a self-report measure consisting of
 items that were used to ascertain pubertal status for children in
Cohorts 9, 12, and 15.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN):  Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment, Wave 1, 1994-1997

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 composing the Longitudinal Cohort Study was the Home
Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME) inventory. The
HOME inventory sought to observe the developmental environment in
which children belonging to the Longitudinal Cohort Study sample were
raised. The HOME inventory was designed to capture the absence or
presence of certain cognitive stimuli, including varied learning
experiences and diverse educational materials. The HOME inventory also
measured the extent and nature of the interactions that occurred
between the subject and his or her primary caregiver, the subject and
the subject's father (if the father was not the primary caregiver),
and the subject and other family members. The PHDCN version of the
HOME inventory also assessed the physical conditions in and around the
respondent's home, taking careful note of the layout of the streets
and buildings comprising the neighborhood.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Health Screen, Wave 1, 1994-1997

The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods
 (PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families,

 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 such
 measure was the Health Screen, used to obtain the general health
 condition of the subjects, the frequency with which they were not
 in good physical or mental health, and if this prevented them from
doing usual activities, such as playing.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Family Structure and Health History, Wave 1, 1994-1997

The Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods
 (PHDCN) was a large-scale, interdisciplinary study of how families,

 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 such
 measure was the Family Structure and Health History assessment,
 administered to either the primary caregivers of subjects belonging to
 Cohorts 0 to 15, or to the subjects belonging to Cohort 18. It
 obtained basic information on family structure, household composition,
and health problems.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Family Mental Health and Legal History, Wave 1, 1994-1997

 gauge various aspects of human development, including individual
 differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. One such
 measure was the Family Mental Health and Legal History assessment,
 administered to the primary caregivers of subjects belonging to
 Cohorts 0 to 18. It included questions designed to obtain family
 members' history of psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and any
involvement with the law.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN):  Family Environment Scale, Wave 1, 1994-1995     

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
these measures was the Family Environment Scale (FES). The FES was
designed to assess the interpersonal relationships and the overall
social environment within the family. The FES captures the perception
of the family's functioning from one of its own members. In the case
of the PHDCN Longitudinal Cohort Study, the respondents who completed
the FES were the primary caregivers for cohorts 0-15 and the subjects
composing cohort 18. The FES specifically sought to quantify three
dimensions of the family environment: interpersonal relationships,
directions of personal growth, and basic organization and structure.
In addition to acting as a self-report measuring the family
environment, the FES was also used as an instrument to observe the
effect of the family environment on the individual subjects. Three
scales (Conflict, Control, and Moral-Religious Emphasis) from the
Family Environment Scale were used in this questionnaire to further
evaluate the functioning of the family.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Exposure to Violence (Subject), Wave 1, 1994-1997

 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 such
 measure was the Exposure to Violence (ETV), administered to those
 subjects belonging to Cohorts 9 to 18. It assessed the subject's
 experience of exposure to different types of violent acts, as well as
 how exposure to violence may have affected the subject, his or her
family, and friends.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Exposure to Violence (Primary Caregiver), Wave 1, 1994-1997

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 such
 measure was the Exposure to Violence (ETV), administered to the
 primary caregiver (PC) of subjects belonging to Cohorts 3 to 15. It
 assessed the PC's perception of the subject's experience of exposure
 to different types of violent acts, as well as how exposure to
violence my have affected the PC, his or her family, and friends.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Employment and Income Interview, Wave 1, 1994-1995

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. The
Employment and Income Interview was an atypical measure in that its
primary concern was not to evaluate the developmental circumstances
but rather to assess the economic circumstances surrounding the
subjects. The Employment and Income Interview was administered to the
subjects' primary caregivers for Cohorts 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 and to
the subjects themselves for Cohort 18. The Employment and Income
Interview was developed specifically for the PHDCN Longitudinal Cohort
Study with the intent of combining the employment and income data
obtained with educational status data to create socioeconomic
stratifications for the respondents. The Employment and Income
Interview sought to obtain data describing the respondent's current or
most recent employment and that of his or her partner. The Employment
and Income Interview also sought information regarding primary income
and additional sources of income as well total working hours,
proximity to work, and means of transportation to work for both the
respondent and his or her partner.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Emotionality, Activity, Sociability, and Impulsivity Temperament Survey, Wave 1, 1994-1995

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

 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 employed by the Longitudinal Cohort Study was the
 Emotionality, Activity, Sociability, and Impulsivity (EASI)
 Temperament Survey. The EASI Temperament Survey, introduced in the
 mid-1970s by Arnold H. Buss and Robert Plomin, was designed to
 evaluate subjects based on four temperaments (emotionality, activity,
 sociability, and impulsivity). For the purposes of the PHDCN
 Longitudinal Cohort Study, the EASI Temperament Survey was
 administered both to subjects and primary caregivers (PC). The young
 adults comprising cohort 18 completed the EASI Temperament Survey as a
 self-report inventory, while the primary caregivers of children
 belonging to cohorts 3 through 15 completed the EASI Temperament
 measure as a parental ratings survey. Respondents were asked to
 determine how accurately the behaviors or personality traits
 mentioned, characterized the subject in question, either themselves or
 their child. The responses to the EASI measure were used to evaluate
 the subjects' various social tendencies, emotional characteristics,
and personality traits.

alcohol was also collected.
Police Response to Street Gang Violence in California:  Improving the Investigative Process, 1985

This data collection examines gang and non-gang homicides as 
 well as other types of offenses in small California jurisdictions. Data 
 are provided on violent gang offenses and offenders as well as on a 
 companion sample of non-gang offenses and offenders. Two separate data 
 files are supplied, one for participants and one for incidents. The 
 participant data include age, gender, race, and role of participants. 
 The incident data include information from the "violent incident data 
 collection form" (setting, auto involvement, and amount of property 
 loss), and the "group indicators coding form" (argot, tattoos, 
clothing, and slang terminology).
Improving Prison Classification Procedures in Vermont:  Applying an Interaction Model, 1983-1985  

The purpose of this data collection was to develop and test
 an interactive model for classifying prisoners. The model includes
 person variables, environmental or situation variables, and
 prison-environmental interaction variables in order to study the
 interactions between individuals and their environments and to predict
 offender behaviors such as escape, misconduct, and violence. The model
 was designed to enhance the predictive validity of the National
 Institute of Corrections' classification system that was being used in
 Vermont prisons. Included are scores from the National Institute of
 Corrections' custody classification and reclassification instruments,
 scores from a needs assessment, sentencing information, and
characteristics of the prison in which the inmate was housed.
Effects of Prior Record in Sentencing Research in a Large Northeastern City, 1968-1979:  [United States]

This data collection examines the impact of defendants' 
 prior criminal records on the sentencing of male and female defendants 
 committing violent and non-violent crimes. The collection also provides 
 data on which types of prior records most influenced the sentencing 
 judges. Variables deal specifically with the defendant, the judge and 
 the characteristics of the current case. Only cases that fell into one 
 of 14 categories of common offenses were included. These offenses were 
 murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, assault, minor assault, burglary, 
 auto theft, embezzlement, receiving stolen property, forgery, sex 
 offenses other than rape, drug possession, and driving while 
intoxicated.
