Criminal Histories and Criminal Justice Processing of Drug Use Forecasting (DUF) Sample Members in Washington, DC, 1989-1991
These data provide information on the relationship between
arrestee drug tests and future criminality once other risk factors,
such as prior criminal history, are accounted for. Also explored is
whether the association between drug test results and future offending
varies depending upon the attributes of individual offenders. The
dataset contains information drawn from the Pretrial Services Agency
(PSA) in Washington, DC, and the National Institute of Justice's Drug
Use Forecasting (DUF) program. Data are available from each source for
1989 and 1990 with subsequent arrest data provided by PSA through
August 1991. The 1989-1990 data supplied by PSA contain information on
criminal history and drug test results taken at the time of arrest.
Data provided from the DUF program include drug test results from a
sample of persons arrested as well as information obtained from
arrestee interviews on items such as family and work status. The
combined data contain the arrestees' demographic characteristics,
arrest and charge information, prior criminal history, and subsequent
offending. Drugs tested for include cocaine, opiates, methadone, PCP,
amphetamines, barbiturates, marijuana, methaqualone, Darvon, and
Valium. In addition, self-reported information regarding an
individual's use of and dependency on these drugs is supplied.
Demographic information includes age, sex, income, and employment
status. Due to changes in the DUF measurement instrument from 1989 to
1990, the variables contained in the two data files are not completely
identical.
