The author's prior research in the 1950's in Madison, Wis., and in the 1960's in Racine, Wis., indicated that the links among the problems of measurement, classification, and prediction required their simultaneous consideration. The analysis used both official records and self-report data, with emphasis on official data. It focused on the individual's offenses, dispositions, and sanctions. The 51 cases chosen for the initial analysis were individuals from the 1955 cohort who had serious and/or frequent contacts with the police. Discussions of methodological issues to be resolved, preliminary results, data tables, and 63 references, as well as appended analysis of the development of career typologies based on offense level, cohort, and justice system involvement.
