Survey of youth documents delinquent and other deviant behaviors. Amid concern about juvenile violence, particularly the availability of guns, it is important to develop an accurate picture of the delinquent and other deviant behaviors of the Nation's youth. Findings from self-report surveys, such as the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97), include information about behavior that often does not come to the attention of juvenile justice agencies. As such, NLSY97 data can provide policymakers with unique insights into delinquency and other deviant behaviors by youth in America. The first wave of NLSY97 interviewed a nationally representative sample of nearly 9,000 youth who were between the ages of 12 and 16 at the end of 1996. The interviews were conducted in 1997 and early 1998. The survey asked youth to report whether they had engaged in a variety of delinquent or other behaviors that may lead to future delinquency. These youth will be interviewed annually to track changes in delinquent and other deviant behaviors. This Fact Sheet presents estimates of these self-reported behaviors by the youngest age group-youth who were age 12 at the end of 1996. |
