Taking Stock of the Relationship Between Gang Membership and Offending (2016, background): “…suggesting that findings may vary according to the use of self-report versus official records of offending (e.g., kirk, 2006; Maxfield, Weiler, & Widom, 2000; Thornberry & krohn, 2000), we coded for whether offending was derived through official records (1 = official report, 0 = self-report).”
Assessing the Impact of Sex Offender Registration and Community Notification On Sex-Offending Trajectories (2010, background): “Yet these alternative data sources also suffer from their limitations as well (see Hindelang, Hirschi, & Weis, 1981; Thornberry & Krohn, 2003).”
Comparing Official and Self-report Records of Offending across Gender and Race/Ethnicity in a Longitudinal Study of Serious Youthful Offenders (2014, result): “Overall, the issue of differential validity in self-reports remains mixed and supports the conclusion that this issue remains a high priority for research (Thornberry and Krohn 2000:58).”
Youth Justice? (2007, background): “Following a comprehensive review, Thornberry and Krohn (2000) conclude that ‘self-reported measures of delinquency are as reliable as, if not more reliable than, most social science measures’.”
Assessing the Validity of Self-Reports by Gang Members: Results From the Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring Program (2006, methodology): “These and other Webb et al. / GANG MEMBER SELF-REPORTS 233 reviewers (Del Boca & Noll, 2000; Thornberry & Krohn, 2000) have also focused on strategies for improving the psychometric properties of the method, especially validity.”
Predictors of Antisocial and Prosocial Behavior in an Adolescent Sports Context (2011, background): “Self-report instruments assessing antisocial and prosocial behavior, though, have been shown to produce valid and reliable data on antisocial (Junger-Tas & Haen Marshall, 1999; Thornberry & Krohn, 2000) and prosocial behavior (Carlo & Randall, 2002).”
Is It Who You Know, or How Many That Counts? Criminal Networks and Cost Avoidance in a Sample of Young Offenders (2010, background): “…statistics, youths who have officially been involved with the system self-report their delinquency at a substantial rate (Huizinga & Elliott, 1986; Thornberry & Krohn, 2000).11 Third, our data do not indicate specifically whether a respondent was mentored or not, or whether respondents can…”
Investigating the Continuity of Sex Offending: Evidence from the Second Philadelphia Birth Cohort (2009, unknown): “We recognize that there are strengths and weaknesses from using either official (police contact, arrest, conviction) or self-report data to measure criminal behavior (Hindelang, Hirschi, & Weis, 1981; Thornberry & Krohn, 2003).”
Is stalking a learned phenomenon? An empirical test of social learning theory (2011, background): “Furthermore, prior research indicates that self-reports of personal information (i.e., delinquency) are “acceptably valid and reliable” (Thornberry & Krohn, 2000, p. 3).”
Non-Production Benefits of Education: Crime, Health, and Good Citizenship (2011, background): “See the classic Hindelang, Hirschi, and Weis (1981) for comprehensive treatment of the issue or Thornberry and Krohn (2000) for a more recent survey of this literature.”
Procedural justice and compliance behaviour: the mediating role of emotions (2008, background): “However, participants were made aware their responses would be kept confidential, and a strong tradition of research in psychology and criminology supports the validity of using self-report data in such circumstances (Maxfield & Babbie, 2008; Thornberry & Krohn, 2000).”
