Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Routine Activities, 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 such
 measure was the Routine Activities protocol. This was drawn from
 Osgood's Unstructured Routine Activities to ascertain the frequency
 with which subjects engaged in various activities during their free
 time. It was administered to subjects in Cohorts 6, 9, and 12. The
 instrument was identical to the instrument administered to Cohorts 9,
 12, and 15 in Wave 2 (PROJECT ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN CHICAGO
 NEIGHBORHOODS (PHDCN): ROUTINE ACTIVITIES, WAVE 2, 1997-2000 [ICPSR

Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Youth Self Report, 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 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 12 and 15 of the Longitudinal Cohort
 Study. It assessed internalizing (i.e., anxiety, depression, and
 overcontrolled) and externalizing (i.e., aggressive, hyperactivity,
 noncompliant, and undercontrolled) behaviors. Eight sub-scale
 symptoms (Withdrawn, Somatic Complaints, Anxiety and Depression,
 Social Problems, Thought Problems, Attention Problems, Aggressive
Behavior, and Delinquent Behaviors) were also measured.

 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 Young
 Adult Self Report (YASR). The YASR protocol, a self-administered
 survey, was first developed by Thomas M. Achenbach and 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, as
 well as tendencies toward anti-social and criminal behavior. The PHDCN
 version of the Young Adult Self Report provided a thorough self
 assessment of the respondents belonging to Cohort 18 of the
 Longitudinal Cohort Study and scored each respondent based on his or
her level of psychological and behavioral functioning.

 gauge various aspects of human development, including individual
 differences, as well as family, peer, and school influences. The
 Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) was 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 6, 9, 12, and 15.

consequences of that behavior.
Plea Bargaining in the United States, 1978

This study was conducted in 1978 at the Institute of
Criminal Law and Procedure of the Georgetown University Law Center. The
study consists of three files. The first contains information from
3,397 case files in six United States cities. The 63 variables include
demographic information on the accused and the victim, past record of
the accused, seriousness of the offense, pleas entered, speed of trial
process, and sentencing. The second file contains information gathered
from in-court observations focused on the formal supervision of plea
bargaining by judges. There are approximately 33 variables for each of
the 711 court observations. The third file consists of the results of a
plea bargaining simulation game. There are 17 variables for each of the
479 cases in the file.

 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.
 Traditionally, the Stanford-Binet (SB) Intelligence Scale was a
 wide-range individual test, assessing intelligence from age two
 through the superior adult level. It was an age scale, requiring
 subjects to solve problems, give definitions, memorize new material,
 and use some visual-motor skills at various age levels. For this
 study, the SB included a vocabulary subtest consisting of providing
 both names of pictures and definitions of words. It was only
administered to Cohort 3.

Factors Influencing the Quality and Utility of Government-Sponsored Criminal Justice Research in the United States, 1975-1986

This data collection examines the effects of organizational 
 environment and funding level on the utility of criminal justice 
 research projects sponsored by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ). 
 The data represent a unique source of information on factors that 
 influence the quality and utility of criminal justice research. 
 Variables describing the research grants include NIJ office responsible 
 for monitoring the grant (e.g., courts, police, corrections, etc.), 
 organization type receiving the grant (academic or nonacademic), type 
 of data (collected originally, existing, merged), and priority area 
 (crime, victims, parole, police). The studies are also classified by: 
 (1) sampling method employed, (2) presentation style, (3) statistical 
 analysis employed, (4) type of research design, (5) number of 
 observation points, and (6) unit of analysis. Additional variables 
 provided include whether there was a copy of the study report in the 
 National Criminal Justice Archive, whether the study contained 
 recommendations for policy or practice, and whether the project was 
 completed on time. The data file provides two indices--one that 
 represents quality and one that represents utility. Each measure is 
generated from a combination of variables in the dataset.
National Study of Private Ownership of Firearms in the United States, 1994  

This data collection consists of a survey of private
 ownership of firearms by adults in the United States. Respondents who
 both did and did not own firearms were included. The variables cover
 topics such as the number and type of guns owned privately, methods
 of, and reasons for, firearms acquisition, the storage and carrying of
 guns, the defensive use of firearms against criminal attackers, and
 reasons for and against firearm ownership. Basic demographic
variables include sex, age, education, and employment.
Crime and Mental Disorder, 1972

The purpose of this data collection was to explore the
relationship between crime and mental disorder among jail inmates.
Three sample groups were studied: jail inmates who had psychiatric
contacts, jail inmates who did not have psychiatric contacts, and a
control group of psychiatric patients who were not in jail. Psychiatric
diagnosis history for inmates and patients with psychiatric contacts
spanning 18 years (1960-1977) is available along with each subject's
crime record and sentencing history. Variables include demographic
characteristics, type of offenses sentenced, and number of arrests.
Also included are psychiatric contact information including date of
contact, diagnosis, type of service given, date of treatment
termination, and reason for termination.
Interaction Between Neighborhood Change and Criminal Activity, 1950-1976: Los Angeles County  

This study was conducted in 1979 at the Social Science
Research Institute, University of Southern California, and explores
the relationship between neighborhood change and crime rates between
the years 1950 and 1976. The data were aggregated by unique and
consistently-defined spatial areas, referred to as dummy tracts or
neighborhoods, within Los Angeles County. By combining United States
Census data and administrative data from several state, county, and
local agencies, the researchers were able to develop measures that
tapped the changing structural and compositional aspects of each
neighborhood and their interaction with the patterns of juvenile
delinquency. Some of the variables included are annual income, home
environment, number of crimes against persons, and number of property
crimes.
Deterrent Effects of Antitrust Enforcement [United States]: the Ready-Mix Concrete Industry, 1970-1980

These data were collected to explore the relationship
between profit levels in the concrete industry and the antitrust
enforcement activities undertaken by the United States Department of
Justice in 19 cities over an 11-year period. The data collection is
composed mainly of published aggregate data on ready-mix concrete
costs and prices. Profits and estimates of collusive markups in this
industry can be calculated and related to antitrust enforcement
efforts. Variables include measures of wages and materials costs,
prices of concrete products, number of building permits issued,
gasoline prices, the consumer price index, number of laborers
employed, unemployment rates, measures of change in the Department of
Justice's Antitrust Division budget, change in number of DOJ permanent
enforcement personnel, and number of antitrust criminal actions
initiated by DOJ against ready-mix concrete users, producers of
related products, producers of substitutes for ready-mix products, and
ready-mix producers.
Operation Hardcore [Crime] Evaluation: Los Angeles, 1976-1980

This evaluation was developed and implemented by the Los
Angeles District Attorney's Office to examine the effectiveness of
specialized prosecutorial activities in dealing with the local problem
of rising gang violence, in particular the special gang prosecution
unit Operation Hardcore. One part of the evaluation was a system
performance analysis. The purposes of this system performance analysis
were (1) to describe the problems of gang violence in Los Angeles and
the ways that incidents of gang violence were handled by the Los
Angeles criminal justice system, and (2) to document the activities of
Operation Hardcore and its effect on the criminal justice system's
handling of the cases prosecuted by that unit. Computer-generated
listings from the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office of all
individuals referred for prosecution by local police agencies were used
to identify those individuals who were subsequently prosecuted by the
District Attorney. Data from working files on all cases prosecuted,
including copies of police, court, and criminal history records as well
as information on case prosecution, were used to describe criminal
justice handling. Information from several supplementary sources was
also included, such as the automated Prosecutors Management Information
System (PROMIS) maintained by the District Attorney's Office, and court
records from the Superior Court of California in Los Angeles County,
the local felony court.
Police Use of Deadly Force, 1970-1979

The circumstances surrounding "justifiable homicides" by
police are the focus of this data collection, which examines
occurrences in 57 United States cities during the period
1970-1979. Homicides by on- and off-duty police officers serving
communities of 250,000 or more were studied. Data were collected
through a survey questionnaire sent to police executives of the 57
cities. The Federal Bureau of Investigation supplied data on
justifiable homicides by police, including age, sex, and race
data. The variables include number of sworn officers, number of
supervisory officers, average years of education, department
regulations about issues such as off-duty employment, uniforms,
carrying firearms, and disciplinary actions, in-service training,
pre-service training, firearms practice, assignments without firearms,
on-duty deaths, and off-duty deaths.  The study was funded by a grant
from the National Institute of Justice to the International
Association of Chiefs of Police.
