The following questions are addressed by the data: (1)\r\nWhat \"types\" of narcotic addicts can be distinguished in terms of\r\ntheir criminal behavior? Which of these types are amenable to\r\nrehabilitation? (2) At what time during their addiction careers do\r\naddicts commit the most crime? Do narcotic addicts \"mature\" out of\r\naddiction? (3) What is the relationship between individuals'\r\ninvolvement in crime prior to addiction and their criminal activity\r\nand drug use over their addiction career? (4) Which demographic,\r\npersonality, or other factors are associated with serious crime\r\ncommitted during periods of narcotic addiction? (5) What are the\r\ncontributions of situational and dispositional factors to the\r\nrelationship between addiction and crime? Part 1 of the collection\r\ndetails the subjects' addiction careers, the age they first used\r\nvarious drugs, the age they first became addicted to narcotics, the\r\namount of time they were addicted/not addicted to narcotics, and the\r\ntotal length of their addiction careers. Part 2 contains variables\r\ngenerated by cluster analysis, including cluster assignment or \"type.\"\r\nPart 3 includes the educational, occupational, and arrest histories of\r\nthe subjects, as well as the drug use and arrest histories of their\r\nfamilies. The Part 4 file consists of Minnesota Multiphasic\r\nPersonality Inventory and Raven Progressive Matrix scores. The\r\nfrequency and types of crime that subjects committed during the\r\npreaddiction period comprise Part 5, while the frequency and nature of\r\ndrug use during the preaddiction period comprise Part 6. Parts 7 and 8\r\ncontain crime variables and drug use variables, respectively, across\r\nall nonaddiction periods. Finally, Part 9 contains data characterizing\r\ncrime across all addiction periods, and Part 10 contains variables\r\nregarding drug use across total addiction periods.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR09586.v2", "title": "Variations in Criminal Patterns Among Narcotic Addicts in Baltimore and New York City, 1983-1984"}], "identifier": "3604", "issued": "1991-10-23T00:00:00", "keyword": ["addiction", "controlled drugs", "crime patterns", "criminality prediction", "demographic characteristics", "drug dependence", "drug treatment", "personality", "rehabilitation"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2013-05-15T14:44:12", "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": "Variations in Criminal Patterns Among Narcotic Addicts in Baltimore and New York City, 1983-1984"}
