| The proposed research capitalizes on 20 years of research from the National Youth Survey Family Study (NYSFS), which has followed a nationally representative sample of adolescents into adulthood, resulting in longitudinal measures of Intimate Partner Violence, involvement in the justice system, and use of community services. Additionally, recent data collections of these same measures have taken place with the original respondents, parents, and adult children. Subjects will be identified as perpetrators and victims based upon their responses to the Conflict Tactics Scale and long-used NYSFS self-report measures, which will allow subsequent analyses to be based upon perpetrators and victims who have not necessarily encountered the justice system and who represent a variety of sociodemographic subpopulations. Self-reported measures of contact with the justice system are augmented in the NYSFS with official records of arrest from previous data collections and a proposed new data collection that would add 15 years of official records to the dataset. | |
