Abstract: Research goals and objectives. The purpose of this study was to add official arrest records, other public agency data, and questionnaires to a data set including periodic psychiatric assessments, that has been accumulated over a 25 year period on a random sample of 800 young Americans. These data were to be used to enhance knowledge regarding the origins of criminal and other aggressive behavior such as partner violence, including intergenerational effects. Participants in this study were an average of 30 years old, equally male and female, and 92% white, representing the geographic area from which they were sampled.
