10 Criminology 268 (1972-1973)
Personality and Self-Reported Delinquency - An Application of Cluster Analysis

handle is hein.journals/crim10 and id is 270 raw text is: PERSONALITY AND SELF-REPORTED DELINQUENCY An Application of Cluster Analysis Michael J. Hindelang Joseph G. Weis the availability of computers for research purposes in the social sciences facilitates the analysis of new problems of a kind and magnitude which were formerly difficult, if not impossible, to research and makes possible more precise and rigorous investigations of old problems. The present paper will attempt to expose the reader to a computer application of cluster analysis to a criminological problem. This will be done by tracing the steps taken by the authors in their solution of a substantive problem in their research into the etiology of juvenile delinquency; specifically, the testing of a theory of delinquency by using multivariate statistical pro- cedures. AUTHORS' NOTE: Computer time necessary for this research was provided through the Computer Center, University of California, Berkeley, California. MICHAEL HINDELANG received his doctorate in Criminology in 1969 from the University of California and is currently Assistant Professor of Criminal Justice at the State University of New York at Albany. JOSEPH WEIS received his master's degree in Criminology in 1969 from the University of California, where he is presently a Ph.D. candidate.
