Juvenile Residential Facility Census, 2010 [United States]

The Juvenile Residential Facility Census (JRFC) collected basic information on facility characteristics, including size, structure, security arrangements, and ownership. It also collected information on the use of bedspace in the facility to indicate whether the facility was experiencing crowding. The JRFC included questions about the type of facility, such as detention center, training school, ranch, or group home. This information was complemented by a series of questions about other residential services provided by the facility, such as independent living, foster care, or other arrangements. In 2010, the JRFC used three modules to collect information on the educational services, substance abuse treatment, and mental health treatment provided to youth in these facilities. While not evaluating the effectiveness or quality of these services, the JRFC gathered important information about the youth the services were directed toward and how the services were provided. The census indicated the use of screenings or tests conducted to determine counseling, education, health, or substance abuse needs, and also examined prominent issues about conditions of confinement, including the restraint of youth and improper absences from the facility. Congress requires the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to report annually on the number of deaths of juveniles in custody; JRFC collected information on such deaths for the one-year period just prior to the census reference date. The census reference date was the fourth Wednesday in October.
National Evaluation of the Safe Start Promising Approaches Initiative, 2006-2010

The Safe Start Promising Approaches for Children Exposed to Violence Initiative
funded 15 sites to implement and evaluate programs to improve outcomes for
children exposed to violence. RAND conducted the national evaluation of
these programs, in collaboration with the sites and a national evaluation team,
to focus on child-level outcomes. The dataset includes data gathered at the
individual family-level at baseline, 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-months. All families were engaged in experimental or quasi-experimental studies comparing the Safe Start intervention to enhanced services-as-usual, alternative services, a wait-list control group, or a comparable comparison group of families that did not receive Safe Start services. Data sources for the outcome evaluation were primary caregiver interviews, child interviews (for ages 3 and over), and family/child-level service utilization data provided by the Safe Start program staff.
Northwestern Juvenile Project, (Cook County, Illinois): Follow-up 1, 1998-2001

 This study contains data from the first follow-up interview of the Northwestern Juvenile Project (NJP), a longitudinal assessment of alcohol, drug, or mental service treatment needs of juvenile detainees. This initial follow-up occurred approximately three years after the baseline interview and focused on studying the development and persistence of psychiatric disorders, related predictive variables, patterns of drug use, and other risk behaviors.

The project's aims included studying (1) development and persistence of alcohol, drug, and mental disorders and (2) pathways and patterns of risky behaviors.  Changes in disorders over time were studied (including onset, remission, and recurrence), comorbidity, associated functional impairments, and the risk and protective factors related to these disorders and impairments. This study addressed patterns and sequences of the development of drug use and related variables, focusing on gender differences, racial/ethnic differences, the antecedents of these risky behaviors (risk and protective factors), and how these behaviors were interrelated. The original sample included 1829 randomly selected youth, 1172 males and 657 females, then 10 to 18 years old, enrolled in the study as they entered the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center from 1995 to 1998.  Among the sample were 1005 African Americans, 524 Hispanics, 296 non-Hispanic white respondents.
Participants were tracked from the time they left detention.  Re-interviews were conducted regardless of where respondents were living when their follow-up interview was due: in the community, correctional settings, or by telephone if they lived farther than two hours from Chicago.
Rochester Youth Development Study Phase 1 Data, 1988-1992 [Rochester, New York]

The Rochester Youth Development Study (RYDS) is part of the larger "Program of Research on the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency" initiated by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention in 1986. The RYDS examines causes and consequences of delinquency and drug use in an urban sample of adolescents. A sample of 1,000 seventh and eighth grade students was selected from Rochester, New York, public schools during the 1987-1988 academic year. These students were selected to over-represent youth at high risk for serious delinquency and drug use. In Phase 1 each student was interviewed nine times at six-month intervals from the Spring of 1988 until the Spring of 1992. In addition, interviews with one primary caretaker of each student were conducted eight times at six-month intervals from the Spring of 1988 until the Fall of 1991. The interviews lasted about an hour and cover a wide range of topics including social class position, family structure and processes, educational success, peer relationships, neighborhood characteristics, psychological functioning, social networks, and social support systems, and involvement in prosocial and antisocial behaviors.  When appropriate, the research team collected similar information from both the students and parents to provide multiple perspectives on these developmental issues. The research team also collected extensive information about problem behaviors including self-reported delinquency and drug use, gang membership, gun ownership, problem drug use, teenage parenthood, school dropout, and other problem behaviors.
National Evaluation of the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Program - Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) and Youth Surveys, [United States], 1999-2005 

The Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL) Program was designed to reduce the number of alcoholic beverages sold to and consumed by minors under the age of 21 by distributing grants to state agencies to increase law enforcement activity with regard to the sale of alcohol to minors. The main elements of the National Evaluation of the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Program are: Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) Survey:  a telephone survey of law enforcement agencies in a sample of communities in states receiving discretionary grants, and Youth Survey:  a telephone survey of youth, age 16 to 20, in these same communities.  Each of these data collection efforts was conducted once relatively early in the implementation of the program and annually for two years thereafter for each round. The evaluation involves a comparison of communities that are receiving the most intensive "interventions"--in this case, communities that received sub-grants under the three rounds EUDL discretionary grant program--with communities that are not receiving such intense interventions.
Juvenile Court Statistics, 1994: [United States]

This data collection describes in quantitative terms the
 volume of juvenile cases disposed in 1994 by courts having
 jurisdiction over juvenile matters (delinquency, status offense, and
 dependency cases). Inaugurated in 1926 to furnish an index of the
 problems brought before the juvenile courts, this series is the oldest
 continuous source of information on the processing of delinquent and
 dependent youth by juvenile courts. It is the most detailed
 information available on youth who come in contact with the juvenile
 justice system and on the activities of the nation's juvenile courts.
 Information is provided on state, county, number of delinquency cases,
 number of status offense cases, number of dependency cases, and total
 number of cases. The data distinguish cases with and without the
filing of a petition.
National Survey of Children's Exposure to Violence I, 1990-2008 [United States]

The National Survey of Children's Exposure to Violence (NatSCEV) series involved three rounds of data collection, this study NatSCEV I (baseline), NatSCEV II, and NatSCEV III. For more information on other parts to the series, please use the following links:
NatSCEV II (ICPSR 36177) - http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR36177.v1
NatSCEV III (ICPSR 36523) - http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR36523.v1

The National Survey of Children's Exposure to Violence I was designed to obtain lifetime and one-year incidence estimates of a comprehensive range of childhood victimizations across gender, race, and developmental stage. Conducted between January and July, 2008, it assessed the experiences of a nationally representative sample of 4,549 children aged 1 month to 17 years living in the contiguous United States (excluding New Hampshire). The primary sample of households was selected from a nationwide sampling frame of residential telephone numbers by random digit dialing (RDD). A second sample was drawn by over-sampling United States telephone exchanges that had a population of 70 percent or more of African American, Hispanic, or low-income households.   A short interview was conducted with an adult caregiver (usually a parent) to obtain family demographic information. One child was randomly selected from all eligible children in a household by selecting the child with the most recent birthday.
The survey used an enhanced version of the Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ), an inventory of childhood victimization. This version of the JVQ obtains reports on 48 forms of offenses against youth that cover five general areas of concern including: conventional crime, child maltreatment, peer and sibling victimization, sexual assault, and witnessing and indirect victimization. Follow-up questions for each victimization item gathered additional information about the victimization incident.  The data set has 1,824 variables and 4,549 cases.
Pittsburgh Youth Study Mental Health Constructs, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1987-2001

The Pittsburgh Youth Study (PYS) is part of the larger "Program of Research on the Causes and Correlates of Delinquency" initiated by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention in 1986. PYS aims to document the development of antisocial and delinquent behavior from childhood to early adulthood, the risk factors that impinge on that development, and help seeking and service provision of boys' behavior problems. The study also focuses on boys' development of alcohol and drug use, and internalizing problems.
PYS consists of three cohorts of boys who were in the first, fourth, and seventh grades in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania public schools during the 1987-1988 academic year (called the youngest, middle, and oldest cohorts, respectively). Using a screening risk score that measured each boy's antisocial behavior, boys identified at the top 30% within each grade cohort on the screening risk measure (n=~250), as well as an equal number of boys randomly selected from the remainder (n=~250), were selected for follow-up. Consequently, the final sample for the study consisted of 1,517 total students selected for follow-up. 503 of these students were in the oldest sample, 508 were in the middle sample, and 506 were in the youngest sample.
Assessments were conducted semiannually and then annually using multiple informants (i.e., boys, parents, and teachers) between 1987 and 2010. The youngest cohort was assessed from ages 6-19 and again at ages 25 and 28.  The middle cohort was assessed from ages 9-13 and again at age 23.  The oldest cohort was assessed from ages 13-25, with an additional assessment at age 35.  Information has been collected on a broad range of risk and protective factors across multiple domains (e.g., individual, family, peer, school, and neighborhood).  Measures of conduct problems, substance use/abuse, criminal behavior, mental health problems have been collected.
This collection contains data and syntax files for mental health constructs. The datasets include constructs on symptoms and contributing factors from both the DSM-IIIR and DSM-IV for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Anxiety, Conduct Disorder, depressed mood, substance abuse, Major Depressive Episode and Dysthymia, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Psychopathy with and without delinquency, Schizophrenia, help-seeking behavior, institutionalization, and other diagnoses and constructs. Additionally, the collection includes data on scores from the following scales: Problem Scale, DSM-Oriented Scale, Child Behavior Checklist (CBPRB), and Young Adult Problem Scales.
The mental health constructs were created by using the PYS raw data. The raw data are available at ICPSR in the following studies:
Pittsburgh Youth Study Youngest Sample (1987 - 2001) [Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania],
Pittsburgh Youth Study Middle Sample (1987 - 1991) [Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania], and
Pittsburgh Youth Study Oldest Sample (1987 - 2000) [Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania].
Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement, 1999 [United States]

The Census of Juveniles in Residential Placement (CJRP) was administered for the first time in 1997 by the United States Bureau of the Census, for the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). CJRP replaced the Census of Public and Private Juvenile Detention, Correctional, and Shelter Facilities, also known as the Children in Custody (CIC) census, which had been conducted since the early 1970s. The CJRP differs fundamentally from CIC in that the CIC collected aggregate data on juveniles held in each facility (e.g., number of juveniles in the facility) and the CJRP, which is conducted biennially, collects an individual record on each juvenile held in the residential facility to provide a detailed picture of juveniles in custody. The CJRP asked juvenile residential custody facilities in the United States to describe each youth assigned a bed in the facility on a specified reference date. In 1999, the reference date was the fourth Wednesday in October. Characteristics of the facility, treatment services, and facility population were also collected. Each record in the data that provides information about a juvenile also includes the characteristics of the facility in which the juvenile was held. Therefore, the CJRP data can be analyzed at the juvenile 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.
Deinstitutionalization of Status Offenders: a Study of Intervention Practices for Youth in Seven Cities in the United States, 1987-1991

This data collection focuses on status offenders--those
juveniles who commit acts (such as running away, habitual truancy, and
possession of alcohol) that are forbidden to minors but not to adults.
The purpose of this study was to connect legislative intent, service
delivery systems, and youth responses in order to provide guidelines
for future status offender legislation and practice. In the selection
of sampling sites, three categories of intervention philosophy were
represented: (1) deterrence, which recommends sanctions and control
through the juvenile justice system, (2) treatment, which recommends
emotional adjustment strategies through the community mental health
system, and (3) normalization, which recommends little or no
professional response. Respondents from youth service agencies in seven
cities in the United States were asked about service delivery system
characteristics (such as types of referral sources, how often they were
used, and length of client service period), organizational
characteristics (such as public versus private auspices, sources of
funding, and educational level of staff), and youth characteristics
(such as family situation, school status, and educational attainment of
principal adults in the home). Demographic variables for status
offenders included gender, race, age, and type of residence. Interviews
with youths were also conducted and included a self-concept scale, by
which youths could categorize themselves as delinquent, disturbed,
and/or conforming. The units of analysis for this study are the
individual and the youth service agency.
Juvenile Court Statistics, 1987: [United States]

This data collection describes in quantitative terms the
 volume of juvenile cases disposed in 1987 by courts having
 jurisdiction over juvenile matters (delinquency, status offense, and
 dependency cases). Inaugurated in 1926 to furnish an index of the
 problems brought before the juvenile courts, this series is the oldest
 continuous source of information on the processing of delinquent and
 dependent youth by juvenile courts. Information is provided on state,
 county, number of delinquency cases by sex, number of status offense
 cases by sex, number of dependency cases by sex, and total number of
cases by sex.
Juvenile Court Statistics, 1988: [United States]

This data collection describes in quantitative terms the
 volume of juvenile cases disposed in 1988 by courts having
 jurisdiction over juvenile matters (delinquency, status offense, and
 dependency cases). Inaugurated in 1926 to furnish an index of the
 problems brought before the juvenile courts, this series is the oldest
 continuous source of information on the processing of delinquent and
 dependent youth by juvenile courts. Information is provided on state,
 county, number of delinquency cases by sex, number of status offense
 cases by sex, number of dependency cases by sex, and total number of
cases by sex.
Juvenile Court Statistics, 1989: [United States]

 volume of juvenile cases disposed in 1989 by courts having
 jurisdiction over juvenile matters (delinquency, status offense, and
 dependency cases). Inaugurated in 1926 to furnish an index of the
 problems brought before the juvenile courts, this series is the oldest
 continuous source of information on the processing of delinquent and
 dependent youth by juvenile courts. Information is provided on state,
 county, number of delinquency cases by sex, number of status offense
 cases by sex, number of dependency cases by sex, and total number of
cases by sex.
Families of Missing Children: Psychological Consequences and Promising Interventions in the United States, 1989-1991

This study was conducted to examine the psychological
 reactions experienced by families of missing children and to evaluate
 families' utilization of and satisfaction with intervention
 services. To address issues of psychological consequences, the events
 occurring prior to child loss, during the experience of child loss,
 and after child recovery (if applicable) were studied from multiple
 perspectives within the family by interviewing parents, spouses,
 siblings, and, when possible, the missing child. A sample of 249
 families with one or more missing children were followed with in-home
 interviews, in a time series measurement design. Three time periods
 were used: Time Series 1, within 45 days of disappearance, Time Series
 2, at 4 months post-disappearance, and Time Series 3, at 8 months
 post-disappearance. Three groups of missing children and their
 families were studied: loss from alleged nonfamily abduction
 (stranger), loss by alleged family or parental abduction, and loss by
 alleged runaway. Cases were selected from four confidential sites in
 the United States. The files in this collection consist of data from
 detailed structured interviews (Parts 1-22) and selected quantitative
 nationally-normed measurement instruments (Parts 23-33). Structured
 interview items covered: (1) family of origin for parents of the
 missing child or children, (2) demographics of the current family with
 the missing child or children, (3) conditions in the family before the
 child's disappearance, (4) circumstances of the child's disappearance,
 (5) perception of the child's disappearance, (6) missing child search,
 (7) nonmissing child, concurrent family stress, (8) coping with the
 child's disappearance, (9) coping with a nonmissing child, concurrent
 family stress, (10) missing child recovery, if applicable, (11)
 recovered child reunification with family, if applicable, and (12)
 resource and assistance evaluation. With respect to intervention
 services, utilization of and satisfaction with these services were
 assessed in each of the following categories: law enforcement
 services, mental health services, missing child center services,
 within-family social support, and community social support. The
 quantitative instruments collected data on family members' stress
 levels and reactions to stress, using the Symptom Check List-90,
 Achenbach Child Behavior Check List, Family Inventory of Life Events,
 F-COPES, Frederick Trauma Reaction Index-Adult, and Frederick Trauma
Reaction Index-Child.
Conditions of Confinement in Juvenile Detention and Correctional Facilities: [United States], 1991

This study was conducted for the Office of Juvenile Justice
and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to (1) collect and analyze data on
conditions of confinement in public and private juvenile facilities, (2)
determine the extent to which conditions were consistent with those
required by nationally recognized standards for juvenile confinement
facilities, (3) suggest explanations for variations in conformance to
standards among facilities, and (4) assist OJJDP in formulating
recommendations for improving conditions of confinement. In challenging
the premise that high levels of conformance to nationally recognized
standards result in improved conditions of confinement, this study
examined client outcomes. Areas of concern for juvenile facilities
usually center on living space, health care, security, and control of
suicidal behavior. Key incident measures provided in this data
collection include injuries, escapes, acts of suicidal behavior,
incidents requiring emergency health care, and isolation incidents. Part
1, Mail Survey Data, collected information from facility administrators.
Part 2, Site Visit Data, consists of questions answered by the juvenile
inmates as well as by the independent observers who administered the
on-site surveys. Additional variables in Part 2 that are not present in
Part 1 include subjective measures such as the quality of the food,
medical care, and recreation facilities, and whether various facility
programs were effective. The study covered all 984 public and private
juvenile detention centers, reception centers, training schools, and
ranches, camps, and farms in the United States. Three types of
facilities were excluded: (1) youth halfway houses, shelters, and group
homes, (2) police lockups, adult jails, and prisons that held juveniles
tried and convicted as adults, and (3) psychiatric and drug treatment
programs.
