National Longitudinal Survey of Youth

Abstract

Abstract Criminology and criminal justice researchers employ data from numerous sources when conducting studies in the field of juvenile justice; however, two associated surveys of American youth have proven especially useful: the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97). The self‐report measures of deviant and delinquent behavior contained in both the NLSY79 and NLSY97 enable researchers to address some of the most fundamental questions in juvenile justice research and to explore topics as diverse as parental incarceration, peer relations, bullying, adolescent substance abuse, and youth employment.
