Corrections--UnitedStates--<strong>Statistics</strong>.J. Author. II. Title.~ I 'ThIs is the eleventh annual edition <strong>of</strong> theSOURCEBOOK OF CRIMINAL JUSTICESTATISTICS. The rationale underlying thedevelopment <strong>of</strong> this compendium is as importanttoday as it was II years ago when the firstedition was prepared. Briefly, it was felt thatdespite a growing sophistication in the generalarea <strong>of</strong> criminal justice data bases andstati,stical information systems, many <strong>of</strong> thesestatistics were not widely known, much lessutilized, by those in the criminal justice field.,In part, this situation is due to the functionalfragmentation <strong>of</strong> the many components <strong>of</strong> thecriminal justice system in the United States.<strong>Criminal</strong> justice statistical information isroutinely collected by thousands <strong>of</strong> Federal,State, and local agencies, but systemat i caggregation <strong>of</strong> these data at the national' levelis impeded by definitional, jurisdictional, andhistorical barriers. In addition, budgetaryconstraints and reallocation <strong>of</strong> limited agencyfunds has in some cases diminished access tostatistical data because the collection anddissemination <strong>of</strong> this information has beencurtailed. Therefore, the primary goal <strong>of</strong> theSOURCEBOOK OF CRIMINAL JUSTICESTATISTICS has been to bring together into asingle, comprehensive, reference volumeexisti'ng nationwide statistical data <strong>of</strong> interestto the broad criminal justice community. Assuch, SOURCEBOOK staff have made aconcerted effort to identify published andunpublished materials that span agency,governmenta I, and funct i ona II y-spec ifi cboundari es. The di ssemi nat i on <strong>of</strong> t hisinformation in an easy-to-use single volumeformat is intended to make these data avai lableto users in an economical manner.The data included in this compilation arealmost exclusively nationwide in scope. Ininstances where information is avai lable onlyfor groups <strong>of</strong> cities, States, and jurisdictions,these data are included if the topic representsan area <strong>of</strong> important substantive concern tothe criminal justice field. Whenever possible,nationwide data are displayed by regions,States, or cities, both to enhance the uti Iity <strong>of</strong>the information for local decisionmakers and t<strong>of</strong>acilitate comparative analyses. An effort hasbeen made to focus on State and local datarather than on Federal data because Federalagencies handle only a small portion <strong>of</strong> crimerelatedtransactions, and these Federaltransact ions may not be representative <strong>of</strong> thevolume and nature <strong>of</strong> criminal justicetransactions at other levels <strong>of</strong> government.However, data relating to the FederalGovernment are <strong>of</strong>ten presented in theSOLRCEB()()


<strong>Sourcebook</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Criminal</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> <strong>Statistics</strong> 198:>.. -Nation, report on the estimated number andrate <strong>of</strong> personal and household victimizations.These data are supplemented by a variety<strong>of</strong> data derived from self-report surveys ondrug and alcohol use, and other illegalactivities that are reported by severalorganizations. Agencies with specialized lawenforcement functions, such as the Securitiesand Exchange Commission, Postal InspectionService, Drug Enforcement Administration,Secret Service, and others collect limitedstatistical information on case processing andagency activities. In addition, privateorganizations such as the Association <strong>of</strong>American Railroads, American HumaneAssociation, and National Education Associationpublish data on various forms <strong>of</strong> illegal activityrelated to their organizational purposes.Information on personnel andexpenditures for the criminal justice system isfound in a variet)1 <strong>of</strong> sources. Governmentpubl ications, such as the Budget <strong>of</strong> theUnited States Government and agency annualreports, provide data on expenditures forcriminal justice-related activities. The <strong>Bureau</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> <strong>Statistics</strong>' publication, <strong>Justice</strong>Expenditure and Employment Data in theU.S., compiles data on criminal justice agencypersonnel, payroll, and expenditure. Variousspecial surveys, such as the Census <strong>of</strong> StateCorrectional Facilities, contain informationon personnel, source <strong>of</strong> funding, andexpenditures for these segments <strong>of</strong> the criminaljustice system. These sources are augmentedby surveys conducted by the i\JOtional Centerfor State Courts, the National Counc i I onCrime and Delinquency, the AmericanCorrectional Association, the National Sheriff'sAssociation, and other groups.Data on clearance and arrest rates arereported primarily in the FBI's Crime in theUnited States. In addition, agencies such asthe Drug Enforcement Administration,Immigration and Naturalization Service, andothers collect data on clearances and arrestsin cases under their jurisdiction.Court-related data for the Federalsystem come from the Administrative Office <strong>of</strong>the U.S. Courts and the Federal Prison System.Although no uniform standardized courtrepor1ing system (comparable to the UniformCrime Reporting Program) currently exists atthe State level, the <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong><strong>Statistics</strong>' publication, State Court Caseload<strong>Statistics</strong>, contains State-by-State informationrelating to the activities <strong>of</strong> State courts.Data on probation systems are providedby the Administrative Office <strong>of</strong> the U.S. Courtsand the National Probation Reports programiv<strong>of</strong> the National Council on Crime andDelinquency. Information on persons incorrectional institutions is found in a number <strong>of</strong>sources, including the Prisoners in State andFederal Institutions series publ ished by the<strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> <strong>Statistics</strong>. Information onFederal prisoners is available in the annualStatistical Report <strong>of</strong> the Federal PrisonSystem. In addition to these sources, data onprison populations and characteristics <strong>of</strong>correctional facilities and inmates are providedby surveys conducted by the AmericanCorrectional Association and numerous privateresearch groups and individual researchers.Detailed information on inmates executed andon death row is published annually by the U.S •Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong>, <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong><strong>Statistics</strong> series on Capital Punishmf,mt.<strong>Statistics</strong> on parole services arecollected and reported by the Unifc)rm ParoleReports program <strong>of</strong> the National Council onCrime and Delinquency, and by the AmericanCorrectional Association, and the U.S. ParoleCommissi on. Discharges from State andFederal correctional facilities are reported inthe Prisoners in State and FederalInstitutions series issued by the <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Justice</strong> <strong>Statistics</strong>.In the juvenile ju~ !:ice system, data on<strong>of</strong>fenses and on j uven i I es taken into custodyare reported by the Federal <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong>Investigation's Crime in the United States.Data on the volume <strong>of</strong> cases disposed <strong>of</strong> byjuvenile courts are provided in Delinquency1980 by the National Center for Juven i Ie<strong>Justice</strong>.Juvenile correctional data are providedby a number <strong>of</strong> sources. The Children inCustody series issued by the Office <strong>of</strong> Juvenile<strong>Justice</strong> and Delinquency Prevention <strong>of</strong> the U.S.Department <strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> reports data on thenumber <strong>of</strong> juveniles held in public and privatejuvenile correctional facilities. Data on theestimated number <strong>of</strong> juveniles confined in localjails are reported in the Survey <strong>of</strong> JailI nmates, published by the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong><strong>Justice</strong>. To date there is no nationwidereporting system that collects data on parole("aftercare") outcome for juveniles.Information regarding public opinion oncriminal justice issues is obtained from avariety <strong>of</strong> groups such as The Gallup Poll, LouisHarris and Associates, the National OpinionResearch Center, the ABC-W\Jshington PostPoll, and the N3C News/Associated Press Pollas well as a variety <strong>of</strong> governmental agenciesand conmissions.

The new circuit was created by theremoval <strong>of</strong> Alabama, Florida, and Georgia from the Fifth Circuitand the reorganization <strong>of</strong> these courts Into the Eleventh Circuit.Beginning with the year ending June 30, 1976, U.S. DistrictCourts have reported the number <strong>of</strong> minor <strong>of</strong>fense cases filed inthe Federal courts in addition to the number <strong>of</strong> felonies andmisdemeanors above the minor <strong>of</strong>fense level (<strong>of</strong>fenses Involvingpenalties that do not exceed I year Imprisonment or a fine <strong>of</strong>more than $1,000). This additional reporting resulted from theSpeedy Trial Act <strong>of</strong> 1974 (Public Law 93-619), which required thecourts to maintain records on all <strong>of</strong>fenses above the petty <strong>of</strong>fenselevel (<strong>of</strong>fenses involving penalties that do not exceed 6 monthsIncarceration and/or a fine <strong>of</strong> not mare than $50U). Because themajority <strong>of</strong> miner <strong>of</strong>fense cases are handled by magistrates inFederal courts and because this report is primarily a statisticalstatement reflecting the workload per authorized judgeship, theminor <strong>of</strong>fense cases have been excluded from the 1976-79 data byDistrict 1969 1970 i971 1972 1973 1974FIRST CIRCUITMaine 57 93 143 126 91 89Massachusetts 53 69 90 108 62 63New I-bnpshire 57 90 80 74 65 48Rhode Island 41 39 41 59 57 63Puerto Rico 128 80 59 136 87 62SEC(N) CIRCUITConnecticut 66 66 72 85 90 91New York:N:>rth 72 74 79 154 122 84East 58 72 144 158 126 99South 42 34 50 55 46 42West 84 67 65 81 196 109Vermont 16 29 32 51 49 69THIRD CIRCUITDelaware 23 24 26 43 37 32New Jersey 70 54 78 79 75 57Pfmnsylvanla:East 33 35 42 38 37 37Middle 50 41 39 4H 58 68West 39 32 29 33 31 38Virgin Islands 227 134 III 163 120 133FCXRTH CIRCUITMaryland 109 71 71 90 91 101N:>rth Carolina:East 149 118 100 117 107 121Middle 138 131 155 175 192 174West 155 149 152 178 120 141South Carolina 65 62 66 97 78 92Virginia:East 129 131 161 163 151 159West 77 86 120 120 110 127West Virginia:N:>rth 1U9 112 89 76 73 57South 122 77 85 70 70 74the Administrative Office <strong>of</strong> the United States Courts. Theexclusion <strong>of</strong> these cases from the workload statistics hm beendone In an effort to make- the 1976-79 data mare ~able toprevious years' data that did not Include most minor <strong>of</strong>fensecases. In 1979, the Federlll Magistrates Act (Public Law 96-82)expanded the authority <strong>of</strong> magistrates to dispose <strong>of</strong> allmisdemeanors. To reflect the workload per authorized judgeship,the 1980-82 data exclude aU cases below the felony level.Data for 1979 are provided In two columns In order toreflect the efforts <strong>of</strong> individual judges before and after theenactment <strong>of</strong> the Qmlbus Judgeship Act (Public Law 95-486),which became effective Oct. 20, 1978. Because the Increase Inauthorized judgeships became effective midway through the yearand most <strong>of</strong> the nrlwly authorized positions were not filled byJune 30, 1979, COITVlutations based only on the newly authorizedjudgeships do not give an accurate Indication <strong>of</strong> the efforts <strong>of</strong>individuai Judges.The sharp decline in criminal cases flied in the Canol Zoneafter 1979 resulted from the passage <strong>of</strong> the Panana Canal Act <strong>of</strong>1979 (Public Law 96-70), signed Sept. 27, 1979.

"Waiver" is theprocedure by which COUl-t jurisdiction is determined fora youth whose alleged conduct, if committed by onadult, would constitute a crime. Waiver, also referredto as transfer or certification, generally involvesremoval <strong>of</strong> a case from the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> the juvenilecourt to that <strong>of</strong> the criminal court. I-hwever, in someStates the criminal court exercises initial jurisdictionover a case and may waive or transfer jurisdictionback to the juvenile court. States may also have acombination <strong>of</strong> these waiver provisions; depending onthe age <strong>of</strong> the alleged affender and/or the <strong>of</strong>fense, thecase may be transferred to or from criminal caurt.This table presents information only for provisionsgoverning the waiver <strong>of</strong> youth from juvenile tocriminal court; far informatian an provisions relatingto transfers from criminal court, see Source.

<strong>Sourcebook</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Criminal</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> <strong>Statistics</strong> 19S3Table I.SO Statutory provisions related to alcohol use and driving, by jurisdictionI'OTE: See I'OTE, Table 1.77. The evidentiary weight given to bload alcC"1CJI concentrationlevels generally falls into one <strong>of</strong> two categories. ''Presumption at 0.10 percent" indicatesthat such a level <strong>of</strong> blood alcohol concentration creates a presumption <strong>of</strong> intoxication in acourt <strong>of</strong> law. "Illegal per se at 0.10 percent" indicates that such a level <strong>of</strong> blood alcoholconcentration is considered conclusive evidence <strong>of</strong> intoxication in a court <strong>of</strong> law. Statutoryprovisions <strong>of</strong> several jurisdictions treat the 0.10 percent level as both presumptive andillegal per se evidence <strong>of</strong> driving under th: influence. ,This appears t~ be the res~lt <strong>of</strong>States having adopted one <strong>of</strong> the standards without amending statutes which had previouslyauthorized the other standard. In such cases, the actual statutes should be consulted forclarification. "Open container laws" refer to laws prohibiting The possession <strong>of</strong> apencontainers <strong>of</strong> alcoholic beverages in the passenger compartment <strong>of</strong> a motor vehicle. "Dramshop lows" refer to laws which make owners <strong>of</strong> drinking establl~~ments civill~ l!a~le f~rserving alcohol to an intoxicated patron who th~n ~oes out and Injures anot~er ~ndlvldu

In addition,mach i ne -readab Ie data pro vi ded by theNational Opinion Research Center from itsGeneral Social Surveys were tabulated bySOlRCEBOO< staff and are included in thisedition, as are tables produced from the ABCNews Poll on crime, provided to SOLRCEBOOKby the <strong>Criminal</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> Archive andInformation Network <strong>of</strong> the Inter-universityConsortium for Political and Social Research.The majority <strong>of</strong> the opinion surveysconta i ned in this section drew samples <strong>of</strong>households designed to be representative <strong>of</strong>households in the continental United States.Respondents were then selected from thesehouseholds and interviewed. For a description<strong>of</strong> the general survey sampling procedures <strong>of</strong>The Gallup Poll, the National Opinion ResearchCenter, Louis H:lrris and Associates, the ABCNews-Washington Post Poll, and the N3C Newsand The Associated Press Poll, see .A.ppendix 7.A detailed description <strong>of</strong> a large survey oncrime, the ABC News Crime Poll, is presentedin Appendix 8.The wide range <strong>of</strong> topics examined inthese opinion surveys includes fear <strong>of</strong> crimeand victimization; public attitudes about crimeand its causes; the relative seriousne~s <strong>of</strong>crime as a social problem; juvenile crime;neighborhood crime-watch programs;performance <strong>of</strong> law enforcement and the U.S.Supreme Court; sentencing and the deathpenalty; the dangerousness and effects <strong>of</strong> drugsand alcohol; gun ownership and gun control;abuse <strong>of</strong> children, spouses, and the elderly;prison reform and construction; and thelegalization <strong>of</strong> various <strong>of</strong>fenses.The survey results are generally brokendown by background characterist ics <strong>of</strong>respondents--such as race, sex, age, andincome--enabling comparisons across importantsocial dimensions. Finally, because some <strong>of</strong> thesame questions have been asked repeatedl y bya given source over the years, many trendtables have been constructed by SOlRCEBOOKstaff and are presented in this section.aSome States have separate data element segments for their courts It is no\'::.d In the table as lower court stage <strong>of</strong>lower and upper courts.

On a monthly basis, lawenforcement agencies (police, sheriffs, and State police) report thenumber <strong>of</strong> affenses that become Imown to them in the fallowing crimecategories: murder and nannegligent manslaughter, manslaughter bynegligence, forcible rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny-theft, andmotor vehicle theft. A count <strong>of</strong> these crimes, which are known as PartI affenses, is taken from records <strong>of</strong> all complaints af crime received bylow enforcement agencies from victims or other sources and/or from<strong>of</strong>ficers who discovered the affenses. Whenever complaints <strong>of</strong> crime aredetermined through investigation to be unfounded or false, they areeliminated from the actual count (SrJurce, p. 2).The Unifarm Crime Reporting Program uses seven crimecategaries tQ establish a "crime index" in order to measure the trendand distribution <strong>of</strong> crime in the United States. Crime index <strong>of</strong>fensesinclude murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, farcible rape, rabbery,aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and matar vehicle theft;the "Total Crime Il'idex" is a simple sum <strong>of</strong> the index affenses. Arsonwas designated as a Part I Index <strong>of</strong>fense in October 1978; datacollection was begun in 1979. However, due to the incompleteness <strong>of</strong>arson reporting by police in 1979 and 1980, arson data are notdisplayed nor are they included in the Total Crime Index <strong>of</strong> the<strong>of</strong>fenses knawn to the palice., The figuNls in this table are subject to updating by the UniformCrime Reporting Program. The number <strong>of</strong> agencies reporting andpapulations represented may vary from year to year. This table, Table3.58, and Table 3.59 present estimates for the United States arparticular areas based on agencies reporting.

The sample is selected 1'0 include "only those exhibits which fall within a certain range <strong>of</strong> valuesrepresentative <strong>of</strong> a retail level <strong>of</strong> the illicit market." Beginning in 197tl, the estimated nationol average Is derived from regional averagesweighted for the "intensity <strong>of</strong> the narcotic problem." That is, through statistical procedures, a lorge number <strong>of</strong> transactions In one locationare clustered to limit their influence on heroin price and purity statistics in the sample group (Source, 1979, p. 34).Cocain~ prices are derived from :,., Cocaine Retail Price Index, which is based upon evidence exhibits purchased by the DrugEnforcement .A.cministration (Source, 197'), p. 37).In 1979 and 19110, prices <strong>of</strong> dangerous drugs (marihuana, h~'shish, LSD, PCP, barbiturates, and amphetamines) were based an reports forthe last quarter <strong>of</strong> each year submitted by Drug Enforcerr~"t Administra1:ion's field <strong>of</strong>fices in 24 large metropolitan areas.

The sunmary statistics collected bythe FB I on arrests involve--for each <strong>of</strong>fenseclassification--breakdowli by the age, sex, andrace <strong>of</strong> arrestees, as well as arrest rates forpopulation size groups. In 1981, policeagencies representing approximately 97 percent<strong>of</strong> the Nation's population reported arrest datato the FB I. On each arrest table, the number<strong>of</strong> police agencies reporting and the populationliving within the jurisdictions <strong>of</strong> these agenciesare reported.According to the Uniform CrimeReporting guidelines, an arrest is counted"each time an individual is taken into custodyfor committing a specific crime .."(If the<strong>of</strong>fender taken into custody is a juvenile andthe circumstances are such that if Ihe/she werean adult an arrest would be made, an arrest iscounted.) The same person may be arrestedseveral 'times in the course <strong>of</strong> a year. Thus,the number <strong>of</strong> arrests is not simply a measure<strong>of</strong> people arrested.The number <strong>of</strong> arrests made by the policeis an indicator <strong>of</strong> police activity. However,because the police are called upon to performa number <strong>of</strong> functions, the number <strong>of</strong> arrests______, "0.measures only one aspect <strong>of</strong> police activity.Another indicator presented by the UniformCrime Reporting Program for each <strong>of</strong>fense isthe "clearance rate"--that is, the ratio <strong>of</strong> thenumber <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenses <strong>of</strong> that type for which atleast one person has been arrested, charged,and turned over to the court for prosecution,to the number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenses <strong>of</strong> that type knownto the police.

- ---------~Expenditure and Employment Data for the <strong>Criminal</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> System-­Survey methodology and definitions <strong>of</strong> termsNJTE: The following information was provided by the <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> <strong>Statistics</strong> and the U.S.<strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Census.Survey methodologyAs in previous editions <strong>of</strong> this annual publication, several tablesshow comparisons <strong>of</strong> criminal justice expenditure and full-timeequivalent employment with the total general expenditure and full-timeequivalent employment for all functions <strong>of</strong> the particular government orlevel c.f government. Prior to the fiscal year 1971 report, localgovernment total expenditure and full-time equivalent employmentincluded data for independent school districts and special districts aswell as for general local governments, i.e., counties, municipalities, andtownships. Beginning with the 1970-71 report, however,' the totalgeneral expenditure and total full-time equivalent employment figuresshown for the "local" level <strong>of</strong> government in these comparisons includedata for units <strong>of</strong> general local government only.The "variable pass-through" provisions <strong>of</strong> the Omibus CrimeControl Act <strong>of</strong> 1970 reqUired that the concept <strong>of</strong> "local" government beconfined to units <strong>of</strong> general local government in determining the ratio<strong>of</strong> State-to-Iocal government criminal justice expenditure. Beginningwith the fiscal year 1971 report, the same concept was appliedconsistently throughout the publication to reflect the intent <strong>of</strong> the low.Therefore, the total general expenditure and total full-time equivalentemployment figures used for comporison with criminal justice figures donot include indepmdent school districts or special districts. Thischange may result in significant differences from the percentages shownfor years prior to fiscal year 1971 in those States where education islargely the responsibility <strong>of</strong> independent school districts, or wherethere are large special districts. <strong>Criminal</strong> justice e)tpenditure andemployment data in this series have always been for units <strong>of</strong> generallocal government only. As in previous reports, however, Appendix I <strong>of</strong>the Source shows those independent school districts and specialdistricts having significant special police expenditures and employment.In addition, Appendix I <strong>of</strong> the Source includes seporate data for campuspolice <strong>of</strong> colleges and universities that are dependent agencies <strong>of</strong> Stateand local governments--data that are also included in the summaryfigures for State and local governments.Readers should be generally cautious in compllring governments,because other differences in functional responsibilities from State-to­State and government-to-government can also affect the comparability<strong>of</strong> expenditure and employment data. For example, some Stategovernments directly administer certain activities that elsewhere areundertaken by local governments, with or without fiscal aid, and thesame variation in the division <strong>of</strong> responsibilities exists for counties andcities. Sampling error and response error are discussed in the followingsection.The documents used to collect data did not ,-:onsistently providefull itemization <strong>of</strong> expenditure or employmp.·nt for the sectorsubcotegories presented in this report. As a resull, sector breakdownsmay be incomplete for porticular governmental units.Because <strong>of</strong> rounding, the detail data in some tables may not oddprecisely to the totals shown.Survey coverageThe survey covered the Federal Government, (III Stategovernments, and a representutive sample <strong>of</strong> local governments withineach State. Data were collected for all county governments(regardless <strong>of</strong> size), for all municipolities (and townships in ~he NewEngland and Middle Atlantic States) having a 1977 populaTion <strong>of</strong> 10,000or more, and for a sample <strong>of</strong> the remaining municipalities and townshipswith less than 10,000 population, selected according to the relativesize <strong>of</strong> their annual expenditures as reported in the 1977 Cel'lSus <strong>of</strong>Governments. The survey panel included the Federal Government, the5U State governments, and 11,855 local governments (3,040 countygovernments, 6,728 municipalities, and 2,067 townships).The sa.'nple selected to develop local government figures Is one <strong>of</strong>all possible samples <strong>of</strong> the same size that could have been chosen usingthe same sampling design. Estimates derived from these differentsamples would differ from each other, and also from a complete censususing the same data collection procedures. This variation O!nong allpossible estimates is ~ompling error. Because all St"fe end countygovernments were included in the surVf~y, State and r- ;\''f1ty figures arenot subject to sampling error.The local government sample was delligned to produce anestimate for each State <strong>of</strong> the portion <strong>of</strong> total criminal justiceexpenditures made by local governments with a relative sampling error{)f less than one-half <strong>of</strong> I percent.The data are also subject to the inaccuracies In classification,response, and processing that would occur if a complete census hadbeen conducted under the same conditions as the sample survey. Everyeffort was made to keep such errors to a minim'Jm through core Inexamining, editing, and tabulating the data submitted by government<strong>of</strong>ficials. Follow-up procedures were used ~xter.sively to clarifyInadequate and inconsistent survey returns.Survey periodFederal Government data are shown for fiscal yeor 1979, whichbegan on Oct. I, 1978 and ended Sept. 30, 1979.The State expenditure data presented in this report cover thefiscal year ending June 30, 1979 for all Sfates except four who~e fiscalyears ended as follows: New York, Mar. 31, 1979; Texas, Aug. 31, 1979;and Alabama and Michigan, Sept. 30, 1979. However, there are someState agencies that operate on a different fiscal year basis from therest <strong>of</strong> the State government. In such instances, figures shown are forthe agency's fiscal year that ended within the State's regular fiscalyear.For local governments, the 1979 fiscal years reported are thoseclosed between July I, 1978 and June 30, 1979. Most municipalitiesand counties ended their fiscal years on Dec. 3 I, 1978 or June 30,1979. The fiscal year reported for Washington, D.C. ended on Sept. 30,1979.Employment data shown for ,Federal, State, and local governmentsare for October 1979.Data collectionThe survey was accomplished using two methods <strong>of</strong> datacollection: field compilation and mai I canvass. Trained fieldrepresentatives compiled expenditure and employment data from thegovernments' own records for the 50 States, 350 largest counties, 415largest cities, and selected smaller units. The compilation work wasdone between October 1979 and June 1980. All other units in thesample were canvassed by moil for expenditure and employment dataover a 5-month period beginning in January 1980 and ending in May1980. Response for field-compiled units was 100 percent. Theresponse from moil canvass units was 91 percent.The field survey efforts and mail canvass were supplemented byreference to a variety <strong>of</strong> published gO\'"Hnment docum2nts such asi:x.,dgets, financial statements, and audit reports. In some cases, suchsources are the basis for breakdowns <strong>of</strong> totals into more detailedemployment and expenditure figures.The expenditure and employment data for the Fede' II Governmentwere collected through a special mail survey, with teleph,)ne followup,<strong>of</strong> Federal criminal justice agencies. For report:; previa IS to fiscal year1971, expenditure data were derived from the Budge! <strong>of</strong> the UnitedStates Government and employment figures were obtained from theU.S. Civil Service Comnission.Definitions <strong>of</strong> termsThe definitions are those applied in the field compilation <strong>of</strong> datafor the 50 States, 350 largest counties, and 415 largest cities. Thesedefinitions were necessarily summarized for inclusion in the surveyquestionnaires (see Appendix 3 <strong>of</strong> Source) sent to governments on themall portion <strong>of</strong> the survey.Government expenditure--"Expenditure" comprises all amounts<strong>of</strong> money poid out (net <strong>of</strong> any correcting transactions) other than forretirement <strong>of</strong> debt (including interest), investment In securities,extensions <strong>of</strong> loons, or agency transactions. It includes only externalcash poyments and excludes any Intragovernmentol transfers and noncosh transactions, such as the provision <strong>of</strong> meals or housing <strong>of</strong>employees. It also includes any poyments financed from borrowing,fund balances, intergovernmental revenue, and other current revenue.In several Instances, two or more governments shore the expense <strong>of</strong>maintaining a court or other criminal justice agency. In these cases,the allocable direct expenditure amount is repor1 ed for eachgovernment in the appropriate category. When a goverrvnent payspensions directly to retired employees from appropriated funds, suchpayments are included as expenditure <strong>of</strong> the government concerned.However, State and local government contributions to retirementsystems and various other employee benefits are not Included Inexpenditure data, since the majority <strong>of</strong> governments make lump-fumcontributions to plans covering all government employees and cannotreport for criminal justice employees separately. Neither Ingovernments' basic accounting records (from which criminal justiceexpenditure figures are drown) nor in the records <strong>of</strong> their general.·coverage employee benefit systems is there usually any breakdown <strong>of</strong>QT)Ounts contributed In terms <strong>of</strong> the various agencies or functionsInvolved. Nor hos on adequate procedure for calculating the proportion<strong>of</strong> such contributions allocable to criminal justice employees,4\Preceding page blank637


~~~-------- -, -- -~-~-~-~-~----"'-~------------------------~<strong>Sourcebook</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Criminal</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> <strong>Statistics</strong> <strong>1983</strong>Appendicesbeen developed due to th" wide variotion )~ 1 the coverage <strong>of</strong> variouspions, employee stotus requirements, bene~,t rotes, etc.. ,For !hos: governments whose records reflect contributions for<strong>Criminal</strong> ju~tlce employees separately, separate data were obtained.How~'.er, thes,e data are subject to variation and neither the amountnor, the quality <strong>of</strong>, th~ dota reported would permit any attempt toestimate t?tal contributions for all similar governments in a giVenSta~e. Given the problems involved, no estimation procedure seemedfeaSible. Such data as were reported separately were thereforeexc~lJded from total criminal justice expenditures to provide acons~stent data bose for administering the "variable pass-through"requirement.Expenditure is divided into two major categories by character'I. "D.irect expenditure" is all expenditure except thatclassed as Intergovernmental and is further divided into twoprincipal object categories:(0) "Direct current," which includes salaries, wagesfees, and commissions, purchase or supplies, materials andcontractuol services.'(b) "Capitol outlay," which includes expenditure forthe three subcategories below:(I) "Construction:" Production <strong>of</strong> fixed works andstructures, and additions, replacements and majoralterations thereto undertaken either on a contractbasis by private contractors or through force accountconstruction by the employees <strong>of</strong> the government.Included are the planning and designing <strong>of</strong> specificprojects, the grading, landscaping, and other siteImprOVement, and the provision <strong>of</strong> equipment andfacilities that are integral parts <strong>of</strong> the structure.(2) "Equipment:" Purchase and Installation <strong>of</strong>apparatus, furnishings, <strong>of</strong>fice equipment, motorvehicles, and the like having on expected life <strong>of</strong> morethan 5 years. This Includes both additional equlprnentand repl-lcements. Rentals for eqUipment, inc!udlngrental payments that may be credited on the purchaseprice if purchase options are exercised, are closslfledas current operation expenditure. Equipment andfacIlities that are integral parts <strong>of</strong> constructed orpurcha,~ed structures are classified respectively underconstruction or purchase <strong>of</strong> land and existingstructures.(3) ''Purchase <strong>of</strong> land and existing structureSI"Purchase <strong>of</strong> these assets os such, purchase <strong>of</strong> rights<strong>of</strong>-way,and title search and similar activitiesassociated with purchase transactions.The o!her object categorles--Interest on general debt, osslstanceand subsidies, and insurance beneflts--are not applied to specificfunctions because they are not ordinarIly available on a functional basisfrom government financial reports. In the few Instances where bondedor mortgaged general Indebtedness Is Identified for specific purposesthe Interest payments are aggregated with other Interest expendlture~that make it virtually impossible to arrive at reliable and consistentbreakouts <strong>of</strong> such data over a long period <strong>of</strong> time.2. "Intergovernmental expenditure" Is payments from onegovernme~t t? another, incioJding gronts-In-ald, shared revenues,payments In lieu <strong>of</strong> taxes, and amounts for services performed byone, government for another on a reimbursable or cost-shoringbasIs, (for e,xample, payments by one government to another forboarding prISoners)."Total expenditure" is direct and intergovernmental expenditure<strong>of</strong> a government or level <strong>of</strong> government for criminal justice activities"Total general expenditure" is all expenditure <strong>of</strong> a government 0;!ev~1 <strong>of</strong> go,v~rnment for all ,government functions, including criminal<strong>Justice</strong> ~ctlvlties, but, excluding utility system expenditure, liquor storeexpen~lture, and Insurance trust expenditure. Total generalexpendl!ure shown for the local level <strong>of</strong> government includesexpen?lture only, <strong>of</strong> ~eneral purpose governments, and excludesexpenditure <strong>of</strong> speCial districts and school districts.Government employment--"Employees" includes all persons paidfor pe,rsonal services performed, i.ncluding all paid <strong>of</strong>ficials and personsin paid le'!ve status, and excluaes unpaid <strong>of</strong>ficials, persons on unpaidleave, pensioners and contractors. Under this definition are twoclasses:I. 'f'ull-time employees," who are all persons employedduring the poy period including Oct. 15, 1979, on a full-timebasis, including all full-time temporary or seasonal workersemployed dUring this pay period as well as persons havingpermanent status.• 2. ''Pa.rt-time et;nployees," who are persons employed during.~e pay period Including Oct. 15, 1979, on a basis other than f'JIItime,and persons paid by more than one governmentDerived fram these two closses iSl•"Full-time equivalent employees," which means thetotal ~umber o,f employees, discounted by applying overagefull-time earning rates. This Is colculated by dividing thetotal payroll (full-time plus port-time) by the full-timepayroll and multiplying this by the number <strong>of</strong> full-timeemployees, where both full-time and part-time employeesand payroll are reported. Where only part-time employeesand payroll are r:p?r!ed, full-time equivalent employees arecalCUlated by diViding the total port-time payroll by theaverage full-time salary for the particular crIminal justice~ector and type <strong>of</strong> government, "Average full-time salory"IS calcul~ted by dividing the full-time payroll by the number<strong>of</strong> full -time employees for the porticular criminal justicesector and type <strong>of</strong> government.,"Payroll" is the gross payroll before deductions and Includessalaries, wages, fees, and commissions paid to employees as definedabove for the month <strong>of</strong> October 1979.Governmental functions--''Police protection" is the function <strong>of</strong>e~forclng the law, preserving order, and apprehending those whoViolate the low, w~ether the~e activities are performed by a policedeportment, a sheriff's deportment, or a special police force maintainedby an agency whose prime responsibility is outside the criminal justicesystem .. but that has a ~lice force to perform these activities in itsspecialized area (geographiC or functional)., Included I~ this activity are regular pq,lice services, themaintenance <strong>of</strong> buildings used for police purposes, and such specializedpol,lce forces (including public and private contract forces) as airportpolice, free and toll highway police, free and toli bridge and tunnelpolice, housing police, maritime police, pork police, transit and otherutility system police, college and University campus police andalcoholic beverage control agents. Coroners and medIcal examlne;s arealso included. Excluded ?re vehicular inspection and licensing, traffics,afety and engineering, fish and game wardens, fire marshals and thelike.'The special police forces included in the dot a are only those thatare port <strong>of</strong> general purpose governments. Security forces buIldingguords, school crossing guards, and metermaids without the' power tomake a police arrest were excluded. Those special police forces thatare part <strong>of</strong> Independent school districts or special districts are natincluded In the data, Inasmuch as these districts are not generalpurpose governments.In mast States, sheriffs' deportments are multifUnctional ogenclesproviding police protection, judicial, and/or correctional services. Inorder to allocate expenditure and employment data to the properactivity, the data for sheriffs' departments are prorated using factorsdevelop'~d from a special survey <strong>of</strong> sheriffs' departments conducted In1973, or more current estimates <strong>of</strong> manpower distribution If available.Short-term custody and detention have traditionally beenconsidered part <strong>of</strong> the "police protection" function, and In editionsprior to the 1969-70 report, were treated as such. However beginningwith the 1969-70 report, the concept was modified on the basis <strong>of</strong>Information obtained from the 1970 NationcJ/ Jail Census. Data forInstitutions with authority to hold prisoners 48 hours or more areincluded in the "corrections" sector. Data for lockups or "tanks"holding prisoners less than 48 hours are Included In the "policeprotection" sector."Judicial activities" encompass all courts and activitiesossoclated with courts such as law libraries, grand juries, petit juries,and the like. Because the names <strong>of</strong> courts with similar functions ondlegal jurisdictions vary from State to State and even within Statesdata have been categorized by types <strong>of</strong> court rather than by courtname.I. "Appellate courts" Include courts <strong>of</strong> last resort and!nter":1ediate appellate courts. These are courts haVingJurisdiction <strong>of</strong> appeal and review, with original jurisdictionconferred only In special cases.2. "Courts <strong>of</strong> general jurisdiction" are trial courts <strong>of</strong>general j~ri~dlction having unlimited original jurisdiction In civIland/or criminal cases.In many States, statutes either reqIJire or permit localgovernmen,ts to supplement the salary <strong>of</strong> State-paid judges <strong>of</strong>~neral jUrISdiction courts. These judges were counted as porttimeemployees at both the State and local levels when actuallyreceiving a check from both governments., 3., "Courts <strong>of</strong> limited jurisdiction" are courts whose legaljUrisdiction covers only a particular closs <strong>of</strong> cases or cases Inwhich the amount in controversy Is below a prescribed sum orthat is subject to specific exceptions. Included In this categoryar~ probate courts, juvenile courts, and other courts <strong>of</strong> limitedjUrisdiction.4. "Miscellaneous judicial" Includes data on judicialactivities that could not be reported under any <strong>of</strong> the abovecourt categories, such as Judicial councils and conferellces courtadministration <strong>of</strong>fices (where Identifiable), law IIbrarle~ jurycommissions, and grand juries.'• "Legal, services and prosecution" Includes the civil and criminal<strong>Justice</strong> activities <strong>of</strong> the attorneys general, district attorneys State'satt?rneys and their variously named equivalents; corporation dounsels,so II c,ltors, and lega! departments with various names. It IncludesprOViding legal adVice to the chief executives and subordinatedepartmental <strong>of</strong>ficers, representation <strong>of</strong> the government In lawsuits andthe prosecution <strong>of</strong> accused violators <strong>of</strong> criminal law. These act!~ltlesare Included whether performed by one <strong>of</strong>fice or several, because insome jurisdictions a single <strong>of</strong>fender provides all legal services whlle Inothers a prosecutor's <strong>of</strong>fice handles only orimlnal matt~rs and aseparate attorney's <strong>of</strong>fice performs all civil legal services. Theoperations <strong>of</strong> various Investigative agencies having fullarrest powers and attached to <strong>of</strong>fices <strong>of</strong> attorneys general, distrlctattorneys or their variously named equivalents are also included.''Public defense" includes legal counsel and representation asprovided by public defenders, and other government programs that paythe fees <strong>of</strong> court-appointed counsel. These include court-paid fees t?individually retained counsel, fees paid by the court to court-appointedcounsel, government contributions to private legal aid societies and barassociation-sponsored programs, and the activities <strong>of</strong> on establishedpublic defender <strong>of</strong>fice or program. Employment data are included onlyfor public defenders' <strong>of</strong>fices because fee-paid counselors are notconsidered government employees, nor are counselors working for barassociations or legal aid societies."Corrections" Is that function <strong>of</strong> government involving theconfinement and rehabilitation <strong>of</strong> adUlts and juveniles convicted <strong>of</strong><strong>of</strong>fenses against the law, and the confinement <strong>of</strong> persons suspected <strong>of</strong> acrime and awaiting adjudication. Data for institutions with authorityto hold prisoners 48 hours or more are included in this sector. Datafor lockups or "tanks" holding prisoners less than 48 hours are includedin "police protection." Corrections includes the operation <strong>of</strong> prisons,reformatories, jails, houses <strong>of</strong> correction, and other institutions. Italso includes institutions, facilities, and programs exclusively for theconfinement <strong>of</strong> the criminally insane 01 for the examination, eValuation,clossification, and ossig'1ment <strong>of</strong> inmates; and institutions and programsfor the confinement, treatment, and rehabilitation <strong>of</strong> drug addicts andalcoholics if the institution or program is administered by a correctionagency <strong>of</strong> the criminal justice system. Pardon boards, parole andprobation agencies, including resettlement or halfway houses for thosenot in need <strong>of</strong> institutionalization, ore included in the correction sectoras a separate subcategory.I. "Correctional Institutions" are prisons, reformatories,jalls, houses <strong>of</strong> correction, penitentiaries, correctional farms,work-houses, reception centers, diagnostic centers, industrialschools, training schools, detention centers, and a variety <strong>of</strong>other types <strong>of</strong> institutions for the confinement and correction <strong>of</strong>convicted adults or juveniles adjudicated delinquent and or inneed <strong>of</strong> supervision, and for the detention <strong>of</strong> those accused <strong>of</strong> acrime and awaiting trial or hearing. When an institutionmaintains a prison industry or agricultural program, data on thecost <strong>of</strong> production or the value <strong>of</strong> prison labor used by agencies<strong>of</strong> the same government, if identifiable, are excluded (and classedas expenditure for the function using the products or services).ExpenditIJre for the manufacture, production, sale,' anddistribution <strong>of</strong> goods produced for sale or use outside thegovernment are included under this heading.(a) "Institutions for men" include identifiableexpenditure and employment data for institutions exclusivelyfor adult male <strong>of</strong>fenders.(b) "Institutions for women" include identifiableexpenditure and employment data for institutions exclusivelyfor adult female <strong>of</strong>fenders. Where there is no seporatewomen's prison, women <strong>of</strong>fenders are either maintained In aprison complex that also houses other <strong>of</strong>fenders, or areboarded In private facilities or Institutions in another State.N:> attempt was made to prorate data on Institutions housingmore than one type <strong>of</strong> inmate, but where females areboarded in private institutions or in another State, availableexpenditure data were tabulated. Employment data werenot tabulated because the personnel were employees <strong>of</strong>another government.(c) "Institutions for juveniles" are those institutionsidentified by the 1977 Juvenile Detention and CorrectionalFacility Census as housing primarily juveniles, and in someStates, "youthful <strong>of</strong>fenders." These institutions includethose under the control <strong>of</strong> a juvenile court, a probationdeportment, or a youth authority or other similarlydesignated administrative body, as well as independentlYadministered institutions. Also included are governmentpayments to private agencies for the detention or treatment<strong>of</strong> delinquent juveniles. There is considerable variation fromState to State in the legal definition <strong>of</strong> a juvenile,particularly i" regard to the age at which a person is nolonger considered a juvenile. Institutions for juveniles havebeen classified individually in accordance with the lows andage designations <strong>of</strong> their respective States.(d) "Other and combined institutions" are thoseinstitutions holding a combination <strong>of</strong> inmates, Whereexpenditure or employment data for physically separateinstitutions for juveniles, adult females, and adult maleswere not seporable by institution or type <strong>of</strong> institution, theentire amounts were included under this category.2. "Correctional administration" consists <strong>of</strong> data for theadministration <strong>of</strong> the correctional system, including data on thecentral administrative <strong>of</strong>fice (e.g., the department <strong>of</strong> correctionsor a youth authority). Data an the administration <strong>of</strong> individualcorrectional Institutions or probation/porole/pordon agencies areincluded in the appropriate subcategory if it was possible todeduct them.3. "Probation, parole, and pardon" includes data onprobation agencies, boards <strong>of</strong> porole, boards <strong>of</strong> pardon, and theirvariously named eqUivalents. Although probation agenciesfrequently function under the administration <strong>of</strong> the generaljurisdiction court, the data are presented here after having beendeducted from the judicial data, because <strong>of</strong> the correctionalnature <strong>of</strong> the probotion function.

Secondary prevention wasdefined as the early identification and intervention in the lives <strong>of</strong>youths in criminogenic circumstances. The focus was on youths beforedelinquent acts hod been conmitted or detected, generally before theycome in contact with law enforcement agencies. To identify a broadrepresentation <strong>of</strong> such p·ograms, a questionnaire was mai led to 898public funding, policy, and planning ager,cies <strong>of</strong> the Federal Governmentand all 50 States and Puerto Rico; to private foundations and agencies(such as the United Way); and to local social service agencies in 261U.S. cities. The following sources were used to generate the list <strong>of</strong>sampled agencies and organizations: The Foundation Directory, TheFoundation Grants Index, the Encyclopedia <strong>of</strong> Associations, TheAnnual Register <strong>of</strong> Grant Support, The Catalogue <strong>of</strong> FederalDomestic Assistance, The Government Organization Manual, andThe State Information Book. Any foundation or agency which mightprovide funding for delinquency prevention was included. Agenciesresponsible for social services, youth programs, 1('" enforcement,recreation, education, and labor were surveyed. The director <strong>of</strong> eachsurveyed organization was asked to nominate three programs he or sheviewed as the most promising or effective for preventing delinquencybefore youths become Involved with the low. A total <strong>of</strong> 875 programswere identified In this way. The principal administrator <strong>of</strong> each <strong>of</strong> theidentified programs was then surveyed using a second questionnaire.Sixty-two percent (540) <strong>of</strong> the 875 surveyed programs ultimatelyreturned completed questionnaires. Respondents inclUded a brood crasssection <strong>of</strong> youth-focused programs. Schools, various components <strong>of</strong> thecriminal justice system, mental health centers, youth service bureausand other organizations <strong>of</strong>fering a brood range <strong>of</strong> services wererepresented.In 1981, essentially the same procedures were followed in oneffort to identify addltlanal delinquency prevention programs. Thesources <strong>of</strong> progrom nominations were expanded to Include pr<strong>of</strong>essionalsworking In the area <strong>of</strong> delinquency prevention, program evaluators,academicians, and a search <strong>of</strong> research journals and newsletters.Nominators were asked for the names <strong>of</strong> promising delinquencyprevention programs without specifying that the programs shouldconcentrate on primary and secondary prevention. In addition, thenominators were not restricted to listing a maximum <strong>of</strong> three programs.After removing the names <strong>of</strong> programs which hod responded to the 197';1survey, 686 additional programs were identified. Surveys were sent tothe principal administrators <strong>of</strong> these programs. Ferty percent (275)returned completed questionnaires which were added to the data bose.SampleWhile the emphasis in the 1979 survey hod been on programsinvolved in primary and secondary delinquency prevention, a number <strong>of</strong>the nominators included programs which dealt with youths after theybecome involved with low enforcernent agencies (programs working topercent recidivism, i.e., terti(lry delinquency prevention). A number <strong>of</strong>the nominated programs were also found to be involved in all threelevels <strong>of</strong> prevention from primary to tertiary. These programs wereincluded in the survey and the data bose. The 1981 survey did notrestrict the nominators to primary or secondary prevention programs.The programs which responded to both surve';3 also varied in the targetages <strong>of</strong> their client populations, ranging from chilnren through adUltswho were <strong>of</strong>ten the parents <strong>of</strong> younger clients, protessionals in the lield<strong>of</strong> delinquency prevention, low enforcement personnel, or teachers. Inthe data presented here, programs exclusively targeting adults and onlyproviding services such as pareflfing training, delinquency preventioninformation, or other CJdult focused services were excluded. Inaddition, a Variety <strong>of</strong> organizational levels were represented by theprograms responding to the surveys. Programs which do not providedirect services to youths, acting, for instance, solely as servicebrokers, information and referral services, or program networkcoordinators were excluded from these data. These excluilionsestablished a data set for the information prllvlded here that includes494 programs from the 1979 survey and 254 programs from the 1981survey (91.8 percent <strong>of</strong> the 815 programs In the data bose).The surveyThe surveys were divided into two parts. The first port solicitedInformation an the program itself, Including geographical area served,target popUlation, organizational structure, st<strong>of</strong>f composition, services<strong>of</strong>fered, progrom budget, funding sources, and evaluation Information. Asecond section asked the administrator <strong>of</strong> the program to respond to aset <strong>of</strong> Likert-scaled propositions on causes <strong>of</strong> delinquency and methodsfor preventing It, based on seven mojor perspectiVes on the causes <strong>of</strong>juvenile delinquency. The data presented here are drown from the firstpart <strong>of</strong> the survey.Service codingThe programs responding to the surveys provided a wide variety<strong>of</strong> services, each program, typically, providing mare than one type <strong>of</strong>service. Services were identified and coded through content analysis <strong>of</strong>the returned questionnaires, descriptive literature provided by theprogram, interviews with some program personnel, and programevaluations, when these could be obtained. A maximum <strong>of</strong> eight <strong>of</strong>each program's mojo" services could be included in the data bose. Asubset consisting <strong>of</strong> 54 <strong>of</strong> these services provides the basis for some <strong>of</strong>the data presented here.644645

N:!n-substantive editorial adaptations have been made.Initial parole consideration--The U.S. Parole Commission hasadopted guidelines for parole release considerations. These gUidelinesindicate the customary range <strong>of</strong> time to be served before release forvarious combinations <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fense (severity) and <strong>of</strong>fender (paroleprognosis) characteristics. The time ranges specified by the guidelinesare established specifically for cases with good institutional odjustmentond program progress. These time ranges are merely gUidelines, wherethe circumstances warrant, decisions outside <strong>of</strong> the guidelines (eitherobove or below) may be rendered.The gUidelines designate <strong>of</strong>fense behaviors as falling Into one <strong>of</strong>several severity levels. Severity levels include low, low moderote,moderate, high, very high, greatest I, and greatest II. Mitigating oraggravoting circumstonces in a particular cose may justify a decision oro severity roting different from that listed.An evoluotion <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fender characteristics, resulting in thecalculation <strong>of</strong> a salient factor score, serves as an oid in determiningthe <strong>of</strong>fender's parole prognosis. Parole prognosis refers to the patentlalrisk ?f a parole violation. A salient factor score is calculated bysummtng the <strong>of</strong>fender'S scores on each <strong>of</strong> the follOWing items: number <strong>of</strong>prior convictions and adjudications, number <strong>of</strong> prior corrmitments <strong>of</strong>more than 30 days duration, age at current <strong>of</strong>fense, commitment <strong>of</strong> 30days durotion within the past 3 years,probation/parole/confinement /escape status at time <strong>of</strong> current <strong>of</strong>fense,and heroin/opiate dependence.R,eparoie consideration--In most States, an <strong>of</strong>fender whoseparole is revoked is eligible to be considered for reparole.If revocation Is based upon an administrative violation only, i.e.,a violation not involving new criminal conduct, the following guidelinesapply.Positive supervision history:a. No serious alcohol/durg abuse and noposse.5sion <strong>of</strong> weopon(s} (and)b. At least 8 months from date <strong>of</strong> release todate <strong>of</strong> violation behavior (and)c. Present violation represents first instance <strong>of</strong>failure to comply with parole regulations <strong>of</strong> thisterm.Negative supervision history:a. Serious alcohol/drug abuse (e.g., readdictianto opiates) or possession <strong>of</strong> weapon(s} (or)b.

Repetitious or persistent violationsCustomary timeto be servedbefore releaseLess than6 months6 to 9 monthsIf a finding is made that the prisoner has engaged in behaviorconstituting new criminal conduct, the appropriate severity rating forthe new criminal behavior is calculated. New criminal conduct may bedetermined either by a new Federal, State, or local conviction or by anindependent finding by the U.S. Parole Commission at a revocationhearing. If the criminal conduct is in violation <strong>of</strong> State or local lawthe appropriate severity level is determined by analogy with the listedFederal <strong>of</strong>fense severity ratings.

I-hwever, over this period the design In Itsessentials has conformed to the current procedure, as described in thefollowing paragraphs.The United Stales is divided into seven size-<strong>of</strong>-communlty strata:cities <strong>of</strong> population 1,000,000 and over, 250,000 to 999,999, arId 50,000to 249,999, with the urbanized areas <strong>of</strong> all these cities forming a singlestratum' cities <strong>of</strong> 2,500 to 49,999; rural vi lIages; and farm or opencountry rural areas. Within each <strong>of</strong> these strata, the papulation Isfurther divided into seven regions: New England, Middle Atlantic, EastCentral, West Central, South, Mountain, and Pacific Coast. Within eachslze-<strong>of</strong>-communlty and regional stratum the population is arrayed Ingeographic order and zoned into equal slz~d groups <strong>of</strong> sampling units:Pairs <strong>of</strong> localities in each zone are s~lected with probability orselection proportional to the size <strong>of</strong> each locality's population-­producing two replicated samples <strong>of</strong> localities.Wi thin selected cities for which population data are reported bycensus tracts or enumeration districts, these sample subdivisions aredrawn with probability <strong>of</strong> selection proportional to the size <strong>of</strong> thepopulation. For other cities, minor civil divisions, and rural areas Inthe somple for which population data are not reported by census tractsor enumeration districts, small, definable geographic areas are drawn,with the probability <strong>of</strong> selection proportional to size where availabledata permit; otherwise with equal probability.A black or block cluster is drawn with probability <strong>of</strong> selection. proportional to the num~er <strong>of</strong> dwelli~g. units fro,!! within e.a;hsubdivision selected for whIch block statistICS are available. In citiesand towns for which block statistics are not available, blocks aredrown at random, that is, with equal probobility. In subdivisions thatare rural or open country in character, segments approximately equalin size <strong>of</strong> popUlation are delineated and drawn with equal probability.In each cluster <strong>of</strong> blocks ond each segment so selected, arandomly selected starting point is designated on the interviewer's map<strong>of</strong> the area. Starting at this point, interviewers are required to followa given direction in the selection <strong>of</strong> households, taking households insequence, until their assigned number <strong>of</strong> interviews has been completed.Within each occupied dwelling unit or household reached, theinterviewer asks to speak to the youngest man I B or older at home, orif no man is at home, the oldest woman IB or older. This method <strong>of</strong>selection within the household has been developed empirically toproduce an age distribution by men and women separately whichcompares closely with the age distribution <strong>of</strong> the population. Itincreases the probability <strong>of</strong> selecting younger men, who are at homerelatively infrequently, and the probability <strong>of</strong> reaching older women Inthe household who tend to be under-represented unless given adisproportionclte chance <strong>of</strong> being drawn from a""!on.g those at hom:.The method Ijf st::.:c-tion among those at home Within the household ISnot strictly random, but it is systematic and objective, and eliminatesinterviewer judgment in the selection process. Interviewing. iscona,lcted at times when adults are most likely to be at home, whichmeans on weekends or if on weekdays, after 4 p.m. for women and after6 p.m. for men. Allowance for persons not at home Is made by a"times-at-home" weighting procedure rather than by "cali-backs." Thisprocedure Is a standard method for reducing the sample bias that wouldotherwise result from under-representation <strong>of</strong> persons who are difficultto find at home.The pre-stratification by regions Is routinely supplemented byfitting each obtained sample to the latest available U.S. <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> theCensus estimates <strong>of</strong> the regional distribution <strong>of</strong> the popUlation. Alsominor adjustments <strong>of</strong> the sample are mode by educational attainment(for men and women separately), based on the annual estimates <strong>of</strong> theU.S. <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Census derived from their Current PopulationSurvey. The sample procedure described is designed to produce onapproximation <strong>of</strong> the adult civilian population living in the UnitedStates, except for those persons In Institutions such as prisons orhospitals. The four regions <strong>of</strong> the country, as reported In Gallup publicopinion surveys, have been defined In the following manner:East--Malne, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, District <strong>of</strong> Columbia;Mldwest--Ohlo, Michigan, Indiana, IIlInals, Wisconsin,Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Nor'lh Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska,Kansas;South--Virglnla, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas,Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, andWest--Montana, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah,Nevada, New Mexico, California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii,Alaska.Prior to 1950, the samples for all Gal!up surveys, eXcludingspecial surveys, were a combination <strong>of</strong> what is known as a purposivedesign for the selection <strong>of</strong> cities, towns, and rural areas, and the quotamethod for the selection <strong>of</strong> individuals within such selected areas.The first step In obtaining the sample was to draw a nationalsample <strong>of</strong> places (cities, towns, and rural areas). These weredistributed by six regions and five or six city-size, urban-rural groupsor strata in proportion to the distribution <strong>of</strong> the population <strong>of</strong> votingage by these regional city-size strata. The distribution <strong>of</strong> casesbetween the non -South and South, however, was on the basis <strong>of</strong> thevote in presidential elections.Within each region the sample <strong>of</strong> such places was drawnseporately for each <strong>of</strong> the larger States and for groups <strong>of</strong> smallerStates. The places were selected to provide broad geographicdistribution within States and at the same time in combination to bepolitically representativp. <strong>of</strong> the State or groups <strong>of</strong> States in terms ?fthree previous elections. Specifically, they were selected so that Incombination, they matched the State vote for three previous electionswithin small tolerances. Great emphasis was placed on election data asa control in the era from 1935 to I 95U.Within the civil divisions In the sample, respondents wereselected on the basis <strong>of</strong> age, sex, and socioeconomic quotas.Otherwise, interviewers were given considerable latitude within thesample areas, being permitted to draw their cases from households andfrom person the street anywhere in the community.According to Gallup policy, if the interviewee does not hear ordoes not understand a question, the interviewer repeats the questionand if on the second reading the person does not undt!rstand or doesnot get the point <strong>of</strong> the question, the Interviewer checks the "noopinion" box. It should also be noted that seldom mare than 10percent <strong>of</strong> all those contacted refuse to be interviewed.Surveys <strong>of</strong> college students usually are based on In-personinterviews with 1,000 full-time students representing 60 campuses.Occasionally, special surveys conducted by Gallup for otherorganizations Use smaller samples because <strong>of</strong> time and/or financialconstraints.The data presented In SC1-.RCEBOO< from this Source were takenfrom the foliowlng reports. The dates on which Interviews wereconducted are presented in pareiltheses after each citation. At least1,500 Interviews were conducted unless indicated otherwise.The Gallup Opinion IndicesGeorge H.

The survey was conducted during the periodbetween Dec. 7-18, 1982. The sample <strong>of</strong> telephone numbers wereselected by sampling telephone exchanges. Telephone numbers werethen created by adding random digits to the sample <strong>of</strong> telephoneexchanges. Respondents, persons interviewed oj the telephone number,were selected in the following manner: the interviewer first asked tospeak to a male 18 years old or older; if there W/JS mare than one male18 years or older at that telephone number the, interviewer asked tospeak to the youngest male; if no male~ '; 8 years or older wereavailable the interviewer asked to speak to a female 18 years or older;and if more than one female was at that telephone number theinterviewer asked to speak with the youngest.Definitions <strong>of</strong> termsEducatian--Respondents were asked what the last grade <strong>of</strong>school was that they completed. Those who indicated eighth grade orless were included in the grade school group. Those who said they hadsome high school or graduated high school were included in the highschool group. Those who said they had some college, had graduatedcollege, or had post-graduate college were included in the collegegroup.Age--Respondents were asked in what year they were barn.Those barn between 1958 and 1%4 were int:;/uded in the 18 to 24 yeargroup. Those barn between 1953 and 1957 were included in the 25 to29 year group. Those barn between 1933 and 1952 were Included inthe 30 to 49 year group. Those born between 1918 and 1932 wereIncluded in the 50 to 64 year group. Those born before I 91 B wereincluded in the 65 years and older group.Community size--Respondents were asked to characterize thearea they lived in as either a large city, a suburb <strong>of</strong> a large city, asmall town or a rural area.Neighborhood racial characteristics--Respondents were askedto characterize the neighborhood they lived in as either all white,mostly white, about one-half black and one-half white, mostly black, orall black.Neighborhood age structure--Respondents were asked tocharacterize the people living in the neighborhood as either mostly onthe young side (35 years old or younger), mostly middle aged (between35 and 55 years old), mastly older (over 55 years old), or basically amixture <strong>of</strong> all ages.Regions--Survey results are reported for four regional categorieswith States classified in the following way: Northeast--Connecticut,Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont; Midwest--IIlinois, Indiana, Iowa,Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio,South Dakota, Wisconsin; South--Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida,Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina,Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia;and West--Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho,Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming.Distribution <strong>of</strong> respondentsThe following table shows the number <strong>of</strong> respondents in eachdemographic category.

Thepurpose <strong>of</strong> the report Is to measure the fear <strong>of</strong> crime and examine howIt has affected the lifestyles <strong>of</strong> the American public.Sample selectionThe sample used in this study was a national random-digit sample<strong>of</strong> the telephones <strong>of</strong> the United State constructed for Research andForecasts by Survey Sampling, Westport, Conn.. The method used to construct such samples Involves the use <strong>of</strong> amassive data base that is updated frequently. Using the data base, aspecialized computer program generates a list <strong>of</strong> telephone numbersthat Is organized In such a manner that each telephone has an equalprobablHty <strong>of</strong> being called.The use <strong>of</strong> the random digit dialing technique overcomes one <strong>of</strong>the main objections to telephone surveys, the problem <strong>of</strong> unlistednumbers. Because the data base from which the romple is drawn Isconstructed from working eXchanges supplied by the Nation's telephonecompanies rather than telephone books, both listed and unlistednumbers have an equal probability <strong>of</strong> being called.Another criticism <strong>of</strong> telephone surveys In the post has been thattelephone surveys tend to oversample the affluent, because only theycan afford telephones. However, U.S. Notional Health Service surveysIn 1976 found that 91.6 percent <strong>of</strong> American households now containtelephones. Consequently, although national random telephone surveysmay stili somewhat undersample the poor, It is clear that any bias isrelatively small.Data collectionTwenty trained interviewers conducted phone inte(vlews for aperiod <strong>of</strong> 6 weeks during April and May 1980. The interviews wereconducted during the week between the hours <strong>of</strong> 6 p.m. and II p.m.,and on weekends between the hours <strong>of</strong> 10:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. Theinterview took approximately 35 n'lnutes.In order to assure random sek,ction, three call-backs were madefor those telephone numbers that r'~sulted In nan-response before thenumber was discarded. Final non-response was 12 percent <strong>of</strong> the phonecalls and consisted ()f 3 groups: (J J those households where the phonewas not answered; (:!~ !:'o~"" households where Individuals simplyrefused to be Interviewed, and (3) those households for whom the giventime was not convenient. Although three call-backs were made for allthree categories <strong>of</strong> non-response, the first two categories representnon-response problems that will persist regardless <strong>of</strong> Interviewerpersistence. Interviewers attempted to set convenien\' times to callback respondents In the third category to minimize the number <strong>of</strong>individuals In the third category. In addition, 3 percent <strong>of</strong> the phonecalls resulted In Interviews that were terminated while the Interviewwas In progress.One thousand and forty-seven Interviews were fully completedand usable. This represents an 8S percent overall completion rate.Sampling distributionData collection techniques ensured that the randomness <strong>of</strong> thetelephone number selection process was maintained. The randomselection process ensures access to probability theory to measure thescmpllng error for the sample.A table <strong>of</strong> the estimated sampling error for binomIal percents atthe 95 percent confidence level Is presented below.Recomended allowonce for sampling error (plus or minus) at 95percent confidence level(Percent)PercentagesSam21e sizenear 1,000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 10010 or 90 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 620 or 80 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 5 6 830 or 70 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 6 940 or 60 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 6 7 1050 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 6 7 10The geographic distribution <strong>of</strong> the respondents is as follows:East, 23 percent; Midwest, 25 percent; West, 21 percent; and South, 31percent.WeIghtingThe inItial sample did not exactly correspond to recent U.S.<strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Census estimates <strong>of</strong> the demagraphic char'acteristlcs <strong>of</strong>the population over age 18. In order to make the two popUlationscorrespond mare closely, the sampled popUlation was weighted on twovariables: gender and Income.The Census <strong>Bureau</strong> estimates the 1979 popUlation over III asbeing 41.9 percent male cnd 58.1 percent female. In order to correctthe sample fIndings to approximate the census figures, males in thesample were Increased by a factor <strong>of</strong> 1.136 and females were decreasedby a factor <strong>of</strong> .902.SimIlarly, the Income groups were weighted. The group earningunder $2,999 for 1978 (5.9 percent <strong>of</strong> the sample) was multiplied by afactor <strong>of</strong> 3.4. Those earning $3,000 to $7,999 per year (15.7 percent <strong>of</strong>the sample) were multiplied by a factor <strong>of</strong> 1.2. Those earning $8,000to $11,000 (11.5 percent <strong>of</strong> the sample) were mUltiplied by a factor <strong>of</strong>I. Those earning $11,000 to $15,999 per year (14.5 percent <strong>of</strong> thesample) were multiplied by a factor <strong>of</strong> .61. Those earning $16,000 to$21,000 (16.9 percei,t <strong>of</strong> the sample) were multiplied by 0 factor <strong>of</strong> .65.Those earning $21,000 or over (35.5 percent <strong>of</strong> the sample) weremultllllled by a factor <strong>of</strong> I.Construction <strong>of</strong> composite measuresThe "formless fear index" is a Guttman scale constructed fromresponses to six questions concerning s<strong>of</strong>ety felt at home, in theneighborhood, or In the central business distrIct, during the day, andduring the night. For each item, response categorie~ were "frequently,""sometimes," "rarely," or "never." The "concrete fear index" is aGuttman scale built from six questions asking respondents how <strong>of</strong>tenthey worried about being a victim <strong>of</strong> murder, sexual assault, mugr1ng,knifing, beating, or armed robbery. For '1hese items, responsecategories were "very safe," "somewhat safe," "somewhat unsafe," or"very unsafe." In each scale, the individual items were dichotomizedinto values <strong>of</strong> 0 and I and sunmed to arrive at a score ranging from 0to 6. For the concrete fear scale, responses <strong>of</strong> "frequently" and"sometimes" were giVen scores <strong>of</strong> I. "Rarely" and "never" responseswere given scores <strong>of</strong> O. For the formless fear scale, responses <strong>of</strong> "verysafp," and "somewhat safe" were given scores <strong>of</strong> O. "Somewhat unsafe"and "very unsafe" responses were given scores <strong>of</strong> O. In both scales,total scores <strong>of</strong> 0 to 2 were classified as moderate to low levels <strong>of</strong> fearand scores <strong>of</strong> 3 to 6 as high fear level.The "confidence in the local police index" combines severalqUestionnaire items In order to create an overall measure <strong>of</strong> attitudestoward local police. The Items included In the Index were as follows:--"In general, would you rate your local police deportmentas: excellent or good (I), fair or poor (D)?"--"The local police treat people <strong>of</strong> all races the same."(agree= I, dlsagree=O)--"The local police Just enjoy push:ng people around andgiven them a hard time." (agree= I, disagree=O)--"The local police spend most <strong>of</strong> their time going afterpeople who do little things wrong and ignore mast <strong>of</strong> the badthings goIng on." (agree=O, dlsagree= I)--"Which <strong>of</strong> the following best describes your local police<strong>of</strong>ficers?" (respectful= I, arrogant=O)--"Do police use too much force?" (yes=O, no= I)As with the other composite scores, the police confidence index wasthe sum <strong>of</strong> the responses to each Index item. However, unlike theother Indices, the "confidence in the local police index" did not form aGuttman scale. ''High'' confidence in the local police was assigned tosums <strong>of</strong> 3 to 6 and "low" confidence to totals <strong>of</strong> less than 3.Community size Is the respondents' subjective classIficatIon <strong>of</strong>their residential environment. This is distinct from many otherdefinitions <strong>of</strong> comnunlty size that rely on population counts and U.S.<strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Census definitions.652653


Research design and proceduresN'PENDIX 10Student Drug Use in America, 1975-1982-­Survey methodology and definitions af termsNJTE: The following is excerpted from Lloyd D. Johnston, Jerald G. Bachman, and Patrick M.O'Malley, Student Drug Use, Attitudes and Beliefs National Trends 19!5-1982, U.S.Department <strong>of</strong> Health and Htxl1an Services, Notional Institute on Drug Abuse (Washington, D.C.:U.S. Government Printing Office, 1982), pp. 3-7; and information provided by the Source.The basic research design involves annual data collections fromhigh school seniors during the Spring <strong>of</strong> each year, beginning with theclass <strong>of</strong> 1975. Data collection takes place in approximately 125 to 140public and private high schools selected to provide an accurate crosssection <strong>of</strong> high school seniors throughout the United States.One limitation in this design is that it does not include in thetarget population those young men and women who drop out <strong>of</strong> highschool before the last few months <strong>of</strong> their senior year (j.e., prior to thesurvey)--between 15 to 20 percent <strong>of</strong> each age cohort. The omission<strong>of</strong> high schaol dropouts does introduce biases in the estimation <strong>of</strong>certain characteristics <strong>of</strong> the entire age group; however, for mostpurpo£es, the small proportion <strong>of</strong> dropouts sets outer limits on the bias.Further, .since the bias from missing dropouts should remain just aboutconstant from year to year, their omission should introduce little biasinto the various types <strong>of</strong> change being estimated for the majority <strong>of</strong>the population. . ..Sampling procedures--The procedure for securing a nationwidesample <strong>of</strong> high school seniors is a multistage one. Stage I is theselection <strong>of</strong> particular geographic areas; Stage 2 is the selection <strong>of</strong> oneor more high schools in each area; and Stage 3 is the selection <strong>of</strong>seniors within each high school.Stage 1--The geographic areas used in this study are theprimary sampling units (PSUS) developed by the Sampling Section<strong>of</strong> the Survey Research Center for use in the Center's nationwideinterview studies. These consist <strong>of</strong> 74 primary areas throughoutthe coterminous United States. In addition to the 12 largestmetropolitan areas, containing about 30 percent <strong>of</strong> the Notion'spopulation, 62 other primary areas are included: lOin theNortheast, 18 in the North Central area, 24 in the South, and 10in the West. Because these same PSUs are used for personalinterview studies by the Survey Research Center, local fieldrepresentatives can be assigned to administer the data collectionsin practically 011 schools.Stage 2--ln the major metropolitan areas more than onehigh school is <strong>of</strong>ten included in the sampling design; in mast othersampling areas 0 single high school is sampled. In all cases, theselections <strong>of</strong> high schools are made such that the probability <strong>of</strong>drawing a school is proportionate to the size <strong>of</strong> its senior class.The larger the senior class (according to recent records), thehigher the selection probability assigned to the high school.When a sampled school is unwilling to participate, a replacementschool os similar to it as possible is selected from the sameg~ographical orea.Stage 3--Within each selected schoo!, up to about 400seniors may be included in the data collection. In schools withfewer than 400 seniors, the usual procedure is to include all <strong>of</strong>them in the data collection. In larger schools, a subset <strong>of</strong> seniorsis selected either by randomly sampling classrooms or by someother random method that IS convenient for the school ond judgedto be unbiased. Sample weights are assigned to each respondentso as t.: ,' voriations inselection probabilities occurring at the earlier stages <strong>of</strong> sampling.The three-stage sampling procedure described above yielded thenumber <strong>of</strong> participating schools and students presented in Table I.Table IClass <strong>of</strong>1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982Total number<strong>of</strong> schools 125 123 124 131 131 127 12!l 137Public III 108 108 III III 107 109 116Privote 14 15 16 20 20 20 19 21Students porticipating: a~ber 15,791 16,678 18,436 18,924 16,662 16,524 18,267 18,661Percent 78 77 79 83 82 82 81 83Each school (except for half <strong>of</strong> those in the 1975 data collection)was asked to participate in two data collections, thereby permittingreplacement <strong>of</strong> half <strong>of</strong> the total sample <strong>of</strong> schools each year. Onemotivation for requesting that schools participate for 2 years isadministrative efficiency; it is a costly and time-consuming procedureto secure the cooperation <strong>of</strong> schoolS, and a 2-year period <strong>of</strong>participation cuts down that effort substantially. Another importantadvantage is that whenever an appreciable shift in scores from one654graduating class to the next is observed, it is possible to checkwhether the shift might be attributable to some differences in thenewly sampled schools. This is done simply by repeating the analysisusing only the 60 or so schools that participated both years. Thus far,the half-sample appraach has worked quite well; an examination <strong>of</strong> drugprevalence data from the "matched half-samples" showed that the halfsamples<strong>of</strong> repeat schools yielded drug prevalence trends that werevirtually identical to trends based on all schools.Definitions <strong>of</strong> termsCollege plans--Respondents were asked the question "How likelyis it that you will do each <strong>of</strong> the following things after high school?"One <strong>of</strong> the alternatives listed is "gradUate from college (four yearprogram)." Seniors responding "definitely won't" or "probably won't"were assigned to the college plans category "none or under 4 years."Students responding "probably will" or "definitely will" were assigned tothe college plans category "complete 4 years."Region--States grouped as "I'hrtheast" (Census classifications <strong>of</strong>New England and Middle Atlanticl: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermant,Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, andPennsylVania.

Louis, Baltimore, andCleveland.''Other SMSAs" include all other Standard MetropolitanStatistical Areas excluding the 12 above. Except in the NewEngland States, an SMSA is a county or group <strong>of</strong> contiguouscounties that contains at 1"I1.y: household respondents, self-respondents,and proxy respondents.I. Household respondent--A household respondent waschosen to answer questions that pertained to the entirehousehold. Items asked <strong>of</strong> the household respondent included suchquestions as whether the residence was owned or rented and totalfamily income. In addition, the household respondent was asked aseries <strong>of</strong> household "screen" questions, designed to elicitinformation concerning crimes against the household such asburglary and auto theft.The interviewer was instructed to interview aknowledgeable adult household member as the householdrespondent; that is, one who appeared to know--or who couldreasonably be expected to know--the answers to the householdquestions. For the data presented in this SOURCEBOOK, thisusually was the head <strong>of</strong> the household or the spouse <strong>of</strong> the head<strong>of</strong> the household. If it became apparent that the particularhousehold member being interviewed was unable to answer thesequestions, a more knowledgeable respondent was found, orarrangements were made to call back when a knowledgeablerespondent was available.2. Self-respondent--Questions that pertained to individualvictimization were asked <strong>of</strong> each household member 14 years <strong>of</strong>age or older. The questions asked <strong>of</strong> each Individual memberinclude personal characteristics and whether they were victimizedin some way during the preceeding 6 months.3. Proxy respondent--Information about each householdmember aged 12 and 13 was obtained by a proxy; that is, thequestions for these persons were asked <strong>of</strong> the householdrespondent or some other knowledgeable adult household member.Proxy respondents were also utilized for those household memberswho were physically or mentally unable to answer the individualquestions, as well as for those household members who weretemporarily absent and not expected to return within theenumeration period.Commercial interviews--For the commercial portion <strong>of</strong> thesurvey, either the owners or the managers <strong>of</strong> the commercl alestablishment were to be interviewed. If the owner or manager wa.not available at an establishment, the interviewer asked for the nam,~and telephone number so that he/she could make an appointment for aninterview. If the owner or manager was temporarily absent for theentire Interview period, or was ill for the entire period, or was toobusy, or if the interviewer could not obtain an interview for some otherreason, the interview was conducted with the assistant manager, an655accountant, the senior sales-clerk, the nurse, secretary, receptionist,or some other employee who was knowledgeable about the business.The conmercial survey was suspended as <strong>of</strong> 1977.QuestionnairesI-husehold portion--The questionnaire used in the householdsurvey had four parts. The first portion <strong>of</strong> the questionnaire completedby the interviewer consisted <strong>of</strong> such items as basic householddemographic data and pertinent information concerning noninterviews.The second portion, asked <strong>of</strong> the household respondent, was designed toobtain--for the purpose <strong>of</strong> describing the household--characteristics <strong>of</strong>the household members i2 years <strong>of</strong> age or older as well as to elicitgeneral information concerning crimes committed against the householdas a whole during the reference period. Items :ncluded in this sectionIncluded such "screen" questions as: "During the last 6 months, didanyone break into or somehow illegally get into your home, garage, oranother building on your property?" and "Did anyone steal or try tosteal, or use your motor vehicle without permission?"The third portion <strong>of</strong> the household questionnaire was asked <strong>of</strong>each household member 12 years <strong>of</strong> age or older, or a proxy. Itconsisted <strong>of</strong> items <strong>of</strong> person characteristics, such as educationalattainment and marital status, as well as individual "screen" questions,desi gned to elicit whether or not the respondent had been the victim <strong>of</strong>a specific crime during the reference period. For example, thefollowing questions were asked: "Did anyone take something directlyfrom you by using force, such as by a stickup, mugging or threat?" and"Did anyone beat you up, attack you or hit you with something, such asa rock or bottle?"The final portion <strong>of</strong> the household questionnaire, the CrimeIncident Report, was used to gather detailed information about crimesreported in either the household screen section (portion II) or theindividual screen section (portion III). One incident report was filledout for each incident reported in answer to a screen question. Forexample, if a respondent said that her purse was snatched once andthat she had been beaten up twice, three Crime Incident Reports--onefor each seporate incident--were completed.Commercial--The commercial victimization questionnaire hadthree primary components. The first contained questions that enabledthe interviewer to classify the type <strong>of</strong> establishment, non interviewreasons, gross income, ownership, and number <strong>of</strong> employees. Thesecond portion contained "screen" questions regarding whether anyburglaries and/or robberies had occurred during the reference periodand, if so, how many. This part ion also included questions regardinginsurance coverage and security measures used by the establishment.The final portion <strong>of</strong> the commercial questionnaire consisted <strong>of</strong>robbery and burglary incident reports. These detailed reports werefiled on every robbery and burglary incident reported in the screenquestionnaire. Seporate reporting forms were used for robbery andburglary incidents for the survey period from July 1972 throughDecember 1972. Beginning in January 1973, the same i nci dentreporting form was used to record details <strong>of</strong> both robbery and burglaryincidents.Changes in the 1979 Household QuestionnaireIn 1979, a revised questionnaire was used in the householdsurvey. To be able to make data comparable across years,specifications were given for reformatting the recponses from the newquestionnaire to coincide with the old survey questionnaire. Tablesconstructed for SOLRCEBOCK are based on the format <strong>of</strong> the old surveyquestionnaire. However, for Tables 3.6 and 3.14, it was not alwayspossible to reformat the new respanse categories (and hence columndistributions) to those from the old questionnaire. The result is thatthe tables presented in this edition <strong>of</strong> SOURCEBOOK are notcomparable to those presented in earlier editions. To aid the reader,the table below compores the response codes for these variables fromthe 1978 and revised 1979 questionnaires.

The samplesused for the notional survey are large; during a 6-manth period, about60,000 household interviews and 135,000 personal interviews areconducted. Nevertheless, whenever samples <strong>of</strong> a population--ratherthan the entire population--are studied, a certain amount <strong>of</strong> samplingerror is introduced into the results. The size <strong>of</strong> this error depends onsuch factors as the size <strong>of</strong> the sample and the variability <strong>of</strong> thepopulation. However, the sampling design and techniques were carriedout in a way'that permits on estimation <strong>of</strong> the amount <strong>of</strong> samplingerror present in the results.656Table :1.14 Place <strong>of</strong> occurrence <strong>of</strong> victimization1978 C~des. ________________ ~19~7~9_C=0~d~e~:; ______________ _At or !n own dwelling, ingarr.:ge or other building onp~operty (includes break-in orattempted break-in)At or In vocation home,hCltel/motelIn;lide non-residential bui/ding,pu:~lIc conveyance (Includesstore, restaurant, bonk, gasst(.ltlon, public conveyance orstc·tlon, <strong>of</strong>fice, factory,wa.-ehouse)Neer own home; yard, sidewalk,driveway, carport, apartmenthall (does not include break-inor 'Jttempted break-in)On the street, in pork, field,playground, school grounds orparking lotInside schoolElsewhereI'bt ascertainedAt or in own dwelling, or owngarage (always mark for breakinor attempted break-in <strong>of</strong>some)At or in detached buildings onown property such as detachedgarage, storage shed, etc.{Always mark for break-in orattempted break-in <strong>of</strong> someAt or in vocation home,hotel/motelInside restaurant, bar,nightclubInside other commerclaibuildingsuch as store, bonk, gas stationOn public transportation or instation (bus, train, plane,airport, depot, etc.)Commercial parking lotInside <strong>of</strong>fice, factory, orwarehouseNear own home; yard,sidewalk, driveway, carport, onstreet immediately adjacent toown home, apartmenthall/storage area/laundry room(does not include apartmentparking lots)On the street (other thanimmediately adjacent tooWn/friend/relative/neighbar'shome)I'bncomnercial parking lotAportment parking lotOn school property (schoolparking area, ploy area, schoolbus, etc.)In a pork, field, playgroundother than schoolInside school buildingAt, in, or near afriend/relative /neighbor'shome, other building on theirproperty, yard, immediatelyadjacent to their home,apartment hall/storagearea/laundry roomI'bt ascertainedThe sample <strong>of</strong> particular households or businesses actually drownIs only one <strong>of</strong> on extremely large number <strong>of</strong> different samples thatcould have been drown. If all possible samples <strong>of</strong> a given size were tobe drown from a popUlation and the sample results were used toestimate the popUlation value for a particular characteristic, theestimates from the samples would differ somewhat from each other.These differences are distributed in a known way, however, andstatistical sampling theory can give on ideo <strong>of</strong> how much confidencecan be placed in the estimate <strong>of</strong> a popUlation characteristic that isd::rived from a sample <strong>of</strong> a given size. Using a statistic called thestandard error <strong>of</strong> the estimate, we can create on interval around thesample characteristic in such a way as to know the probability thatir.tervals mode in thi~ manner contain the population characteristic.Because the method utilized in the production <strong>of</strong> these standarderrors and confidence intervals is based on approximations, thestandard errors are on Indication <strong>of</strong> the order <strong>of</strong> magnitUde <strong>of</strong> thestandard error rather than the precise standard error, for any specificitem. I t should be noted that as finer and finer breakdowns <strong>of</strong> thepopulation are mode--for example, along dimensions <strong>of</strong> race, income,age, etc.--the size <strong>of</strong> the standard error, relative to the size <strong>of</strong> theestimate, can be expected to increase. ---\j{·i;i:1IJ!rI:I : ijIIIIiIDefinitions <strong>of</strong> personal crime categoriesI.

AppendicesJlPPENDIX 12Table 2 Distribution <strong>of</strong> reports across jurisdictions that submitted case data(N=420,216)National Analysis <strong>of</strong> Official Child Neglect and Abuse Reporting-­Study methodologyAbuse/Abuse Neglect neglect Olher a TotalNJTE: The following information was provided to SOURCEBOOK staff by the American HumaneAssociation.The National Study on Child Neglect and Abuse Reporting is aproject conducted by the American Humane Association and funded bythe National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect <strong>of</strong> the U.S. Department<strong>of</strong> Health and Human Services. It began as a grant awarded to theAmerican Humane Association in 1973 to determine the feasibility <strong>of</strong>operating a national clearinghouse for child abuse and neglect reportsin order to be able to describe the national status <strong>of</strong> the childmaltreatment problem. In 1976, detailed analyses <strong>of</strong> the data werefirst available. In 1978, the American Humane Association, inconjunction with the Denver Research Institute, was awarded acontract to continue the work <strong>of</strong> the clearinghouse, to more carefullydefine the data set, and to provide training and technical assistance toStates.The rosie objectives <strong>of</strong> the clearinghouse function <strong>of</strong> the NationalStudy are as follows: (I) determine the number <strong>of</strong> families, allegedperpetrators, and involved children on <strong>of</strong>ficial reports <strong>of</strong> childmaltreatment; (2) determine the source <strong>of</strong> referral and the geographicdistribution <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficial reports; (3) describe the characteristics <strong>of</strong>families, peroetrators, and children involved in <strong>of</strong>ficial reports and,where possible, compare then against the general population; (4)describe the response <strong>of</strong> the child protective services system to thereport; and (5) identify and describe trends in the reporting dataacross and within jurisdictions.Procedures for data collection and analysisThe data collected by the National Study are basically <strong>of</strong> twotypes: summary data, used to describe the extent <strong>of</strong> reportedmaltreatment on a national basis; and case information, used todescribe the dynamics <strong>of</strong> reporting and also the nature <strong>of</strong> what wasreported. Jurisdictions that submit case data do so voluntarily. Most<strong>of</strong>ten, participation in the National Study is integrated into thejurisdiction's child protective services management information system.During 1982, all 50 States, the District <strong>of</strong> Columbia, and threeU.S. Territories participated in the National Study to some degree.The 37 fully participating jurisdictions submitted case data by means <strong>of</strong>either nonidentifying copies <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficial reparting forms or a data tapethat contained reporting data organized by case (Level I). Theremaining jurisdictions submitted sumnary statistics to the NationalStudy (Level 2). Table I shows the distribution <strong>of</strong> participation ateach level.Prior to inclusion, each record must meet certain minimumcriteria for completeness and must successfully pass a series <strong>of</strong> editspecifications to insure the integrity <strong>of</strong> the data base. Forms that failediting at any point are either corrected by the National Study staff orare returned to the originating participant jurisdiction for correctionand resubmittal.Potentially any jurisdictional reporting form is appropriate forcollection <strong>of</strong> National Study data. However, only those data items thatare compatible with the National Study's masterfile can be used.Jurisdictions can and do vary in terms <strong>of</strong> how milch <strong>of</strong> their data canbe actually included in the data base.Data compatability is determined through a mapping process,which essentially entails verifying with the jurisdiction that thepurpose and meaning <strong>of</strong> a particular data element on their form is thesame as that <strong>of</strong> a corresponding National Study data element. Hence,the total number <strong>of</strong> reports used in each data table varies. This is afunction <strong>of</strong> two types <strong>of</strong> data completeness: the actual number <strong>of</strong>campatible data elements and the combination <strong>of</strong> compatible dataelements that constitute a data category.Fully participatingAlaskaArizonaArkansasColoradoDelawareDistrict <strong>of</strong>ColumbiaFloridaGeorgiaHawaiiIllinoisIndianaIowaKentuckyLouisianaMaineMichiganMinnesotaMississippiTableLevelMissouriNebraskaNevadaNew HompshireNew MexicoNew YorkNarth CarolinaNcnh DakotaOhioPennsylvaniaRhode IslandSouth CarolinaTexasUtahVermontVirginiaWisconsinGuamVirgin IslandsLevel 2Summary statisticsAlabamaCaliforniaConnecti cutIdahoKansasMarylandMassachusettsMontanaNew Jer5eyOklahomaOregonPuerto RicoSouth DakotaTennesseeWashingtonWest VirginiaWyomingTable 2 shows the distribution <strong>of</strong> reports across jurisdictions thatsubmitted case data. These reports constituted the data bank used inthe analyses <strong>of</strong> case information. It is important to remind the reader,however, that although the majority <strong>of</strong> reports represent the same set<strong>of</strong> data elements, some do not. In addition, there was variation in thecompleteness <strong>of</strong> each report's data set. For these reasons, all <strong>of</strong> thereports in the !'lational Study data base were not always used to derivea given statistical summary. The "N" fer each data table varies as afunction <strong>of</strong> data element compatibility and data set completeness.Interpretation <strong>of</strong> the dataReporting on a national level has increased by 106 percent since1976. This can be attributed to a number <strong>of</strong> factors. First, it must bepointed out that it may be impossible to determine if an increase inreporting is directly related to an increase in the number <strong>of</strong> childrenwho are maltreated. The main reason for this is that there is nonationally standardized definition <strong>of</strong> maltreatment. Further, individualjurisdictions continue to modify reporting legislation to encompass newreportable conditions, e.g., emotional maltreatment. Reporting"measures" different phenomena in each jurisdiction and, in addition,what is measured in each jUrisdiction may change each year.Compounding this situation is that it is known that not all occurrences<strong>of</strong> maltreatment are reported. It is likely that the increase inreporting is due to improved accountability on the port <strong>of</strong> jurisdictionalsystems.In addition to reflecting broadened reportable conditions andimproved accountability, the increase in reporting also reflectsincreased public awareness <strong>of</strong> the child maltreatment problem, and acorresponding increase in willingness to report.It is interesting to note, however, that the magnitude <strong>of</strong> theincrease from one year to another has been steadily decreasing withtime. It is unlikely that this means that reported incidence isapproaching actual incidence for the reasons mentioned above. Rather,it probably reflects a steady approach to the limit in terms <strong>of</strong> whatchild protective services can handle.!i1\IiiIIILJII!I" I'hIiii"Alaska 0 0 0 2,649 2,649Arizona 1,452 1,530 148 4,58U 7,710Afkansas 3,073 4,607 1,074 0 8,754Colorado 0 0 0 5,446 5,446Delaware 450 698 190 928 2,266District <strong>of</strong> Columbia 0 0 0 1,878 1,878Florida 0 0 0 46,035 46,035Georgia 2,885 5,685 833 5,051 14,454Howaii 1,075 437 157 14 1,683Illinois 10,845 14,383 6,784 II 32,023Indiana 5,570 6,061 4 119 11,754Iowa 0 0 0 14,062 14,062Kentucky 3,110 4,589 0 80 7,779Louisiana 2,911 6,648 1,346 189 11,094Maine 778 1,141 851 II 2,781Michigan 4,341 8,527 298 19,153 32,319Minnesota 4,050 2,765 968 9 7,791Mississippi 0 0 0 2,813 2,813Missouri 4,181 9,858 819 13,574 28,432Nebraska 0 0 0 1,497 1,497Nevada 1,023 1,878 292 78 3,271New Hampshire 0 0 0 2,136 2,163New Mexico 1,225 1,937 384 32 3,57!lNew York 2,596 13,878 27,200 8,132 51,806Narth Carolina 0 0 0 15,830 15,830North Dakota 454 849 226 20 1,549Ohio 6,252 7,345 1,823 1,094 16,514Pennsylvania 0 0 0 13,653 13,6$:~Rhode Island 380 272 98 59 ;:'l!l"South Carolina 3,S02 7,162 728 298 II ,~~(jTexas 0 0 0 29,660 29,660Ulah 0 0 0 4,651 4,651Vermont 385 411 455 2 1,253Virginia 0 0 0 14,253 14,253Wisconsin 3,514 2,453 317 15 6,299Guam 2 3 I 0 6Virgin Islands 19 8 10 I 38Total 64,073 103,124 45,006 208,013 420,216a"Other" incudes all <strong>of</strong> those reports not clearly labelled as either "abuse""neglect," or "abuse/neglect," or those for which "type <strong>of</strong> repart" was missing ~rincompatible with National Study criteria.~659658


------------ - -APPENDIX 14APPENDIX 13Discipline, Order and Student Behavior in American High Schools-­Survey methodology and definitions <strong>of</strong> terms!\oTE: The following information was excerpted from U.S. Deportment <strong>of</strong> Education, Notional Centerfor Education <strong>Statistics</strong>, Discipline, Order and Student Behavior in American High Schools(Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1982), pp. xiii-xiv, II, 12, Appendix A.The data and analyses presented in this report are from the first(1980) wove <strong>of</strong> the Notional Center for Education <strong>Statistics</strong> study, HighSchool and Beyond, a longitudinal study <strong>of</strong> U.S. high school seniors andsophomores. This study was conducted for the Notional Center forEducation <strong>Statistics</strong> by the Notional Opinion Research Center at theUniversity <strong>of</strong> Chicago.Survey methodologyThe sample was a two-stage stratified probability sample withschools within a stratum drown with a probability proportional to theirsize. Once a school was selected, up to 36 sophomores and 36 seniorswere drawn randomly from the students enrolled in each selectedschool.Several special strata were included in the sample design.Schools in these special strata were selected with probabilities higherthan those for schools in regular strata to allow for special study <strong>of</strong>certain types <strong>of</strong> schools or students. The following kinds <strong>of</strong> schoolswere oversampled: public schools with high proportions <strong>of</strong> Hispanic(Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Mexican) students; Catholic schools withhigh proportions <strong>of</strong> minority group students; public alfernative schools;private schools with high proportions <strong>of</strong> Notional Merit Scholarshipfinalists. Substitutions were mode for noncooperating schools in thosestrata where it was possible. Out <strong>of</strong> 1,122 possible schools, students at1,015 schools and school administrators from 988 schools filled outquestionnaires.In many schools the actual number <strong>of</strong> seniors and sophomores wasless than the target number for several reasons. First, in some schoolsfewer than 36 sophomores or 36 seniors were enrolled. This reducedthe number <strong>of</strong> eligible students from 73,O!J0 (72 students in each <strong>of</strong>1,015 schools) to 70,704. Second, 8,278 students were absent on thesurvey dote. Third, 1,982 students, or in some cases their parents,declined to po,ticipate, exercising their right in a voluntary survey.Substi tutions were not mode for noncooperating students. Finally,2,174 cases were deleted because they contained only very incampleteinformation. Thus, the main student sample consists <strong>of</strong> 30,030sophomores and 28,240 seniors. This represents a completion rate <strong>of</strong> 82percent: 58,270 out <strong>of</strong> the 70,704 eligible students. This report, likeothers in this series, is based on a slightly larger number (30,263sophomores and 2!J,465 seniors), since the twins <strong>of</strong> some sampledstudents were included in the original data files.Weights were calculated to reflect differential probabilities <strong>of</strong>sample selection and to adjust for non-response. Using appropriateweights yields estimotes for high school sophomores and seniors in theUnited Sta.~s and separate estimotes for schools or students classifiedin various ways, such as by geographical region or school type.The use <strong>of</strong> weighted frequencies in the computation <strong>of</strong> the tables<strong>of</strong> the report has implications for the interpretation <strong>of</strong> table entries.660Weighted and unweighted frequencies cannot be used interchangeably.Thus, for exarns on the nonmedical use <strong>of</strong> psychotherapeutics. These formsWeTe filled out by the respondent while the interviewer read thequestions aloud. On certain later answer sheets, interviewers usedtheir judgment on whether or not to <strong>of</strong>fer respondents the option <strong>of</strong>reading silently and filling the sheets out entirely on their own.Definitions <strong>of</strong> termsAlcohol-1982: beer, _wine, and liquor, like whiskey or gin. 1979:beer, wine, and whiskey, gin, other hard liquors. 1977, 1976, and 1974:beer, wine, whiskey, or anything else to drink with alcohol in it. 1972:beer, wine, hard liquor like cocktails or highballs, or on the rocks, orstraight shots.

Nonsubstantiveeditorial adaptations have been made.the data used to derive the national estimates for 1975-80re;->resen t subsamples drawn from a larger data base. The total database and the subsample for each year are as follows:1975--The total data base consists <strong>of</strong> over 580,000 casesreported from 13 States. The total population <strong>of</strong> these 13 Statesrepresented 42 percent <strong>of</strong> the en1'ire U.S. population and 41 percent <strong>of</strong>the total youth population at risk (from age 10 to the upper age <strong>of</strong>juvenile court jurisdiction).The subsample was generated from 10 States. They include:Connecticut, Marylond, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia in the East;Alabama and Mississippi in the South; Ohio, Kansas, and Nebraska in theMidwest· and California in the West. New York, Florida, and Idahodata we;e excluded because <strong>of</strong> inconsistencies In the methods <strong>of</strong>reporting. The sample <strong>of</strong> these 10 States comprises a total <strong>of</strong> 555counties out a <strong>of</strong> a possible 3, I 4 I nationwide. The sample represents27 percent <strong>of</strong> the total child population within the courts with juvenilejurisdiction. A total number <strong>of</strong> 372,592 cases comprises the sampleused to generate 1975 national estimates.1976--The total data base contains more than 707,000 caserecords collet!ted from 17 States and the District <strong>of</strong> Columbia.

Data from 830 <strong>of</strong> the 3, I 43 counties inthe United States, containing mare than one-third <strong>of</strong> the total childpopulation within the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> juvenile courts <strong>of</strong> the UnitedStates, are represented.1980--The primary data base consists <strong>of</strong> more than 435,000 caserecords from courts with juvenile jurisdiction in 13 States (Alabama,Californfo, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland,Nebraska, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and WestVirginia); Maricopa County, Arizona; and Shelby County, Tennessee.Data from 741 <strong>of</strong> the 3,137 count!e:l in the United States, containingmore than one-quarter <strong>of</strong> the total cilHd population within theJurisdiction <strong>of</strong> juvenile courts <strong>of</strong> the United States, are represented.Child popuiation at riskDeveloping national estimates for 1980 required that the childpapulation at risk be determined for each <strong>of</strong> the 3, i 37 counties in theUo1ited States. "Child population at risk" is defined as the number <strong>of</strong>chi Idren from the age <strong>of</strong> 10 through the lJ,:;per age <strong>of</strong> juvenile courtjurisdiction. Although there may be exclusions based on instant<strong>of</strong>fense, or a combination <strong>of</strong> instant <strong>of</strong>fense and prior delinquencyhistory, the age at which an individual is no longer considered underjuvenile court jurisdiction is defined by State statute. In 191J0, in 37States and in the District <strong>of</strong> Columbia, individuals 18 years <strong>of</strong> oge orolder were within the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> the criminal courts. In eightStates (Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri,South Carolina, and Texas) individuals had to be at least 17 years <strong>of</strong>age to be within the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> the criminal court, in four States(Connecticut, New York, North Carolina, and Vermont) the individualhad to be at least 16 years <strong>of</strong> age, and in Wyoming individuals had tobe at least 19 years <strong>of</strong> age to be routinely processed as an adult(Source, p. 3 I).Though both public and private sources were checked extensively,no ,ource <strong>of</strong> popUlation estimates by county and age was available forI ~75-79. However, the 197U census data contained information in thisform, and this Information was utilized. In addition, the U.S. <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong>the Census, under special contract from the Notional Cancer Institute,had produced population estimates for each year, 1975 through 1979, bycounty in five-~ear age groupings (0 to 4, 5 to 9, etc.).Using the following method, estimates <strong>of</strong> child population at riskwere made for each year from 1975 through 1979. From the 197Ucensus, a summation <strong>of</strong> the number <strong>of</strong> children in a county from 0through 4 years <strong>of</strong> age was made to obtain a total estimate <strong>of</strong> thechildren in this age range. SimilarlY, the process was repeated for the5 through 9 a;ld the 10 through 14 age groups. A percentage <strong>of</strong> thetotal for a particular age was calCUlated by dividing the number <strong>of</strong>children <strong>of</strong> a single age by the total number <strong>of</strong> children in its five-yeargroup. Thus, the relative percentages were d'atermined for 5-, 6-, 7-,8-, and 9-year-olds in 1970; and from the 1975 census estimates, thetotal number <strong>of</strong> youth was determined in the 10 through 14 age groupin 1975 (from the National Cancer Institute data). It was assumedthat the relative percentage <strong>of</strong> 5-year-olds in the 5-to-9 group in 1970would be equivalent to the relative percentage <strong>of</strong> JO-year-olds in 1975.Continuing with this procedure, 1975 estimates <strong>of</strong> the number <strong>of</strong>children <strong>of</strong> each age group from 10 through 19 were developed for eachcounty.Another assumption was that the change in single age populationsfrom 1975 to 1979 would be minimal. For example, the estimate <strong>of</strong> 9-year-olds in 1975 was used as the estimate <strong>of</strong> 13-year-olds in 1979.Knowing the upper age <strong>of</strong> jurisdiction in each county, as estimate wascalculated for the number <strong>of</strong> children from 10 through the upper age <strong>of</strong>jurisdiction (the child population at risk) for each <strong>of</strong> the 3, I 43counties. AJth~..:!)h migration, undercounting, and death rates wouldaffect the extrapalaj Ion af population estimates from one year toanother, It was aS~Jmed that these factors would be <strong>of</strong> minimalimportance for the target group ,nd that they would be <strong>of</strong> minorImportance compared with the impact <strong>of</strong> birth rates and childpopulations. In 1980 the child population at risk was derived form the1980 decennial census counts provided by the U.S. <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> theCensus, unlike the previous ye(jr~ in which the child population at riskfigures were based on estimates developed by the U.S. <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> theCensus.


--~- ~-..---Estimating procedure<strong>Sourcebook</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Criminal</strong> <strong>Justice</strong> <strong>Statistics</strong> <strong>1983</strong>The primary task was to describe the number and nature <strong>of</strong> thejuvenile court cases handled notionally in each <strong>of</strong> the survey years.Data were available from the reporting counties; for those counties notreporting, e$timates hod to be generated. The adopted estimatingprocedure assumed that the best method for predicting the number andtypes <strong>of</strong> cases for non-reporting jurisdictions was to use the data forsimilar reporting jurisdictions as a guide."Similar" was operationalized, or given a working definition, byusing population at risk as a criterion. Jurisdictions <strong>of</strong> similar size(based on population at risk) were conceptualized as belonging to thesome cluster. Clusters were formed based on the following concerns.First, the range <strong>of</strong> population at risk within a cluster hod to be smallenough to assure a reasonable similarity in rhe relative sizes <strong>of</strong> thecounties. Second, it was necessary to define on adequate number <strong>of</strong>reporting jurisdictions within a cluster to assure the stability <strong>of</strong> thatcluster's estimates. Accordingly, the 3,137 counties were divided into10 clusters.Estimates were mode for non-reporting jurisdictions by using theinformation from reporting jurisdictions within the some cluster. It wasassumed that the dynamics that produce the juvenile cases within acluster are shored by all the counties in the cluster and are unique tothat cluster. Thus, if a model could be developed to reproduce tbedata from reporting counties within a cluster, then this model could beapplied to non-reporting jurisdictions <strong>of</strong> that cluster to generatepredictions <strong>of</strong> their caseloods. .Descriptive variables found in the City/County Data Book (U.S.<strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Census) were utilized to identify characteristics <strong>of</strong> thecounties, which could be incorporated into the madel to produce theseestimates., This volume contains approximately 200 descriptivevariables on individual counties detailing such information aspopulation, income level, educational characteristics, labor force,housiriJ, and type <strong>of</strong> government. These data were used as predictorsin the madel. To reduce the potential predictors to a workable numberend to minimize covariation and duplication <strong>of</strong> information, eachvariable was correlated with the total number <strong>of</strong> cases in each <strong>of</strong> thereporting jurisdictions. Only variables that were significant Iycorrelated with the number <strong>of</strong> cases were retained. This processreduced the number <strong>of</strong> variables <strong>of</strong> inten~st to approximately 99(depending on the particular survey year in question). Next, thereduction procedure created summary variables, grouping theseindividual variables under broader headings. A principal componentsfactor analysis <strong>of</strong> the variables yielded summary factors thatincorporated the distinctions found in the original variables, accountingfor approximately 68 percent <strong>of</strong> the variance <strong>of</strong> the original variables.After determining that these summary factors were reliabledescri;Jtors <strong>of</strong> the counties, they were utilized to develop regressionequations that produced estimates <strong>of</strong> the number <strong>of</strong> cases handled byeach jurisdiction reporting within each cluster. Applying the someequations to the non-n~porting jurisdictions, estimotes <strong>of</strong> individualcaseloads were produced. By summing over the case loads (eitherreported or predicted), it was possible to estimate the total number <strong>of</strong>cases from all the counties in a cluster and, subsequently, the totalnumber <strong>of</strong> cases handled notionally. (The 1975 estimating proceduresdiffer slightly from those described above; for a discussion <strong>of</strong> 1975estimating procedures, see Delinquency 1975, pp. II -4-11-10.It was also necessary to estimate the nature <strong>of</strong> all the caseshandled by the juvenile court system--for example, type <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fense, sex<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fender, reClSon for referral, time in system, and disposition. Byusing the assumption that the reporting courts in a clusterapprOXimately represent the non-reporting courts' data, a weightingprocedure was developed to estimate the nature <strong>of</strong> the cases in thecluster as a whole, including the non-reporting courts. If, for example,the reported cases within a cluster represented 25 percent <strong>of</strong> the totalestimated number <strong>of</strong> cases for that cluster, by weighting each case bya factor <strong>of</strong> 4 (total estimated number <strong>of</strong> cases in the cluster divided bythe total number <strong>of</strong> cases from the reporting jurisdictions in thecluster), it was possible !o represent not only the number <strong>of</strong> cases butalso the nature <strong>of</strong> the cases. By employing this process <strong>of</strong> developingweights to permit the sample data to represent the popUlation, detailedestimates <strong>of</strong> the Notion's juvenile court cases were produced.Data collectionIdentification <strong>of</strong> States that collect information on the processing<strong>of</strong> youths through the juvenile justice system is made through contactwith individuals and agencies with responsibi lity to collect or to reportjuvenile court statistics. States that compile information on a regularbasis and have data on a computer-readable medium are sent writtenrequests for the data; the information is then transmitted to theNotional Center for Juvenile <strong>Justice</strong>.Variations in information compilation and interpretation arechecked with the respective State personnel and edited by the NotionalCenter for Juvenile <strong>Justice</strong> st<strong>of</strong>f. Tne data are then transformed into astandard format for the natio/lal file. JUrisdictio>lal differences injuvenile court statutes and procedures used to collect the data cousesome problems with uniformity that cannot be corrected. The Sourcenotes, among other limitations <strong>of</strong> the data, the following:--The accl'racy (reliability and validity) <strong>of</strong> the originalcoding proces. is unknown.--There are wide ranges <strong>of</strong> definitions regarding courtdispositions.--The reasons for referral to court and their definitionsvary dramatically.--Some State statutes exclude major crimes (j.e., homicide,forcible rope, and aggravated assault) from the jurisdiction <strong>of</strong> thejuvenile court, while other State statutes exclude types <strong>of</strong> minorcrimes (i.e., fish and game violations).--Some States differentiated between specific types <strong>of</strong>crime, while others used brooder categories for their <strong>of</strong>fenses(i.e., larceny was alternately defined a! grand larceny, petitlarceny, shoplifting, and larceny except s,10plifting).--Some States changed their reporting system, whichaltered some <strong>of</strong> the variables and values reported during thereporting period.--The <strong>of</strong>fense labels are not always an accurate indicator <strong>of</strong>actual behavior (j.e., larceny may vary from stealing bubble gumto the theft <strong>of</strong> a handgun).--The data represent cases disposed <strong>of</strong> by courts; they donot represent individuals, nor do they represent incidents.Definitions <strong>of</strong> tennsOffense categories--The Notional Center for Juvenile <strong>Justice</strong>utilizes the <strong>of</strong>fense categories defined by the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong><strong>Justice</strong>, Federal <strong>Bureau</strong> <strong>of</strong> Investigation, Uniform Crime ReportingProgram. For detailed definitions <strong>of</strong> these <strong>of</strong>fense categories, seeAppendix 2.'Unit <strong>of</strong> count--The unit <strong>of</strong> count refel ~ to a case disposed <strong>of</strong> bya court with juvenile jurisdiction during the reporting year. The term"disposed <strong>of</strong>" means that some definite action was token or sometreatmenf plan was decided upon or begun. Each "case" represents ayouth referred to court, with or without a petition during the year, ora new referral for one <strong>of</strong> the reasons described it'l "reason for referral";it does not include traffic, dependency an.J neglect cases, or specialproceedings brought before the court.Race--The reporthlg <strong>of</strong> race varied greetly. Some Statesreported white, block, and other, whfle a few States reported tencategories <strong>of</strong> race. For the purpose <strong>of</strong> consistency omang States, threecategories <strong>of</strong> race were selected. The "other" category refers to allraces that were reported as anything other than white or block.Source <strong>of</strong> referralLaw enforcement agency--The term "law enforcement"should be interpreted as including metropolitan police, Statepolice, pork police, sheriffs, constables, police assigned to thejuvenile court for special duty, and all others performing a policefunction with the exception <strong>of</strong> probation <strong>of</strong>ficers and <strong>of</strong>ficers <strong>of</strong>the court.Parents or relatives--This category includes the youth'sown parents, foster parents, adoptive parents, step parents,grandparents, aunts, uncles, and other legal guardians.School department-- This term includes counselors,attendance <strong>of</strong>ficers, teachers, principals, superintendents <strong>of</strong>schools, and member <strong>of</strong> the board <strong>of</strong> education.Probation <strong>of</strong>ficer--A probation <strong>of</strong>ficer was considered tobe an <strong>of</strong>ficer <strong>of</strong> the court or any person designated to perform (Jprobation function.Social agency--This category includes both public ondpriVate agencies, such os a department <strong>of</strong> public welfare, theboard <strong>of</strong> health, a children's aid society, a child-welfare boord,and institutions coring for children (such as homes for dependentchildren, hospitals, group homes, runaway homes, and agenciesthat perform functions <strong>of</strong> after-care, parole, and correction).Other court--1975-77: this catl,lgory includes any courtthat is physically locoted in another district, has no lega Ijurisdiction over th .. ",.,se, or has concurrent jurisdiction with thejuvenile court that hod original jurisdiction over the case; 1978and 1979: includes any court other than The court disposing <strong>of</strong> thecase.Reason for referral--1975-77: this includes attempting tocommit or committing <strong>of</strong>fenses (behavior that is defined as constitutingjuvenile delinquency or in need <strong>of</strong> supervision by State or local low),but does not include traffic, dependency and neglect cases, or specialproceedings brought before the court; 1978 and 1979: attempts tocommit on <strong>of</strong>fense were included under the <strong>of</strong>fense behavior, except forattempted murder, which was included in the assault category.Definitions <strong>of</strong> termsAPPENDIX 16Probation in the United States-­Definitions <strong>of</strong> terms and survey methodologyNJTE: This information was provided by the Notional Council on Crime and Delinquency, ResearchCenter West. , I P b t' R t gramThe 1981 probation data were provided to the Natlona ;0 ,a Ion epor ,s provoluntarily by central reporting agencies in 0/1 50 States, the District <strong>of</strong> Columbia, and theFederal Probation System.Entries--Persons entering probation directly fro,:! a sente,nclngcourt, or from a correctional facility as a result <strong>of</strong> spirt sentencing orsentence modification. , 'Exits--Persons removed from probation including discharges(termination, completion <strong>of</strong> terms, and early discharges)" revoc;:ationand commitment to incarcerotion, and people who die while onprobation.Probation population--AII adults who have been placed underthe supervisory auth!l~ity <strong>of</strong> a probation agency as port <strong>of</strong> a courtorder.

It is based on data collected fromthese units by the Notional Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) through theClient Oriented Data Acquisition Process (CODAP). CODN' is arequired reporting process for all drug abuse treatment andrehabilitation units receiving Federal funds for the provision <strong>of</strong> drugabuse treatment and rehabilitation services. CODAP admission anddischarge forms are completed for each client admitted to anddischarged from these clinics, regardless <strong>of</strong> source <strong>of</strong> funding supportfor any particular client. Thus, CODN' data reflect all clients treatedI at CODN' reparting units, not just those clients specifically supportedby Federal funds. CODN' Client Flow Summary forms are completedeach month by every clinic that reparts through COOftP, regardle,. <strong>of</strong>1: whether the clinic has any current admissions or discharges or anyactive clients in treatment.The data presented are based on a data file that has been editedI'I for internal consistency. The following information should beconsidered when using the reported data.Each admission reported on a CODN' form does not necessarilyj; represent a different client. To reduce multiple counting <strong>of</strong> someindividuals, records that represent transfer admissions between COON'I': clinics within a program are not included in the tables that containdata on clients admitted during the year.Tables that contain data on clients discharged during the yearI: are based on matched admission and discharge reparts. Thus, dischargeI reports for which there were no matching admission reports ore! excluded from these tables. - .To avoid the loss <strong>of</strong> useable information, reports with someincomplete or invalid information were retained and are excluded onlyIfrom those tabulations involving the specific items with Invalid1 responses. Thus, the number <strong>of</strong> clients on which related tables are~based varies somewhat from table to table.!In some instances, drug problem type and/or severity wasincorrectly reported on the CODN' forms. All tables in this report{ present data according to primary drug <strong>of</strong> abuse; thus, records onwhich the client's primary drug problem could not be identified areI excluded.Percentages shown in the tables have been rounded to thenearest tenth <strong>of</strong> a percent, i.e., fractional percentages <strong>of</strong> 0.05 orgreater have been rounded to the next higher tenth <strong>of</strong> a percent. Thist, rounding process results in some percent distributions adding to 99 orIU I percent; however, all "totals" reflect 100 percent.'I I; \ Definitions <strong>of</strong> termsIii \Age at admission--Derived by subtracting a client's year <strong>of</strong>: ~birth from year <strong>of</strong> admission to treatment.;1Age at first use--The chronological age at which a person firsti I! i used the drug now listed as his/her primary drug problem.jDrug users {clients)--Persons admitted to a clinic for theprevention <strong>of</strong> treatment <strong>of</strong> a drug problem; they are assigned to atreatment plan and receive the clinical and supportive servicesJ! identified in the regimen. Criteria for completing treatment arei Ii established at this time. When a clinic's Federal contract or grant,jstates that both prevention and treatment services are to be provided,the persons receiving prevention services are also considered clients.l IIIi ., The guidelines <strong>of</strong> the Federal funding agencies state that a client is'I ! considered active if he/she receives treatment services at least once!q i every 30 days. Only active clients are reported on CODAP. If the.J client has not received treatment or direct services for 30 days, he orilIshe must be discharged from the COON' reporting system. Partiali services are occasionally <strong>of</strong>fered to community groups, clients' families,iIand individuals; this activity is not repo,'led by CODN' clinic!; because1I r the people involved in receiving partial services ore not treated forIIdiagnosed drug problems.i'Drug types--Drugs are classified into 12 categorie~: heroin;other opiates--illegal methadone, opium, morphine, codeine, Demerol,il II Dilaudld, etc.; marihuana/hashish--includes THC, "hash oil," otherIJcannabis preparations; barblturates--phenobarbltal, Seconal, Nembutal,"etc.; omphetamines--Benzedrine, Dexedrine, methamphetamine, "speed,"Iijand related compounds such as Preludin, Ritalin, etc.; alcohol; cocaine;~ ! halluclnogens--LSD, mescaline, psilocybin, MCA, DMT, ffilJshrooms,I'peyote, etc.; PCP--"angel dust"; tranquilizers--Jibrlum, Valium,fi I!\'This information was excerpted from the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong> !-balth and Human Services,National Institute on Drug Abuse, Annual Data 1981, Data from the Client Oriented DataAcquisition Process (CODAP), Statistical Series E, No. 25 (Washington, D.C.: U.S. GovernmentPrinting Office, 1982), pp. I, 2, 369-374.
