Disturbed Violent Offenders in New York, 1985
Description
This data collection was designed to investigate the
relationship between mental illness and violent involvement over an
offender's criminal career and to develop a typology of violent
offenders that takes into account both mental health history and
substance use history. The collection is organized so that data for the
violent offender cohort can be matched with records of offender mental
health history, substance abuse history, and criminal career history.
The offenders were convicted of statutorily-defined "violent
offenses." Included in the collection are variables concerning
conviction offenses, intoxication status, victim-offender relationship,
injury result, type of violence, employment, marital status, gender,
and race. The criminal history file contains variables on dates of
arrest or juvenile contacts. The mental history file includes dates of
entry and types of mental health services received.
