Summary of Chapter 19: Longitudinal panel data offer criminologists and criminal justice scholars the opportunity to investigate the causes and consequences of offending across time. One of the most popular longitudinal data sets used in the fields of criminology and criminal justice is the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). This chapter provides an overview of the NLSY97, outlines the rationale and strategy for the data collection, and describes the structure and measures included within this data set. NLSY97 researchers used a stratified multistage probability sample consisting of two phases. Phase one focused on identifying households for the screening process, which consisted of a total of 96512 households. Phase two of collection focused on identifying eligible respondents within those households. The NLSY97 contains an array of data on delinquency and criminal offending, family and peer behavior, school experiences and punishment, as well as criminal justice contact such as arrest and incarceration experiences.
