Crime Commission Rates Among Incarcerated Felons in Nebraska, 1986-1990
Description
These data focus on rates of criminal offending obtained
through the use of self-report surveys. Specifically, the study
investigates whether two different types of self-report surveys
produce different estimates of lambda, an individual's frequency of
criminal offending. The surveys, which were administered during
personal interviews with inmates in Nebraska prisons, differed in how
respondents were asked about their frequency of criminal offending.
The more detailed survey asked respondents to indicate their offenses
on a month-by-month basis for the reporting period. The less detailed
survey only asked respondents to indicate their offending for the
entire reporting period. These data also provide information on the
relationship between race and offending frequencies, the rates of
offending over time and by crime category, and the individual's
subjective probability of punishment and offending frequency. The
specific crimes targeted in this collection include burglary, business
robbery, personal robbery, assault, theft, forgery, fraud, drug
dealing, and rape. All respondents were asked questions on criminal
history, substance abuse, attitudes about crime and the judicial
system, predictions of future criminal behavior, and demographic
information, including age, race, education, and marital status.
