To\r\naddress these issues, the post-release arrest patterns of two cohorts\r\nof male youths paroled by the California Youth Authority in 1981-1982\r\nand 1986-1987 were examined. The project focused on modeling the\r\nfrequency of recidivism and the correlates of arrest frequency. The\r\nfrequency of arrest was measured during two periods: the first year\r\nfollowing release and years two and three following release. Criminal\r\njustice variables in this collection provide information on\r\ncounty-level crime and clearance rates for violent and property crimes\r\nknown to the police. Measures of parolees' criminal history include\r\nlength of incarceration prior to current commitment, frequency of\r\narrest, age at first arrest, and calculated criminal history\r\nscores. Personal and family characteristics include previous violent\r\nbehavior, alcohol and drug abuse, family violence, neglect or abuse,\r\ndegree of parental supervision, parental criminality, education, and\r\nschool disciplinary problems. Demographic variables include age and\r\nrace of the subjects.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02588.v1", "title": "Frequency of Arrest of the Young, Chronic, Serious Offender Using Two Male Cohorts Paroled by the California Youth Authority, 1981-1982 and 1986-1987"}], "identifier": "3709", "issued": "1999-06-16T00:00:00", "keyword": ["arrest records", "arrests", "clearance rates", "crime rates", "criminal histories", "juvenile offenders", "male offenders", "parolees", "recidivism rates", "recidivists", "youths"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2005-11-04T00:00:00", "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": "Frequency of Arrest of the Young, Chronic, Serious Offender Using Two Male Cohorts Paroled by the California Youth Authority, 1981-1982 and 1986-1987"}
