Extending the General Theory of Crime to “The East:” Low Self-Control in Japanese Late Adolescents (2004, background): “Osgood et al. (2002) have recently provided additional evidence that logarithmic transformations or computing the square root values of positively skewed dependent variables, such as indicators of deviance, are quite adequate to address non-normality.”
Is the Magic Still There? The Use of the Heckman Two-Step Correction for Selection Bias in Criminology (2007, background): “Y 1 ¼ Y 1 * if Y 1 * [9 3 ¼ 9 otherwise Tobit regression has been increasingly applied in the feld of sentencing research (Albonetti 1997; Bushway and Piehl 2001; Kurlychek and Johnson 2004; Rhodes 1991), as well as in criminology more broadly (see Osgood et al. 2002).”
Reconsidering Peers and Delinquency: How do Peers Matter? (2005, methodology): “Following Osgood et al. (2002a), we analyze our data using the tobit regression model, which is designed for such a truncated normal distribution (Long 1997).”
Impulsivity, Offending, and the Neighborhood: Investigating the Person–Context Nexus (2012, background): “This approach also limits the contribution of minor offenses to the analysis, often overemphasized in typical summative scales, and focuses attention on the most important interval in offending behavior of zero versus one (see Osgood et al. 2002 for a more in-depth discussion of this issue).”
A Note on the Item Information Function of the Four-Parameter Logistic Model (2013, methodology): “Osgood, McMorris, and Potenza (2002) made use of a 2PL model to analyze a self-report delinquency scale and noticed that the use of a 4PL model (or any other model with an upper asymptote parameter), might permit to catch the propensity of most delinquent youth not to report some delinquent acts…”
6. A Multivariate, Multilevel Rasch Model with Application to Self-Reported Criminal Behavior (2003, background): “In a sequel to their paper, Osgood, Finken, and McMorris (2002) demonstrate the useful properties of IRT-based analyses based on a Tobit regression model.”
