Published by National Institute of Justice | Department of Justice | Metadata Last Checked: November 14, 2025 | Last Modified: 2006-03-30T00:00:00
This study was designed by American criminologist Marvin Wolfgang as a replication of his DELINQUENCY IN A BIRTH COHORT studies conducted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (ICPSR 7729 and ICPSR 9293). The focus of the study is a cohort of all persons born in 1973 in the Wuchang District of the city of Wuhan. This district was selected because it was a populous commercial and residential area. The cohort birth year was chosen to reflect the impact of major economic and social changes in China. Data include interviews with all known criminal offenders as of 1990 and with a matched comparison sample. Additional residential, demographic, and updated criminal history data as of 2000 were collected on all persons born in the 1973 Wuchang District cohort.
