This is an investigation of a cohort of high school-aged
youth in Columbia, South Carolina. Surveys were conducted in three
consecutive years from 1979 to 1981 in nine high schools. Students

the same students when they were in the 11th and 12th grades. The
longitudinal data contain respondents' demographic and socioeconomic
characteristics, educational aspirations, occupational aims, and peer
group activities. Also included is information on offenses committed,
the number of times respondents were caught by the police, their
attitudes toward deviancy, and perceived certainty of punishment.
