Deterrent Effects of Arrests and Imprisonment in the United States, 1960-1977
Emerging from the tradition of econometric models of
deterrence and crime, this study attempts to improve estimates of how
crime rates are affected by the apprehension and punishment of persons
charged with criminal activity. These data are contained in two files:
Part 1, State Data, consists of a panel of observations from each of
the 50 states and contains information on
crime rates, clearance rates, length of time served, probability of
imprisonment, socioeconomic factors such as unemployment rates,
population levels, and income levels, and state and local expenditures
for police protection. Part 2, SMSA Data, consists of a panel of 77
SMSAs and contains information on crime rates, clearance rates, length
of time served, probability of imprisonment, socioeconomic factors
such as employment rates, population levels, and income levels, and
taxation and expenditure information.
