Relationships Between Employment and Crime: A Survey of Brooklyn Residents, 1979-1980
The study was designed to explore the relationship between
employment and involvement with the criminal justice system. Males
arrested primarily for felony offenses were interviewed at the central
booking agency in Brooklyn, New York, at the time of their arrests in
1979. A subsample of 152 arrestees was reinterviewed in 1980. The
data include information on labor market participation, arrests,
periods of incarceration, and the respondents' demographic
characteristics. The labor market information spans a two-year period
prior to those arrests. Arrest history and other criminal justice
data cover the two years prior to arrest and one year following the
arrest. Additional variables supply information on employment and
occupation, social and neighborhood characteristics, and perceptions
of the risk of committing selected crimes.
