Longitudinal Study of Biosocial Factors Related to Crime and Delinquency, 1959-1962: [Pennsylvania]
Description
This study was designed to measure the effects of family
background and developmental characteristics on school achievement and
delinquency within a "high risk" sample of Black youths. The study
includes variables describing the mother and the child. Mother-related
variables assess prenatal health, pregnancy and delivery
complications, and socioeconomic status. Child-related variables focus
on the child at age 7 and include place in birth order, physical
development, family constellation, socioeconomic status, verbal and
spatial intelligence, and number of offenses.
