It provides alternative model specifications and\r\nestimations. The study examined the deterrent effects of punishment on\r\nseven FBI index crimes: murder, rape, assault, larceny, robbery,\r\nburglary, and auto theft. Socio-economic variables include family\r\nincome, percentage of families earning below half of the median income,\r\nunemployment rate for urban males in the age groups 14-24 and 35-39,\r\nlabor force participation rate, educational level, percentage of young\r\nmales and non-whites in the population, percentage of population in the\r\nSMSA, sex ratio, and place of occurrence. Two sanction variables are\r\nalso included: 1) the probability of imprisonment, and 2) the average\r\ntime served in prison when sentenced (severity of punishment). Also\r\nincluded are: per capita police expenditure for 1959 and 1960, and the\r\ncrime rates for murder, rape, assault, larceny, robbery, burglary, and\r\nauto theft.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR08677.v1", "title": "Participation in Illegitimate Activities:  Ehrlich Revisited, 1960"}], "identifier": "3086", "issued": "1987-10-12T00:00:00", "keyword": ["assault", "auto theft", "burglary", "crime", "crime prevention", "criminal justice system", "demographic characteristics", "education", "income", "larceny", "low income groups", "murder", "police protection", "rape", "robbery", "sentencing", "unemployment"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "1992-02-16T00:00:00", "programCode": ["011:060"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "National Institute of Justice", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "Participation in Illegitimate Activities:  Ehrlich Revisited, 1960"}
