Crime and its Consequences: Studies Using Nordic Register Data
Thu, Nov 16, 8:00 to 9:20am, Marriott, Franklin 13, 4th FloorSession Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel
Abstract
The Nordic registers are world-renowned for the vast amount of data they contain on the entire population. The registers provide insight into individuals from birth to death, capturing information about their family, education, employment, use of social welfare programs, and health. The presentations on this panel showcase how Nordic registers can be used to predict youth offending (Skardhamar et al.), the consequences of early-life offending (Aaltonen & Weerman), and look at transitions out of typical offending (Sarnecki).
