Drug Abuse as a Predictor of Rearrest or Failure to Appear in Court in New York City, 1984
This data collection was undertaken to estimate the
prevalence of drug use/drug use trends among booked arrestees in New
York City and to analyze the relationship between drug use and crime.
The data, which were collected over a six-month period, were generated
from volunteer interviews with male arrestees, the analyses of their
urine specimens, police and court records of prior criminal behavior
and experience with the criminal justice system, and records of each
arrestee's current case, including court warrants, rearrests, failures
to appear, and court dispositions. Demographic variables include age,
education, vocational training, marital status, residence, and
employment. Items relating to prior and current drug use and drug
dependency are provided, along with results from urinalysis tests for
opiates, cocaine, PCP, and methadone. The collection also contains
arrest data for index crimes and subsequent court records pertaining
to those arrests (number of court warrants issued, number of pretrial
rearrests, types of rearrests, failure to appear in court, and court
dispositions), and prior criminal records (number of times arrested
and convicted for certain offenses).
