The Development and Impact of Self-Report Measures of Crime and Delinquency (2010, result): “Recent studies by Brame et al. (2004), Kirk (2006) , and Maxfield et al. (2000) suggest that differential reporting across demographic groups is more complex than earlier studies have indicated.”
Comparing Self-Report to Official Measures of Inmate Misconduct (2014, methodology): “Still, both self-report data and arrest data have generally been acknowledged to be valid indicators of criminal behavior (Hindelang et al., 1981; Kirk, 2006; Thornberry & Krohn, 2002).”
Conduct Disorder, Aggression and Delinquency (2009, background): “In both official records and self-reports, the age-crime curve--obtained cross-sectionally usually increases to a peak in the late teenage years and then decreases (Kirk, 2006).”
Procedural justice versus risk factors for offending: predicting recidivism in youth.

Comparing Official and Self-report Records of Offending across Gender and Race/Ethnicity in a Longitudinal Study of Serious Youthful Offenders (2014, methodology): “…were reached by Huizinga and Elliott (1986) who found that 50 percent of Piquero et al. 537 arrests occurred outside home jurisdictions and by Kirk (2006) who found that a nontrivial number of subjects self-reported arrests outside of Illinois.3 Finally, we investigate the concordance issue…”
Broadband Internet: An Information Superhighway to Sex Crime? (2013, background): “Self-reports of criminal activity should be interpreted cautiously since they are often impossible to validate and since there are incentives to misreport (MacDonald, 2002; Kirk, 2006).”
