The series began in 2003, the initial survey representing the first wave in a planned four-year rotating panel study, and ended with the 2006 wave. A longitudinal dataset based on the four years of the study was released in 2009 (held at the Archive under SN 6345). The OCJS was commissioned by the Home Office, with the overall objective of providing a solid base for measuring the prevalence of offending and drug use in the general population of England and Wales. The survey was developed in response to a significant gap in data on offending in the general population, as opposed to particular groups such as convicted offenders. A specific aim of the series was to monitor trends in offending among young people. The OCJS series was designed as a 'rotating panel' which means that in each subsequent year, part of the previous year's sample was re-interviewed, and was augmented by a further 'fresh' sample to ensure a cross-sectional representative sample of young people. The aim of this design was to fulfil two objectives: firstly, to provide a solid cross-sectional base from which to monitor year-on-year measures of offending, drug use, and contact with the CJS over the four-year tracking period (2003-2006); and secondly, to provide longitudinal insight into individual behaviour and attitudinal changes over time, and to enable the Home Office to identify temporal links between and within the key survey measures. The OCJS was managed by a team of researchers in the Home Office Research, Development and Statistics Directorate. The Home Office commissioned BMRB Social Research and the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) to conduct the surveys jointly. Both organisations were involved in developing the surveys and, at each wave, the fieldwork was split between the two agencies. OCJS 2006: The 2006 OCJS sample comprised ‘panel’ respondents, who had been interviewed in one or more previous waves of the survey, and an additional ‘fresh’ sample of 10 to 25 year-olds, who had not been interviewed before. The total sample in 2006 consisted of 4,554 panel respondents followed up from previous waves of the survey and 799 new respondents in the fresh sample, resulting in 5,353 interviews overall. The 2006 OCJS was the last annual wave in the series. The OCJS 2006 aimed to provide, as in previous years:<ul><li>measures of self-reported offending</li><li>indicators of repeat offending</li><li>trends in the prevalence of offending</li><li>trends in the prevalence and frequency of drug and alcohol use</li><li>evidence on the links between offending and drug/alcohol use</li><li>evidence on the risk factors related to offending and drug use</li><li>information on the nature of offences committed, such as the role of co-offenders and the relationship between perpetrators and victims</li></ul>For the second edition (December 2008), the variable PFA (police force area) has been supplied for the main file. This variable was previously unavailable. Main Topics: The basic OCJS questionnaire comprises modules on the following topics:<ul><li>household grid (conducted using Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI))</li><li>socio-demographic characteristics (CAPI)</li><li>neighbourhood (CAPI)</li><li>attitudes to the criminal justice system (CAPI)</li><li>contact with criminal justice system (part 1) (CAPI)</li><li>victimisation (CAPI)</li><li>antisocial behaviour (conducted using Audio Computer Assisted Self-Interviewing (ACASI))</li><li>white collar/'hi-tech' crime (ACASI)</li><li>offending - count/follow-up (ACASI)</li><li>offending - nature (conducted using Computer Assisted Self-Interviewing (CASI))</li><li>contact with criminal justice system (part 2) (CASI)</li><li>domestic violence (CASI)</li><li>drinking (CASI)</li><li>drug use (CASI)</li><li>health, lifestyle and risk factors (CASI)</li><li>reactions to the survey and recontact (CASI)</li></ul>In addition to questionnaire data, the dataset also includes derived socio-economic and geo-demographic variables. The data files included in the OCJS 2006 are as follows: <ul><li>‘OCJS_2006_archive_data_10_to_25s’: main individual respondent-level dataset (aged 10-25) </li><li>‘OCJS_2006_archive_data_all’: main individual respondent-level dataset (aged 10-29)</li><li>‘OCJS_2006_archive_nature_data_10_to_25s': contains data on the circumstances surrounding individual offences (cases represent offences, not respondents) (aged 10-25)</li><li>‘OCJS_2006_archive_nature_data_all’: offence level data (aged 10-29)</li></ul> January 2006 - October 200601 January 200601 October 2006 England and Wales IndividualsNational Persons aged 10-29 years, resident in private households in England and Wales.
