Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): School Interview, 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 School Interview protocol. This was adapted from the
 school section of the Youth Interview Schedule used in the
 Philadelphia Family Management Study. It included sections addressing
 school climate, school safety, types of classes the subject had taken,
 the subject's attitude toward school, and participation in activities
 within and outside of school and in after-school activities. It was
 administered to subjects in Cohorts 6, 9, and 12. It is closely
 related to PROJECT ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOODS
(PHDCN): SCHOOL INTERVIEW, WAVE 2, 1997-2000 (ICPSR 13654).
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Conflict Tactics for Parent and Child, 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 such
 measure was the Conflict Tactics Scale for Parent and Child (CTSS).
 The CTSS, administered to the primary caregiver (PC) of subjects
 belonging to Cohorts 3 to 15, measured psychological and physical
 maltreatment and neglect of children by their PC, as well as
 nonviolent modes of discipline. The CTSS also measured the extent to
 which a PC carried out specific acts of physical and psychological
aggression, regardless of whether the child was injured.
Family, Peer and Neighborhood-level Protective Factors within the Developmental Assets Framework: A Longitudinal Analysis of Behavioral Adaptation for Urban Youth Exposed to Community Violence in Chicago, 1994-2002

This study used longitudinal data from 1,114 youth ages 11-16 and their neighborhoods from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods. Generalized estimating equations were used to examine whether baseline interpersonal and neighborhood protective factors predicted behavioral adjustment at waves 2 and 3 among youth who were victims of, witnesses of, or unexposed to violence, controlling for individual and neighborhood-level risks.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Conflict Tactics Scale for Partner and Spouse, 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

 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 Conflict Tactics Scale for Partner and Spouse
 (CTSP). The CTSP was administered to either the primary caregiver (PC)
 of subjects belonging to Cohorts 0 to 15, or to the subjects of Cohort
 18. It measured both the extent to which partners in a dating,
 cohabiting, or marital relationship engage in psychological and
 physical attacks on each other and also their use of reasoning or
negotiation to deal with conflicts.
Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN): Child Behavior Checklist, 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

 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 Child
 Behavior Checklist (CBCL). The CBCL protocol, administered to parents
 or primary caregivers, was first developed by Thomas M. Achenbach and
 has been one of the most widely-used standardized measures in child
 psychology for evaluating maladaptive behavioral and emotional
 problems in preschool subjects aged 2 to 3 or in subjects between the
 ages of 4 and 18. The PHDCN version of the CBCL was administered to
 primary caregivers of subjects belonging to Cohorts 3, 6, 9, 12, and
 15 of the Longitudinal Cohort Study, and it assessed internalizing
 (i.e., anxiety, depression, and overcontrolled) and externalizing
 (i.e., aggressive, hyperactivity, noncompliant, and undercontrolled)
 behaviors. Several subareas were measured, including withdrawn,
 somatic complaints, anxiety and depression, destructive behavior,
 social problems, thought problems, attention problems, aggressive
behavior, and delinquent behaviors.

Arrests As Communications to Criminals in St. Louis, 1970, 1972-1982    

This data collection was designed to assess the deterrent
effects over time of police sanctioning activity, specifically that of
arrests. Arrest and crime report data were collected from the
St. Louis Police Department and divided into two categories: all
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Part I crime reports, including
arrests, and Part I felony arrests. The police department also
generated geographical "x" and "y" coordinates corresponding to
the longitude and latitude where each crime and arrest took
place. Part 1 of this collection contains data on all reports made to
police regarding Part I felony crimes from 1970 to 1982 (excluding
1971). Parts 2-13 contain the yearly data that were concatenated into
one file for Part 1. Variables in Parts 2-13 include offense code,
census tract, police district, police area, city block, date of crime,
time crime occurred, value of property taken, and "x" and "y"
coordinates of crime and arrest locations. Part 14 contains data on
all Part I felony arrests. Included is information on offense charged,
the marital status, sex, and race of the person arrested, census tract
of arrest, and "x" and "y" coordinates.
Comparison of Drug Control Strategies in San Diego, 1989        

This study assesses the consequences for offenders of
 various drug enforcement strategies employed by the San Diego Police
 Department and profiles the factors that characterize street-level and
 mid-level dealers, drug users, and the drug market. The drug
 enforcement strategies examined include the use of search warrants,
 body wires, police decoys, surveillance, officer buys and sells,
 wiretaps, and sweeps. Measures of the consequences of arrests include
 drug and property seizures, convictions, and sentences. The data were
 drawn from police and court records of drug arrests made by three
 special sections of the police department in San Diego, California.
 Additionally, data were collected through personal interviews
 conducted at the time of arrest with a subsample of persons arrested
 for drug charges. The arrest tracking file, Part 1, contains
 demographic information about the offenders, including criminal
 history and gang membership, as well as data on each arrest through
 final disposition, charges, and sentencing. The interview portion of
 the study, Part 2, provides information about the demographics and
 characteristics of drug users and dealers, criminal history and drug
 use history, current arrest information, and offenders' opinions about
drug use, drug sales, police strategies, and the drug market.
Measuring Crime Rates of Prisoners in Colorado, 1988-1989

In the late 1970s, the Rand Corporation pioneered a method
of collecting crime rate statistics. They obtained reports of
offending behavior--types and frequencies of crimes
committed--directly from offenders serving prison sentences. The
current study extends this research by exploring the extent to which
variation in the methodological approach affects prisoners'
self-reports of criminal activity. If the crime rates reported in this
survey remained constant across methods, perhaps one of the new
techniques developed would be easier and/or less expensive to
administer. Also, the self-reported offending rate data for female
offenders in this collection represents the first time such data has
been collected for females. Male and female prisoners recently
admitted to the Diagnostic Unit of the Colorado Department of
Corrections were selected for participation in the study. Prisoners
were given one of two different survey instruments, referred to as the
long form and short form. Both questionnaires dealt with the number of
times respondents committed each of eight types of crimes during a
12-month measurement period. The crimes of interest were burglary,
robbery, assault, theft, auto theft, forgery/credit card and
check-writing crimes, fraud, and drug dealing. The long form of the
instrument focused on juvenile and adult criminal activity and covered
the offender's childhood and family. It also contained questions about
the offender's rap sheet as one of the bases for validating the
self-reported data. The crime count sections of the long form
contained questions about motivation, initiative, whether the offender
usually acted alone or with others, and if the crimes recorded
included crimes against people he or she knew. Long-form data are
given in Part 1. The short form of the survey had fewer or no
questions compared with the long form on areas such as the
respondent's rap sheet, the number of crimes committed as a juvenile,
the number of times the respondent was on probation or parole, the
respondent's childhood experiences, and the respondent's perception of
his criminal career. These data are contained in Part 2. In addition,
the surveys were administered under different conditions of
confidentiality. Prisoners given what were called "confidential"
interviews had their names identified with the survey. Those
interviewed under conditions of anonymity did not have their names
associated with the survey. The short forms were all administered
anonymously, while the long forms were either anonymous or
confidential. In addition to the surveys, data were collected from
official records, which are presented in Part 3. The official record
data collection form was designed to collect detailed criminal history
information, particularly during the measurement period identified in
the questionnaires, plus a number of demographic and drug-use items.
This information, when compared with the self-reported offense data
from the measurement period in both the short and long forms, allows a
validity analysis to be performed.
Techniques for Assessing the Accuracy of Recidivism Prediction Scales, 1960-1980: [Miami, Albuquerque, New York City, Alameda and Los Angeles Counties, and the State of California]

The purpose of this data collection was to measure the
 validity or accuracy of four recidivism prediction instruments: the
 INSLAW, RAND, SFS81, and CGR scales. These scales estimate the
 probability that criminals will commit subsequent crimes quickly, that
 individuals will commit crime frequently, that inmates who are
 eligible for release on parole will commit subsequent crimes, and that
 defendants awaiting trial will commit crimes while on pretrial arrest
 or detention. The investigators used longitudinal data from five
 existing independent studies to assess the validity of the four
 predictive measures in question. The first data file was originally
 collected by the Vera Institute of Justice in New York City and was
 derived from an experimental evaluation of a jobs training program
 called the Alternative Youth Employment Strategies Project implemented
 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Miami, Florida, and New York City, New
 York. The second file contains data from a RAND Corporation study,
 EFFECTS OF PRISON VERSUS PROBATION IN CALIFORNIA, 1980-1982 (ICPSR
 8700), from offenders in Alameda and Los Angeles counties,
 California. Parts 3 through 5 pertain to serious juvenile offenders
 who were incarcerated during the 1960s and 1970s in three institutions
 of the California Youth Authority. A portion of the original data for
 these parts was taken from EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF THE CHRONIC
 OFFENDER, [1978-1980: CALIFORNIA] (ICPSR 8226). All files present
 demographic and socioeconomic variables such as birth information,
 race and ethnicity, education background, work and military
 experience, and criminal history, including involvement in criminal
 activities, drug addiction, and incarceration episodes. From the
 variables in each data file, standard variables across all data files
 were constructed. Constructed variables included those on background
 (such as drug use, arrest, conviction, employment, and education
 history), which were used to construct the four predictive scales, and
 follow-up variables concerning arrest and incarceration
history. Scores on the four predictive scales were estimated.
Improving Evidence Collection Through Police-Prosecutor Coordination in Baltimore, 1984-1985

The purpose of this data collection was to investigate the 
 effects of changes in police evidence procedures and the effects of 
 providing feedback to officers on felony case charge reductions or 
 dismissals due to evidentiary problems. The data were designed to 
 permit an experimental assessment of the effectiveness of two police 
 evidence collection programs implemented on April 1, 1985. One of these 
 was an investigative and post-arrest procedural guide. The other was an 
 individualized feedback report prepared by prosecutors for police 
 officers. The officer file includes information on each officer's sex 
 and race, length of police service, and assignment changes during the 
 study period. Data on the offender and the case files include time of 
 arrest, information on arresting officer, original investigating 
 officer and principal investigating officer, offense and victim 
 characteristics, arrestee characteristics, available evidence, case 
processing information, and arrestee's criminal history.
Procedural Reform of Jury Murder Convictions in Georgia, 1970-1978

The purpose of this data collection was to assess the impact 
 of the 1973 reforms of the death penalty laws on the levels of 
 arbitrariness and discrimination in capital sentencing in Georgia. The 
 data cover two different periods corresponding to the periods before 
 and after the reform: 1970-1972 and 1973-1978. Numerous measures of 
 defendant blameworthiness were developed as a basis for assessing 
 levels of arbitrariness and discrimination in Georgia's capital 
 charging and sentencing system. Specific variables include race, sex, 
 current offense, prior conviction and arrests, method of killing, and 
number of victims.
Impact of Casino Gambling on Crime in the Atlantic City Region, 1970-1984

The aim of this data collection was to gauge the impact of 
 legalized casino gambling on the level and spatial distribution of 
 crime in the Atlantic City region by comparing crime rates before and 
 after the introduction of this type of gambling in the area. Data for 
 the years 1972 through 1984 were collected from various New Jersey 
 state publications for 64 localities and include information on 
 population size and density, population characteristics of race, age, 
 per capita income, education and home ownership, real estate values, 
 number of police employees and police expenditures, total city 
 expenditure, and number of burglaries, larcenies, robberies and vehicle 
 thefts. Spatial variables include population attributes standardized by 
 land area in square miles, and measures of accessibility, location, and 
 distance from Atlantic City. For the 1970/1980 data file, additional 
 variables pertaining to population characteristics were created from 
 census data to match economic and crime attributes found in the 
 1972-1984 data. Data on eight additional locations are available in the 
1970/1980 file.
Cross-Validation of the Iowa Offender Risk Assessment Model in Michigan, 1980-1982

These data were collected in an attempt to cross-validate 
 the 1984 and 1985 versions of the Iowa model for assessing risk of 
 offending while on parole by applying the model to a Michigan sample of 
 male parolees over a follow-up period of two and one-half years. 
 Different measures of predictors such as prior criminal history, 
 current offense, substance abuse history, age, and recidivism on parole 
 are available. The first file contains information on parolees such as 
 demographic characteristics, drug use history, prior criminal history, 
 risk scores, and parole history. The second file includes parolees' 
 detailed criminal histories including the total number of violent and 
 nonviolent felony arrests and dates, and charges and dispositions of 
each arrest with a maximum of eight arrests.
Firearms Violence and the Michigan Felony Firearm Law:  Detroit, 1976-1978

The purpose of this study was to estimate the impact of the
Michigan Firearm Law on the processing of defendants in Detroit's
Recorder's Court. Most variables in the study focus on the defendant
and on court processing decisions made at different stages. Special
attention was given to determining the presence and use of firearms
and other weapons in each offense. Variables included are gender and
race of the defendant, original charges, type of counsel, amount of
bail, felony firearm charged, number of convictions, race of the
victim, firearm used, judge, and sentence.
Homicides in Chicago, 1965-1995

These datasets contain information on every homicide in the
 murder analysis files of the Chicago Police Department for the years
 1965-1995. For the victim-level file, Part 1, data are provided on the
 relationship of victim to offender, whether the victim or offender had
 previously committed a violent or nonviolent offense, time of
 occurrence and place of homicide, type of weapon used, cause and
 motivation for the incident, whether the incident involved drugs,
 alcohol, gangs, child abuse, or a domestic relationship, if or how the
 offender was identified, and information on the death of the
 offender(s). Demographic variables such as the age, sex, and race of
 each victim and offender are also provided. The victim-level file
 contains one record for each victim. Information for up to five
 offenders is included on each victim record. The same offender
 information is duplicated depending on the number of victims. For
 example, if a sole offender is responsible for five victims, the file
 contains five victim records with the offender's information repeated
 on each record. Part 2, Offender-Level Data, is provided to allow the
 creation of offender rates and risk analysis that could not be
 accurately prepared using the victim-level file due to the repeating
 of the offender information on each victim record. Offender variables
 were reorganized during the creation of the offender file so that each
 known offender is associated with a single record. A majority of the
 variables in the offender-level file are replicas of variables in the
 victim-level file. The offender records contain demographic
 information about the offender, demographic and relationship
 information about the offender's first victim (or sole victim if there
 was only one), and information about the homicide incident.
 Information pertaining to the homicide incident such as location,
 weapon, or drug use are the same as in the victim-level file. In cases
 where the offender data were completely missing in the victim-level
 data, no offender records were generated in the offender-level
 file. The offender-level data do not contain information about the
 victims in these cases. Geographic variables in both files include the
census tract, community area, police district, and police area.
