Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Interviewer Impressions (Primary Caregiver), Wave 2, 1997-2000 

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 Interviewer Impressions (Primary Caregiver). This set
of questions was completed by the interviewer at the end of each
interview with a primary caregiver(PC). Basic demographic information
was collected. Also, the interviewer was asked to rate the behavior of
the PC toward the interviewer and the PC's behavior and attitude
toward the subject and other household members. It was completed for
Cohorts 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15.
Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement, 2011 [United States]

The Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP), conducted every other year, asks juvenile residential custody facilities in the United States to describe all youth assigned a bed in the facility on a specified reference date. In 2011, the reference date was Wednesday, October 26 (the last Wednesday in October).
Each record in the data provides information on a juvenile in a residential facility on the reference date, including information on placement (e.g. placing agency), the judicial process (e.g. court adjudication status), and demographics (e.g. age). Each record that provides information about a juvenile also includes information about institutional characteristics (e.g. facility type, use of locked doors or gates), treatment services, and population of the facility in which the juvenile was held. Therefore, CJRP data can be analyzed at the individual or facility level.
Some state and regional agencies provide CJRP data for more than one facility under their jurisdiction. The census was not sent to adult facilities or to facilities exclusively for drug or mental health treatment or for abused or neglected children.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Interviewer Impressions (Subject), Wave 2, 1997-2000

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

 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 Interviewer Impressions (Subject). This set of
 questions was completed by the interviewer at the end of each
 interview with a subject (SP). The interviewer gave their impressions
 regarding the subject and the interview itself. Basic demographic
 information was also collected. It was completed for Cohorts 3, 6, 9,
12, and 15.

 used languages other than English. It was administered to the
 subject's primary caregiver in Cohort 3 and to the subject in Cohorts
6, 9, 12, 15, and 18.
Implicit and Explicit Messages on Neighborhood Watch Signs in San Diego County, California, 2005-2007

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of Neighborhood Watch signs on perceived crime rates, likelihood of victimization, community safety, and estimates of home and community quality. Part 1 (Study One Data) assessed the causal impact of Neighborhood Watch sign presence and content on perceptions of the community. Three Neighborhood Watch signs were incorporated into a series of slide show presentations. The signs utilized the traditional orange and white color scheme with black text and were used to represent an injunctive norm alone, a low descriptive norm for crime, or a high descriptive norm for crime. Digital color images of a for-sale home and the surrounding neighborhood of a middle class community in North San Diego County were shown to 180 undergraduates recruited from the Psychology Department's Human Participant Pool, and from other lower division general education courses at California State University, San Marcos, between July and November of 2005. Three of the slide shows were designated as Neighborhood Watch communities with one of the three sign types posted, and the fourth slide show served as a control with no posted crime prevention signs. Each slide show consisted of 20 images of the home and community, along with four instruction slides. Part 2 (Study Two Data) replicated the basic effect from Study 1 and extended the research to examine the moderating role of community social economic status (SES) on the effects of the Neighborhood Watch signs. Participants were 547 undergraduate students recruited from the Psychology Department's Human Participant Pool, and from other lower division general education courses at California State University and Palomar Community College in San Marcos, between January and September 2006. A total of 12 slide shows were utilized in Study Two, such that each of the four sign conditions from Study One was represented across each of the three communities (Low, Middle, and High SES). Part 3 (Study Three Data) examined the potential for the physical condition of the Neighborhood Watch signs posted in the community to convey normative information about the presence and acceptance of crime in the community. Participants were 364 undergraduate students recruited from the Psychology Department's Human Participant Pool, and from other lower division general education courses at California State University and Palomar Community College in San Marcos, between October 2006 and March 2007. Study Three used the same generic (Injunctive Norm, Program Only) sign that was utilized in Studies One and
Two. However, three variations (new, aged, and defaced) of the sign were used. The surveys used for Study One, Study Two, and Study Three, were identical. The data include variables on perceived crime rates, perceived likelihood of victimization, perceived community safety, community ratings, self-protective behavior, burglar's perspective, manipulation check, and demographics of the respondent.
Impact of Violent Victimization on Physical and Mental Health Among Women in the United States, 1994-1996

The major goals of the project were to use survey data
 about victimization experiences among American women to examine: (a)
 the consequences of victimization for women's physical and mental
 health, (b) how the impact of victimization on women's health sequelae
 is conditioned by the victim's invoking of family and community
 support, and (c) how among victims of intimate partner violence, such
 factors as the relationship between the victim and offender, the
 offender's characteristics, and police involvement condition the
 impact of victimization on the victim's subsequent physical and mental
 health. This data collection consists of the SPSS syntax used to
 recode existing variables and create new variables from the study,
 VIOLENCE AND THREATS OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND MEN IN THE UNITED
 STATES, 1994-1996 (ICPSR 2566). The study, also known as the National
 Violence against Women Survey (NVAWS), surveyed 8,000 women 18 years
 of age or older residing in households throughout the United States in
 1995 and 1996. The data for the NVAWS were gathered via a national,
 random-digit dialing sample of telephone households in the United
 States, stratified by United States Census region. The NVAWS
 respondents were asked about their lifetime experiences with four
 different kinds of violent victimization: sexual abuse, physical
 abuse, stalking, and intimidation. Using the data from the NVAWS, the
 researchers in this study performed three separate analyses. The study
 included outcome variables, focal variables, moderator variables, and
control variables.
Assessing Identity Theft Offenders' Strategies and Perceptions of Risk in the United States, 2006-2007

The purpose of this study was to examine the crime of identity theft from the offenders' perspectives. The study employed a purposive sampling strategy. Researchers identified potential interview subjects by examining newspapers (using Lexis-Nexis), legal documents (using Lexis-Nexis and Westlaw), and United States Attorneys' Web sites for individuals charged with, indicted, and/or sentenced to prison for identity theft. Once this list was generated, researchers used the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Inmate Locator to determine if the individuals were currently housed in federal facilities. Researchers visited the facilities that housed the largest number of inmates on the list in each of the six regions in the United States as defined by the BOP (Western, North Central, South Central, North Eastern, Mid-Atlantic, and South Eastern) and solicited the inmates housed in these prisons. A total of 14 correctional facilities were visited and 65 individuals incarcerated for identity theft or identity theft related crimes were interviewed between March 2006 and February 2007. Researchers used semi-structured interviews to explore the offenders' decision-making processes. When possible, interviews were audio recorded and then transcribed verbatim. Part 1 (Quantitative Data) includes the demographic variables age, race, gender, number of children, highest level of education, and socioeconomic class while growing up. Other variables include prior arrests or convictions and offense type, prior drug use and if drug use contributed to identity theft, if employment facilitated identity theft, if they went to trial or plead to charges, and sentence length. Part 2 (Qualitative Data), includes demographic questions such as family situation while growing up, highest level of education, marital status, number of children, and employment status while committing identity theft crimes. Subjects were asked about prior criminal activity and drug use. Questions specific to identity theft include the age at which the person became involved  in identity theft, how many identities he or she had stolen, if they had worked with other people to steal identities, why they had become involved in identity theft, the skills necessary to steal identities, and the perceived risks involved in identity theft.
Aftercare Services for Juvenile Parolees with Mental Disorders in Ohio, 2005-2006

The purpose of the study was to examine the aftercare services juvenile parolees with mental disorders receive as they transition from correctional facilities to the community.  The study assessed rates of recidivism for juvenile parolees with mental disorders, the type and frequency of mental health care received in the community by youth on parole, and the relationship between parolees' recidivism and functional outcomes with their utilization of mental health care. The sample came from the Ohio Department of Youth Services (DYS), which covers youths aged 10 to 21 sentenced to correctional care for the 88 Ohio counties in 2005 and 2006. The actual cohort was composed of 175 youths aged 12 to 19 years who had a presumptive release date within the next 60 days and were placed on the mental health caseload. Data were collected in 2005 and 2006 at four time points:  one month pre-release, one month post-release, three months post-release, and six months post-release. Variables were gathered from the Ohio DYS and through the administration of a variety of standardized surveys and interview protocols. The main categories of variables include variables relating to arrest history and recidivism, variables relating to the mental health of subjects, variables relating to the administration of mental health treatment and health insurance coverage post-release, and demographic variables.
Assessing the Validity of Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) Tools in a Jail Setting in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 2006

The purpose of the project was to assess the validity of two Voice Stress Analysis (VSA) tools currently on the market: the Layered Voice Analysis (LVA) and the Computer Voice Stress Analyzer (CVSA). The methodology and sampling protocols for this study were derived from the pre-existing methodology and sampling techniques employed in the National Institute of Justice-funded Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring (ADAM) program that operated in Oklahoma County from 1998 to 2004. The researchers interviewed arrestees in the Oklahoma County jail about their recent illicit drug use during the months of February and March 2006. The VSA data collected using each of the software systems in this study were sent to certified examiners from CVSA and LVA for their analysis. After the completion of the interview, the subjects were asked to complete the data collection process by supplying urine specimens. Answers from the 319 respondents were compared to the results of a urinalysis test to determine the extent to which they were being deceptive. Then, their "actual deceptiveness" was compared to the extent to which deception was indicated by the VSA programs. The dataset contains (1) demographic information obtained from the official booking records, (2) responses to survey questions about recent drug use, (3) the results of a urinalysis test on five drugs, (4) variables recording "deception" or "no deception" on each of the drugs, and (5) decisions by novice and expert analysts regarding the indication of deception.
Prevalence and Case Characteristics of Drug-Facilitated, Incapacitated, and Forcible Rape Among College Students and Other Young Women in the United States, 2006

This study had four key goals.  The first goal was to identify how many women in the United States and in college settings have ever been raped or sexually assaulted during their lifetime and within the past year.  The next goal was to identify key case characteristics of drug-facilitated and forcible rapes.  The third goal was to examine factors that affect the willingness of women to report rape to law enforcement or seek help from their support network.  The last goal was to make comparisons between the different types of rape.  Part 1 (General Population) data consisted of a national telephone household sample of 3,001 United States women, whereas Part 2 (College Population) data consisted of 2,000 college women selected from a reasonably representative national list of women attending four year colleges and universities.  Both data parts contain the same 399 variables. Interviews were completed between January 23 and June 26, 2006.  Respondents were asked questions regarding risk perception, fear of violence, and accommodation behavior.  The women were also asked their opinions and attitudes about reporting rape to the authorities and disclosing rape to family members, peers, or other individuals. This includes questions about barriers to reporting and experiences that women have had being the recipient of a disclosure from a friend, relative, or other individual.  The respondents were asked a series of questions about rape, including different types of forcible, drug- or alcohol-facilitated, and incapacitated rape.  For women who endorsed one or more rape experiences, a wide range of rape characteristics were assessed including characteristics around the nature of the event, perpetrator-victim relationship, occurrence of injury, involvement of drugs or alcohol, receipt of medical care, and whether the rape was reported to the authorities.  The respondents were also asked a series of questions regarding substance use, including prescription and illegal drugs and alcohol.  Additionally, a series of questions related to post-traumatic stress disorder and depression were asked.  Finally, the women were asked to provide basic demographic information such as age, race, ethnicity, and income.

Trajectories of Violent Offending and Risk Status Across Adolescence and Early Adulthood, 1976-1986 [United States]

This study investigated violent offending in adolescence
 and early adulthood with an aim of building practical knowledge to
 guide prevention programs and policies. The study examined risk
 factors that influence violent offending and described how offending
 and risk levels change over adolescence and into early adulthood. The
 study used data from Waves I to VII of the NATIONAL YOUTH SURVEY
 (NYS), conducted by Delbert Elliott between 1977 and 1987. Separate
 datasets for Waves I to VII were merged to create a single
 longitudinal dataset, using SAS system software. The NYS includes
 baseline information on youth and family background and demographic
 characteristics, as well as longitudinal data on the behaviors and
 attitudes of youths, and youths' perceptions of parent, neighborhood,
and peer group factors.
Preparedness of Large Retail Malls to Prevent and Respond to Terrorist Attack, 2004 [United States]

The purpose of this project was to assess the level of
 security in large indoor shopping malls. The researchers administered
 surveys to the security directors of the nation's largest indoor
 retail malls. The researchers sent letters with surveys attached, to
 1,372 security directors of enclosed retail malls across the country,
 which were at least 250,000 square feet in size. A total of 120
 completed surveys were returned. The survey instrument was divided
 into the following nine sections: (1) Hiring Standards, (2) Training,
 (3) Security Budget, (4) Human Surveillance Strategies, (5) Access
 Control Plans, (6) Technological Enhancements, (7) Emergency
 Preparedness Procedures, (8) Relations with the Public Sector, and (9)
Opinions about Terrorist Threat.
Developing and Validating a Brief Jail Mental Health Screen in Maryland and New York, 2005-2006

The goal of this research project was to develop an efficient mental health screen that would aid in the early identification of severe mental illnesses and other acute psychiatric problems during the jail intake process. The researchers sought to validate the Brief Jail Mental Health Screen (BJMHS) as such a tool. Participants in the study included male and female jail detainees admitted to one of four county jails, two in Maryland and two in New York, from November 2005 to June 2006. A total of 10,562 jail detainees were screened using the BJMHS-R (Part 1). The screening data were used to identify a sub-sample of detainees who were systematically sampled for a detailed clinical assessment, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID), which was conducted by a trained research interviewer in order to validate the screen. A subset of 464 jail detainees completed the SCID interviews (Part 2). Part 1, Tracking Data, contains 54 variables, including items and scores from the BJMHS-R, that were used to used to identify and generate a list of potential detainee participants for the SCID interview. Part 2, Interview Data, contains 326 variables, including items and scores from both the BJMHS-R and the SCID interviews, that were used to validate the screen.
