PERSONALITY AND SELF–REPORTED DELINQUENCY An Application of Cluster Analysis

A short-term longitudinal study of impulsivity and antisocial behavior.

“…Braithwaite and Law (1978), Kaplan (1984), Olczak, Parcell, andStott (1983), andStein, Sarbin, andKulik (1968) have criticized the conceptualization of delinquency as one-dimensional and have insisted on the need to identify homogeneous classes of antisocial behavior and to investigate the variables related to each separate class. Although a number of studies suggest that analysis of different dimensions of antisocial behavior may throw light on the relationship between personality and delinquency (Hindelang & Weiss, 1972;Lane, 1987;Luengo, Otero, Carrillo-de-la-Pena, & Miron, in press;McGurk & McDougall, 1981), this suggestion has seldom been heeded in research on impulsivity.…”

The Emergence of Machine Learning Techniques in Criminology

“…However, most of these methods have had successive upgrades in the computer science and related ML literatures (Jain, ). Additionally, unsupervised ML has haltingly entered criminology with papers stretching back several decades (Brennan, ; Brennan and Breitenbach, ; Francis, Soothill, and Fligelstone, ; Harris and Jones, ; Hindelang and Weis, ; Jones and Harris, ; Megargee and Bohn, , Raine et al., ).…”

“…A history of the progressive development of many of these methods is offered by computer scientist Jain (2010), in his article "Data Clustering: 50 Years Beyond K-Means." Hindelang and Weis, 1972;Jones and Harris, 1999;Megargee andBohn, 1979, Raine et al, 2005). Regarding this array of ML methods, we note the rapid software availability and ongoing refinement of both classic and newer ML methods.…”

Drug abuse and the American adolescent

“…However, these latter studies have been thoroughly reviewed by Elliott and Ageton (1976b). They divided the extant literature into "studies of officially defined drug users and delinquents" (Chein 1964;: Weitzner et al 1973Friedman and Friedman 1973a) and "studies involving normal youth populations" (Robins and Murphy 1967;Jacoby et al 1073;Friedman and Friedman 1973b;Goode 1973;Johnston 1973;O'Donnell et al 1976;Jessor 1976;Gold and Reimer 1974;Elliott and Ageton 1976a;Hindelang and Weiss 1972).…”
