Sanctions in the Justice System, 1942-1977: The Effects on Offenders in Racine, Wisconsin
The purpose of this data collection was to evaluate the
effectiveness of judicial intervention and varying degrees of sanction
severity by comparing persons who have been processed at the juvenile
or adult level in the justice system with persons who have not. The
main research question was whether the number of judicial interventions
and severity of sanctions had any effects on the seriousness of
offenders' future offenses or the decision to desist from such
behavior. Variables include characteristics of the person who had the
police contact as well as items specific to a particular police
contact. Others are the number of police contacts, seriousness of
police contacts, severity of sanctions, and age, cohort, and decade the
contact occurred.
