Effects of Local Sanctions on Serious Criminal Offending in Cities with Populations Over 100,000, 1978-1983:  [United States]  

These data assess the effects of the risk of local jail
 incarceration and of police aggressiveness in patrol style on rates of
 violent offending. The collection includes arrest rates for public
 order offenses, size of county jail populations, and numbers of new
 prison admissions as they relate to arrest rates for index (serious)
 crimes. Data were collected from seven sources for each city. CENSUS
 OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1980 [UNITED STATES]: SUMMARY TAPE FILE 1A
 (ICPSR 7941), provided county-level data on number of persons by race,
 age, and age by race, number of persons in households, and types of
 households within each county. CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1980
 [UNITED STATES]: SUMMARY TAPE FILE 3A (ICPSR 8071), measured at the
 city level, provided data on total population, race, age, marital
 status by sex, persons in household, number of households, housing,
 children, and families above and below the poverty level by race,
 employment by race, and income by race within each city. The Federal
 Bureau of Investigation (FBI) 1980 data provided variables on total
 offenses and offense rates per 100,000 persons for homicides, rapes,
 robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle
 offenses, and arson. Data from the FBI for 1980-1982, averaged per
 100,000, provided variables for the above offenses by sex, age, and
 race, and the Uniform Crime Report arrest rates for index crimes
 within each city. The NATIONAL JAIL CENSUS for 1978 and 1983 (ICPSR
 7737 and ICPSR 8203), aggregated to the county level, provided
 variables on jail capacity, number of inmates being held by sex, race,
 and status of inmate's case (awaiting trial, awaiting sentence,
 serving sentence, and technical violations), average daily jail
 populations, number of staff by full-time and part-time, number of
 volunteers, and number of correctional officers. The JUVENILE
 DETENTION AND CORRECTIONAL FACILITY CENSUS for 1979 and 1982-1983
 (ICPSR 7846 and 8205), aggregated to the county level, provided data
 on the number of individuals being held by type of crime and sex, as
 well as age of juvenile offenders by sex, average daily prison
population, and payroll and other expenditures for the institutions.
Termination of Criminal Careers:  Measurement of Rates and Their Determinants in Detroit SMSA, 1974-1977

The purpose of this collection was to measure the length of 
 criminal careers and to correlate these lengths with other 
 characteristics such as age, race, sex, type of crimes committed, and 
 frequency of prior arrests. Determining the length of criminal activity 
 and its relation to other attributes is important in planning for 
 services such as prison space. Because of the difficulty in directly 
 monitoring illegal acts, arrests were used instead as an indicator of 
 criminal activity. Arrest data were gathered for murder, rape, robbery, 
 aggravated assault, burglary, and automobile theft. Using the first 
 arrest as an adult which took place between 1974 and 1977 as a 
 reference point, individuals' prior and continued activities were 
 followed. The data provide basic demographic information about 
 offenders and extensive information about arrests, from arrest charges 
through final disposition.
Retail-Level Heroin Enforcement and Property Crime in 30 Cities in Massachusetts, 1980-1986

In undertaking this data collection, the principal
investigators sought to determine (1) whether police enforcement
against drug crimes, specifically heroin crimes, had any influence on
the rates of nondrug crimes, and (2) what effect intensive law
enforcement programs against drug dealers had on residents where those
programs were operating. To achieve these objectives, data on crime
rates for seven successive years were collected from police records of
30 cities in Massachusetts. Data were collected for the following
offenses: murder, rape, robbery, assault, larceny, and automobile
theft. The investigators also interviewed a sample of residents from 3
of those 30 cities. Residents were queried about their opinions of the
most serious problem facing people today, their degree of concern about
being victims of crime, and their opinions of the effectiveness of law
enforcement agencies in handling drug problems.
Registry of Randomized Criminal Justice Experiments in Sanctions, 1951-1983    

This registry categorizes, summarizes, and analyzes
 datasets containing information on randomized criminal justice
 experiments in sanctions. These datasets vary in methodology,
 geographic region, and other aspects. Among the topics covered in this
 registry are the nature of offense being sanctioned, type of sanction,
 racial and sexual composition of the sample, and procedures and
outcomes of each collection.
Calls for Service to Police as a Means of Evaluating Crime Trends in Oklahoma City, 1986-1988

In an effort to measure the effectiveness of crime
deterrents and to estimate crime rates, calls for assistance placed to
police in Oklahoma City over a two-year period were enumerated. This
type of call was studied in order to circumvent problems such as
"interviewer's effect" and sampling errors that occur with other
methods. The telephone calls were stratified by police district,
allowing for analysis on the neighborhood level to determine whether
deterrence operates ecologically--that is, by neighbors informing one
another about arrests which took place as a result of their calls to
the police. In measuring deterrence, only the calls that concerned
robbery were used. To estimate crime rates, calls were tallied on a
monthly basis for 18 types of offenses: aggravated assault, robbery,
rape, burglary, grand larceny, motor vehicle theft, simple assault,
fraud, child molestation, other sex offenses, domestic disturbance,
disorderly conduct, public drunkenness, vice and drugs, petty larceny,
shoplifting, kidnapping/hostage taking, and suspicious activity.
Changing Patterns of Drug Abuse and Criminality Among Crack Cocaine Users in New York City, 1988-1989   

This collection examines the characteristics of users and
 sellers of crack cocaine and the impact of users and sellers on the
 criminal justice system and on drug treatment and community programs.
 Information was also collected concerning users of drugs other than
 crack cocaine and the attributes of those users. Topics covered
 include initiation into substance use and sales, expenses for drug
 use, involvement with crime, sources of income, and primary substance
 of abuse. Demographic information includes subject's race, educational
 level, living area, social setting, employment status, occupation,
 marital status, number of children, place of birth, and date of
 birth. Information was also collected about the subject's parents:
education level, occupation, and place of birth.
Patterns of Drug Use and Their Relation to Improving Prediction of Patterns of Delinquency and Crime in Racine, Wisconsin, 1961-1988

This dataset presents information on the relationship
between drug and alcohol use and contacts with police for persons in
Racine, Wisconsin, born in 1955. The collection is part of an ongoing
longitudinal study of three Racine, Wisconsin, birth cohorts: those
born in 1942, 1949, and 1955. Only those born in 1955 were considered
to have potential for substantial contact with drugs, and thus only
the younger cohort was targeted for this collection. Data were
gathered for ages 6 to 33 for the cohort members. The file contains
information on the most serious offense during the juvenile and adult
periods, the number of police contacts grouped by age of the cohort
member, seriousness of the reason for police contact, drugs involved
in the incident, the reason police gave for the person having the
drugs, the reason police gave for the contact, and the neighborhood in
which the juvenile was socialized. Other variables include length of
residence in Racine of the cohort member, and demographic information
including age, sex, and race.
Minimum Legal Drinking Age and Crime in the United States, 1980-1987

This collection focuses on how changes in the legal drinking
 age affect the number of fatal motor vehicle accidents and crime rates.
 The principal investigators identified three areas of study.
 First, they looked at blood alcohol content of drivers involved in
 fatal accidents in relation to changes in the drinking age. Second,
 they looked at how arrest rates correlated with changes in the drinking
 age. Finally, they looked at the relationship between blood alcohol
 content and arrest rates. In this context, the investigators used the
 percentage of drivers killed in fatal automobile accidents who had
 positive blood alcohol content as an indicator of drinking in the
 population. Arrests were used as a measure of crime, and arrest rates
 per capita were used to create comparability across states and over
 time. Arrests for certain crimes as a proportion of all arrests were
 used for other analyses to compensate for trends that affect the
 probability of arrests in general. This collection contains three
 parts. Variables in the Federal Bureau of Investigation Crime Data file
 (Part 1) include the state and year to which the data apply, the type of
 crime, and the sex and age category of those arrested for crimes. A
 single arrest is the unit of analysis for this file. Information in
 the Population Data file (Part 2) includes population counts for the
 number of individuals within each of seven age categories, as well as
 the number in the total population. There is also a figure for the number
 of individuals covered by the reporting police agencies from which data
 were gathered. The individual is the unit of analysis. The Fatal Accident
 Data file (Part 3) includes six variables: the FIPS code for the state,
 year of accident, and the sex, age group, and blood alcohol content of
 the individual killed. The final variable in each record is a count of
 the number of drivers killed in fatal motor vehicle accidents for that
 state and year who fit into the given sex, age, and blood alcohol content
grouping. A driver killed in a fatal accident is the unit of analysis.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN):  Where Are You Afraid? (Fear), 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 Where Are You Afraid? questionnaire that included
 questions regarding the subject's fear in certain situations. It was
administered to Cohorts 9, 12, and 15.

 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 Household Composition listing, 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
 the composition of the subject's household and included each household
 member's age, gender, and relationship to the subject. In Wave 1, this
 information was incorporated into the Family Structure and Health
 History (PROJECT ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS
 (PHDCN): FAMILY STRUCTURE AND HEALTH HISTORY, WAVE 1, 1994-1997 [ICPSR

 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. It was administered to subjects' caregivers
 for Cohorts 0 to 15 and to the subjects, themselves, for Cohort 18 and
 it was taken from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey. The
 Wave 2 instrument contained a more detailed health history than the
 Wave 1 instrument used in PROJECT ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN CHICAGO
 NEIGHBORHOODS (PHDCN): HEALTH SCREEN, WAVE 1, 1994-1997 (ICPSR
 13593). The Wave 2 instrument included information regarding lifetime
illnesses and past-year health.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Home and Life Interview, 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 of
the measures composing the Longitudinal Cohort Study was the Home and
Life Interview. The Home and Life Interview was a restructured
interview based on the Home Observation for Measurement of the
Environment (HOME) inventory used in Wave 1. The Home and Life
Interview, like the HOME inventory, sought to observe the
developmental environment in which children belonging to the
Longitudinal Cohort Study sample were raised. The Home and Life
Interview was designed to capture the absence or presence of certain
cognitive stimuli, including varied learning experiences and diverse
educational materials. The Home and Life Interview also measured the
extent and nature of the interactions that occurred between the
subject and his or her primary caregiver. In contrast to Wave 1,
particular emphasis was placed on evaluating the relationship between
the subject and the subject's father or, in the father's absence, a
male father figure. An important feature of the Wave 1 HOME inventory
was the data collected that described the interior and exterior
conditions of the respondent's home and neighborhood. Similar
observations were recorded, however, for Wave 2. This information was
documented in the Interviewer Impressions data found in PROJECT ON
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS (PHDCN): INTERVIEWER
IMPRESSIONS (PRIMARY CAREGIVER), WAVE 1, 1997-2000 (ICPSR 13631) and
in PROJECT ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS (PHDCN):
INTERVIEWER IMPRESSIONS (SUBJECT), WAVE 1, 1997-2000 (ICPSR 13632).
