Wright, James and Peter Rossi; ARMED CRIMINALS IN AMERICA: A SURVEY OF INCARCERATED FELONS, 1983

(ICPSR 8357)

The data for this study were collected using self-administered questionnaires given to a non-probability sample of incarcerated felons in ten states. There are 1,874 cases (surveyed persons) included in this data collection with approximately 600 variables. Each case has 10 records of information. The codebook contains information about questionnaire wording, responses, coding of the data, column location and frequencies. More specifically, the original questionnaire wording is included as well as values for missing data.

These data are contained in one file, with SPSS control cards in a second file. Information in the data include socioeconomic status of the inmate, prior criminal record, drug use, weapon usage, family history, and demographic information on the inmate. The logical record length of the data file is 89 characters; the SPSS control card file has 80 characters.

This cod.book docum.ntu the Armed Criminal in America lurvey data.

The survey data was gathered from a self-adminiltered questionnaire given to a non-probability lample of incarcerated fllonl in 10 Itltes. See SITE variable (page 1) for a list of the ,tatel.

The data file consilts of 1874 co~pllttd lurvlYI including IpproKi~atlly 600 viriabln. Each CiSl!! includes 10 records of inforution. ~!~h record contains the following fixld infor~ationl

3) Inforlltian concerning the .coding of SKIP qUlltion ••

The delign of this queltionnaire involved & Ikip logic dirmcting respondents to certain queltions based upon earlier reiponsis. At the bottom NOTE, we have indicated the Ikip pltterns.

If the "Filter" question was NO ANSWER (left blank by respondent) but the -Fallow-up" question WAS anlwered, coders were inltructed to cede this (unanswered) question 15 a positive response. (i.e., a response which would lead to the skip section.)

Q.l06 Have you ever personally lawed aff I rifll or ~hotgun?

NO 0 -- (Ikip to Q.l07) YES 1

Q.l06a About how many rifles or shotguns hive you ever Siwed off?

JUST ONE 1 A FEW 2 NOT APP 7

Using the above example, if Q.106 WIS blank but the relpondent answered "JUST ONE» to Q.l06a, Q.l06 Hould be coded II "YES". However, if both the "Filter" ind "Follow-up" qUlltionl wIre left blank, coders were instructed to code Q.l06 NO ANSWER and 106i (and all lubsequlnt questioni involved in the Ikip) I. NOT APPLICABLE.

For lome filter qUlltions, it WII necillary to Add. "VES, BUT MISSING" code to retain the lubsequent skip informltion. Thill added codes were for questions containing I choice of positive responses. For ex amp 1 e I

7) For all open~ended questions, explicit codes were developed based on frequency of re!pen~e. All ether respenses, net explicitly noted, were assigned the designated cede "ALL OTHERS". The full lilt of such responses for each question il shewn in Appendix A,
