Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Generalized Anxiety Disorder (Subject and Young Adult), 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 Generalized Anxiety Disorder (Subject and Young Adult)
 instrument. This version of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder
 instrument was administered to subjects for Cohorts 6, 9, 12, and
 15. The instrument was adapted from the Anxiety module of the
 Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (DISC 4) and obtained
 information regarding subjects' worrying and anxiety. It is similar to

Criminal Careers of Juveniles in New York City, 1977-1983  

This longitudinal study of juvenile offenders traces the
 criminal histories of a sample of juveniles, including those who were
 "dropouts" (juvenile offenders who did not go on to become adult
 criminal offenders) and those who continued to be arrested, ranging
 from those with only one subsequent arrest to "persisters"
 (juveniles who did become career criminal offenders). The data are
 intended to address the following questions: (1) Are serious juvenile
 offenders more likely than nonserious juvenile offenders to become
 adult offenders? (2) Are offenders who begin at a younger age more
 likely to have more serious criminal careers than those who begin when
 they are older? (3) As a criminal career progresses, will the offender
 become more skilled at one type of offense and commit that type of
 crime more frequently, while decreasing the frequency of other types
 of crimes? (4) As a criminal career continues, will the offender
 commit progressively more serious offenses? (5) How well can it be
 predicted who will become a high-rate offender? Part 1 of this study,
 Juvenile Case File, contains data on a subsample of 14- and
 15-year-olds who were brought to Probation Intake in the New York City
 Family Court for delinquency offenses. Included are variables for the
 date and type of arrest, disposition and sentence of the offender, and
 sex and race of the offender, as well as questions concerning the
 offender's home environment and highest school grade completed. Part
 2, Arrest and Incarceration Event File, includes information on prior
 delinquency arrests, including the date of arrest, the charge and
 severity, and the disposition and sentence, as well as similar
 information on subsequent offenses that occurred up to six years after
 the original delinquency offense. Included for each incarceration is
 the status of the offender (juvenile or adult), the date of admission
to a facility, and the length of time incarcerated.
Impact of the Court Process on Sexually Abused Children in North Carolina, 1983-1986

This data collection examines the psychological impact of 
 judicial processes on child sexual abuse victims. More specifically, it 
 provides information on how sexual abuse and the subsequent judicial 
 processes affect the mental health functioning of child victims by 
 assessing the impact of (1) additional harm to victims from out-of-home 
 placement, (2) criminal prosecution of the offender/family member, (3) 
 subject testimony in juvenile or criminal court, and (4) family and 
 professional support for the children. Children were enrolled in the 
 study at the time that social services personnel substantiated claims 
 of sexual abuse, and they were followed for a period of 18 months. 
 Assessments of the mental health functioning of the children were made 
 at the time of initial investigation, five months later, and 18 months 
 later, using a combination of self-reports, parent and teacher reports, 
 and psychological tests. After obtaining informed consent from the 
 parent or guardian, each child was interviewed using a structured 
 psychiatric inventory. The specific impacts of the various judicial 
 processes or interventions under study were examined through 
 comparisons of subgroups of the sample that did and did not experience 
 particular interventions. The interventions included social services 
 investigation, court process, foster placement, and psychological 
 therapy. Other information in the file includes the type of sexual 
 abuse experienced, judicial interventions the child experienced, and 
 the child's level of depression, anxiety, and social adjustment. 
Demographic variables include age, sex, and race.
Intra- and Intergenerational Aspects of Serious Domestic Violence and Alcohol and Drug Abuse in Buffalo, 1987

These data examine the interrelationships among alcohol use,
drug use, criminal violence, and domestic violence in a parolee
population. More specifically, the data explore the contributions of
parental substance abuse and domestic violence in prediction of parolee
violence. The study also investigates the effects of drug and alcohol
use on domestic violence for the parolee, the spouse, and the parents.
The data were drawn from individual interviews conducted with parolees
from the Buffalo, New York, area, half of whom were convicted of
violent crimes and half of whom were convicted of nonviolent crimes.
Interviews were also conducted with the spouses and partners of the
parolees. In addition, data concerning the parolees' criminal histories
were abstracted from arrest and parole records. Part 1, Demographic
File 1, provides information on the demographic characteristics of
offenders, arrests, convictions, and sentencing, institutional
transfers, disciplinary reports, indications of psychiatric diagnosis
or psychological disturbances, alcohol and drug use, criminal activity,
and substance abuse while incarcerated. Part 2, Demographic File 2,
includes the same variables as Part 1 (with the exception of
information about psychiatric diagnoses, psychological disturbances,
and disciplinary reports) for those individuals who declined to be
interviewed and a random sample of those who could not be contacted.
Part 3, the Interview File, contains information about childhood social
histories (including sociodemographics, experience of family violence
as a victim and as a witness, and parental drug and alcohol use),
self-reported criminal histories, adult social histories (including
data concerning violence in current relationships, and drug and alcohol
use history), and information about the parolees' and spouses'
discipline styles. The researchers discarded data on female parolees
for the purposes of their analysis.
Assessing Police Officers' Decision Making and Discretion in Making Traffic Stops in Savannah, Georgia, 2002

This study aimed to fill a void in the research regarding
 police behavior by focusing on the formation and creation of cognitive
 suspicion by officers. The study also examined formal actions (stops)
 taken by the police pursuant to that suspicion. The study was
 conducted using observational research methods and collected
 quantitative and qualitative data on officer suspicion. Data were
 collected by observers who rode along with patrol officers from April
 2002 to November 2002.  Field observers used three major data
 collection instruments in order to gather as much relevant information
 as possible from a variety of sources and in diverse situations. The
 Officer Form was an overall evaluation of the officer's
 decision-making characteristics, Suspicion Forms captured information
 each time an incident occurred, and a Suspect Form was a compilation
 of data from the citizen who had the encounter with the
 officer. Additional documents included informed consent forms, a card
 detailing the language to be used for the initial contact with
 citizens, and hourly activity forms. Anytime a suspicion was formed or
 a formal action was taken after a suspicion was formed, the observer
 debriefed the officer as to his or her thoughts and elicited the
 officer's overall rating of the encounter. Data in this collection
 include general demographic characteristics of the officer and the
 suspect, as well as the area in which the suspicion was formed. Data
 was also gathered regarding what led the officer to form a suspicion,
and why a person was or was not stopped.
Evaluation of the Juvenile Breaking the Cycle Program in Lane County, Oregon, 2000-2002 

This study was conducted between April 15, 2000 and
 November 15, 2002 to evaluate the effects of the Juvenile Break the
 Cycle program (JBTC) in Lane County, Oregon on the interim and
 longer-term outcomes for juvenile offenders who were deemed high risk
 and had a history of alcohol and/or other drug use. The study was
 conducted using three waves of interviews as well as administrative
 data. The baseline interview was given to and administrative data were
 collected on 306 juveniles. The 6-month follow-up interview was
 completed by 208 juveniles and the 12-month follow-up interview was
 completed by 183 juveniles. Variables included in the study are
 history of alcohol and/or other drug use, diagnosis of mental health
 problems, history of previous contact with the juvenile justice
 system, substance abuse risk score, total risk score, and history of
 substance abuse treatment or mental health counseling. Variables
 related to JBTC include program assignment, the number of drug test
 administered between interviews, and the number of positive drug
tests.
Developing a Comprehensive Empirical Model of Policing in the United States, 1996-1999

The aim of this study was to provide a systematic empirical
assessment of three basic organizational premises of
Community-Oriented Policing (COP). This study constructed a
comprehensive data set by synthesizing data available in separate
national data sets on police agencies and communities. The base data
source used was the 1999 Law Enforcement Management and Administrative
Statistics (LEMAS) survey [LAW ENFORCEMENT MANAGEMENT AND
ADMINISTRATIVE STATISTICS (LEMAS), 1999 (ICPSR 3079)], which contained
data on police organizational characteristics and on adoption of
community-oriented policing procedures. The 1999 survey was
supplemented with additional organizational variables from the 1997
LEMAS survey [LAW ENFORCEMENT MANAGEMENT AND ADMINISTRATIVE STATISTICS
(LEMAS), 1997 (ICPSR 2700)] and from the 1996 Directory of Law
Enforcement Agencies [DIRECTORY OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES, 1996:
[UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 2260)]. Data on community characteristics were
extracted from the 1994 County and City Data Book, from the 1996 to
1999 Uniform Crime Reports [UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM
DATA. [UNITED STATES]: OFFENSES KNOWN AND CLEARANCES BY ARREST
(1996-1997: ICPSR 9028, 1998: ICPSR 2904, 1999: ICPSR 3158)], from the
1990 and 2000 Census Gazetteer files, and from Rural-Urban Community
classifications. The merging of the separate data sources was
accomplished by using the Law Enforcement Agency Identifiers Crosswalk
file [LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY IDENTIFIERS CROSSWALK [UNITED STATES],
1996 (ICPSR 2876)]. In all, 23 data files from eight separate sources
collected by four different governmental agencies were used to create
the merged data set. The entire merging process resulted in a combined
final sample of 3,005 local general jurisdiction policing agencies.
Variables for this study provide information regarding police
organizational structure include type of government, type of agency,
and number and various types of employees. Several indices from the
LEMAS surveys are also provided. Community-oriented policing variables
are the percent of full-time sworn employees assigned to COP
positions, if the agency had a COP plan, and several indices from the
1999 LEMAS survey. Community context variables include various Census
population categories, rural-urban continuum (Beale) codes, urban
influence codes, and total serious crime rate for different year
ranges. Geographic variables include FIPS State, county, and place
codes, and region.
Assessing Mental Health Problems Among Serious Delinquents Committed to the California Youth Authority, 1997-1999

This study was conducted to explore the usefulness of the
instruments used in the California Youth Authority's (CYA) Treatment
Needs Assessment (TNA) battery. A total of 836 wards who completed
screening questionnaires were followed to determine whether they were
subsequently placed in mental health programs, were prescribed
medications used to treat serious mental health problems, and/or were
identified by staff as requiring these services. Data for this study
were collected from hard-copy files maintained in CYA ward
institutions and the CYA central office. Specific variables include
the scale scores of the four instruments used in the TNA, demographic
variables of the ward, treatment received by the ward, and ward
behavior.
Sexual Assault During and After Separation or Divorce in Rural Ohio, 2003-2004

This qualitative study explored incidents of sexual assault
 of women by former husbands or cohabitants and the link to male peer
 support for sexually aggressive men in rural Ohio. Sexual assault was
 defined as unwanted sexual contact, sexual coercion, attempted rape,
 or rape. A series of screening questions were asked to determine a
 respondent's eligibility for inclusion in the study. The main criteria
 were being aged 18 or older and having ever had any type of unwanted
 sexual experience when they wanted to end, were trying to end, or
 after they had ended a relationship with a husband or live-in male
 partner. If they met the selection criteria, the women were invited to
 a semi-structured face-to-face interview at a time and place of their
 choosing. Between February 2003 and July 2004, 43 women were
 interviewed. The interviews included several demographic questions
 such as income, level of education, marital status, length of the
 relationship, and how long the respondent had lived in the area. Other
 questions asked about the unwanted sexual experiences, social support
networks, and male pornography use.
Risk Management of Sexually Abusive Youth in Massachusetts, 1998-2004

The goal of this study was to assist the Massachusetts
Department of Social Services (DSS) with the risk management of youth
(aged 4 to 20), identified through the Assessment for Safe and
Appropriate Placement (ASAP) program, because of their sexually
inappropriate and coercive behavior. The mission of this project was
to identify and test potentially useful risk and protective factors
for adolescent and pre-adolescent youth who had already begun engaging
in sexually coercive behavior. An award from the National Institute of
Justice complemented and supported state funding for the research
project and permitted detailed coding of 822 cases selected from all
28 DSS area offices throughout Massachusetts. The first five months of
the research program had two priorities: (1) the creation of a
dictionary designed to permit maximally reliable coding of the
information gleaned from the DSS files on these youth, and (2) coding
a representative sample of youth on critical variables. Overall, the
researchers requested the files of approximately 1,300 ASAP-evaluated
youth. The present sample consists of 720 cases that had been coded,
checked, and entered when data analysis began at the beginning of June
2004. Variables include referral and placement history, demographic
characteristics, critical antecedent childhood life experiences,
familial/parental characteristics, presenting behavioral problems
including detailed coding of sexually normative, deviant
(paraphillic), inappropriate and coercive behaviors, and psychological
and/or emotional symptoms.
Domestic Violence Experiment in King's County (Brooklyn), New York, 1995-1997

The researchers sought to add to the incipient literature
on randomized studies of batterer treatment, by conducting an
experimental study that compared batterers assigned to treatment to
batterers assigned to a community service program irrelevant to the
problem of violence. The study was conducted using a true experimental
design and consisted of 376 spousal assault cases drawn from the Kings
County (New York) Criminal Court which were adjudicated between
February 19, 1995, and March 1, 1996. Batterers were mandated to
attend a 40-hour batterer treatment program or to complete 40 hours of
community service. The random assignment was made at sentencing, after
all parties (judge, prosecutor, and defense) had agreed that batterer
treatment was appropriate, the defendant agreed to treatment and was
accepted by the Alternatives to Violence (ATV) program, and the
program was available based on the random assignment process.
Interviews were also conducted with both the batterer and the victim
at sentencing as well as 6 months post-sentence and 12 months
post-sentence. These interviews collected data in areas regarding
demographics (first interview only), recidivism, beliefs about
domestic violence, conflict management strategies, locus of control,
and for victims, self esteem. Administrative records were also used to
obtain data regarding any new crimes committed.
Deterrent Effect of Curfew Enforcement: Operation Nightwatch in St. Louis, 2003-2005

This study was conducted between December 2003 and January
2005, to determine if the curfew check program in St. Louis, Missouri,
known as Nightwatch, was meeting its stated goals of reducing
recidivism and victimization among juvenile offenders. The study was
conducted using a pretest and two post-tests on an experimental group
and a comparison group. The pretest (Time 1) was given to 118
juveniles. The first post-test (Time 2) was completed by 78 juveniles
and the second post-test (Time 3) was completed by 37 juveniles. The
tests were designed to measure the respondents' perceptions of
certainty of punishment, as well as to measure their out of home
activities. Important variables included in the study are levels of
parental supervision, self-reported behaviors of the juvenile
respondent, perceived severity of punishments, measures of
impulsiveness, and self-reported victimization of the respondent, as
well as variables related to the Nightwatch program, including the
number of visits, sanctions or rewards received by the respondent.
Assessing Trends and Best Practices of Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Programs in the United States, 2003

This trends and best practices evaluation geared toward
motor vehicle theft prevention with a particular focus on the Watch
Your Car (WYC) program was conducted between October 2002 and March
2004. On-site and telephone interviews were conducted with
administrators from 11 of 13 WYC member states. Surveys were mailed to
the administrators of auto theft prevention programs in 36 non-WYC
states and the 10 cities with the highest motor vehicle theft rates.
Completed surveys were returned from 16 non-WYC states and five of the
high auto theft rate cities. Part 1, the survey for Watch Your Car
(WYC) program members, includes questions about how respondents
learned about the WYC program, their WYC related program activities,
the outcomes of their program, ways in which they might have done
things differently if given the opportunity, and summary questions
that asked WYC program administrators for their opinions about various
aspects of the overall WYC program. The survey for the nonmember
states, Part 2, and cities, Part 3, collected information about motor
vehicle theft prevention within the respondent's state or city and
asked questions about the respondent's knowledge of, and opinions
about, the Watch Your Car program.
