Early Identification of the Chronic Offender, [1978-1980: California]
Description
Patterns of adult criminal behavior are examined in this
data collection. Data covering the adult years of peak criminal
activity (from approximately 18 to 26 years of age) were obtained from
samples of delinquent youths who had been incarcerated in three
California Youth Authority institutions during the 1960s: Preston,
Fricot, and the Northern California Youth Center. Data were obtained
from three sources: official arrest records of the California Bureau of
Criminal Investigation and Identification (CII), supplementary data
from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the California Bureau of
Vital Statistics. Follow-up data were collected between 1978 and 1981.
There are two files per sample site. The first is a background data
file containing information obtained while the subjects were housed in
Youth Authority institutions, and the second is a follow-up history
offense file containing data from arrest records. Each individual is
identified by a unique ID number, which is the same in the background
and offense history files.
