Adult Criminal Careers, Michigan: 1974-1977
These data, taken from the computerized criminal history
files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, were collected to develop
estimates of the extent and variation of individual offending. Included
are the adult criminal records of individuals 17 years of age and older
arrested in Michigan from 1974 to 1977. The primary criterion for
inclusion in the sample was at least one arrest in Michigan for murder,
rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, or auto theft. Once
sampled, the arrest history includes data on all recorded arrests
through 1977, regardless of offense type. The full dataset includes
records for 41,191 individuals for a total of 200,007 arrests. The
dataset is organized by individual and includes demographic
characteristics of the individual (birth date, state of birth, sex, and
race) followed by information from the individual's arrest record in
chronological order. The arrest records include the date of arrest, the
offenses charged, the disposition (convicted, dismissed, or acquitted),
and the sentence. Because the data are organized by individual, they
are suitable for longitudinal analyses of individual offending patterns
over time.
