“…The Delinquency in a Birth Cohort II Study (Figlio et al, 1991) collected data for the purpose of examining delinquent and criminal activities of a birth cohort. Inclusion in the Study is based on the criteria of being born in 1958 and living in Philadelphia between one's 10th and 18th birthdays.…”

“…Figlio et al (1991) employed a stratified sampling scheme to ensure that they captured the most relevant background and juvenile arrest characteristics of the cohort, and yield a sample size sufficient for analysis. The male population was stratified by race, socioeconomic status, arrest history (0, 1, 2-4, 5 or more arrests), and juvenile 'status' arrests, which are arrest categories only applicable to individuals less than 18 years of age.…”

The determinants of juvenile delinquency for males and females using the Delinquency in a Birth Cohort II Study are investigated. Ordered probit models for juvenile arrest are estimated separately for males and females. The results indicate that juvenile arrests for both males and females are more likely for non-whites and for those who leave education early. Males and females behave differently, in that males are more likely to be repeat offenders.

Using maximum likelihood techniques and monthly panel data we solve and estimate an explicitly dynamic model of criminal behavior where current criminal activity impacts future labor market outcomes. We show that the threat of future adverse effects in the labor market when arrested acts as a strong deterrent to crime. Moreover, such forward-looking behavior is estimated to be important. Hence, policies that weaken this deterrence will be much less effective in fighting crime. This suggests that prevention is more powerful than redemption since anticipated redemption allows criminals to look forward to negating the consequences of their crimes.

“…We use individual level data from the Delinquency in a Birth Cohort II Study (Figlio et al, 1990) to estimate our dynamic model of crime. The cohort is composed of subjects who were born in Philadelphia in 1958 and who resided in that city at least from their 10th until their 18th birthday.…”
