Trajectories of Violent Offending and Risk Status Across Adolescence and Early Adulthood, 1976-1986 [United States]
Description
This study investigated violent offending in adolescence
and early adulthood with an aim of building practical knowledge to
guide prevention programs and policies. The study examined risk
factors that influence violent offending and described how offending
and risk levels change over adolescence and into early adulthood. The
study used data from Waves I to VII of the NATIONAL YOUTH SURVEY
(NYS), conducted by Delbert Elliott between 1977 and 1987. Separate
datasets for Waves I to VII were merged to create a single
longitudinal dataset, using SAS system software. The NYS includes
baseline information on youth and family background and demographic
characteristics, as well as longitudinal data on the behaviors and
attitudes of youths, and youths' perceptions of parent, neighborhood,
and peer group factors.
