Six-Year Follow-up Study on Career Criminals, 1970-1976: [United States]
The major objective of the Six-year Follow-up Study on
Career Criminals was to provide data describing the effects of
sentencing decisions on the behavior of career criminals. A second
purpose was to develop programs to target career offenders at the time
of sentencing who were likely to commit crimes in the future and
incarcerate them accordingly. The data collection includes detailed
demographic background and complete prior and follow-up criminal
records for each selected offender. There are two types of data sets in
the study, the PSI data set based on pre-sentence investigation (PSI)
reports, and the Parole data set based on Parole Commission records.
The PSI data set describes each offender's demographic background,
criminal history, and court entry/exit history. The Parole data set
contains information about the offender's background characteristics,
prior records of arrests, convictions, dispositions and sentences, and
follow-up records for a period of six years. Arrests are described in
terms of arrest date, offense charge, disposition, result of sentence,
and months incarcerated.
