This data collection\r\nconsists of the syntax for a SAS macro used to estimate individual\r\nspecific offending micro-trajectories, project counterfactual\r\ntrajectories, and to assess the actual post-release offending patterns\r\nagainst the backdrop of these counterfactuals. The arrest records of\r\nindividuals were clustered in chronological order and were truncated\r\nafter the first post-release re-arrest event. The key independent\r\nvariables used in estimating the pre-release criminal history\r\naccumulation process included the arrest number, the age at first\r\narrest, whether or not the individual was confined as a result of the\r\nprevious arrest event, and a measure of the number of years taken to\r\nreach each arrest event cumulated through the last arrest event. The\r\nsame set of basic variables were used to model first re-arrest after\r\nrelease (recidivism).", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR04578.v1", "title": "Effects of Incarceration on Criminal Trajectories in the United States, 1994"}], "identifier": "2934", "issued": "2007-02-05T00:00:00", "keyword": ["arrest records", "conviction records", "criminal histories", "recidivism"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2007-02-05T00:00:00", "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": "Effects of Incarceration on Criminal Trajectories in the United States, 1994"}
