1,216 male first-time offenders are enrolled in the Crossroads study. More details about our sampling procedure are available here.
Six-month interviews are conducted to track developmental changes in outcome variables. More details about our data collection procedure are available here.
Available data include:
- Baseline interviews, which took place less than 6 weeks after the youth’s disposition
- Follow-up interviews, which were completed every 6 months over the course of 3 years
- Official records
The Crossroads Study has also inspired several ancillary studies, which would not have been possible otherwise.
