Comment mesurer la délinquance des toxicomanes adultes ? Une comparaison empirique de la validité des registres de police et des sondages de délinquance autoreportée

Abstract: IntroductionIl est bien connu que les indicateurs de la criminalité présentent des problèmes de fiabilité et de validité qui les empêchent de mesurer de manière précise le comportement délinquant. Dans ce contexte, la comparaison des délits enregistrés par différents indicateurs durant la même période et pour le même groupe de personnes s'avère particuliè-rement intéressante, parce qu'elle permet d'apprécier les convergences et les divergences des indicateurs comparés. Néanmoins, on trouve relativement peu de … Show more

The sample considered in this research includes only cases known and solved by the police.…”

“…Despite the interest of the current findings, our study is not without its limitations. As with each tool of data collection, issues of reliability and validity can be raised (Aebi, 2006). The reliability of police data has been underlined in the literature (see Snook, Luther, House, Bennell, & Taylor, 2012), nonetheless some measures have been taken to improve this aspect such as the centralization of the data collection (Chopin, 2017).…”

“…This study is not without its limitations and the use of police data can lead to bias in data interpretation (see, for example, Aebi, 2006; Chopin & Aebi, 2017; Chopin & Aebi, 2018). First, our study is based only on cases known by the police, and they cannot be generalized to crimes not reported.…”
