Panel data were analyzed to determine whether funding for collaborative juvenile crime prevention programs reduced arrests in California counties. Because the data were a population (i.e., all 58 counties in the state), regression results were summarized descriptively, and special attention was given to the direction and magnitude of key coefficients. Funding was associated with little to no overall reductions in arrests for felonies, misdemeanors, and status offenses. However, estimates of arrests prevented varied across each of the 14 counties that received funding.
分析面板数据以确定用于协作性青少年犯罪预防项目的资金是否减少了加利福尼亚州各县的逮捕人数。由于这些数据是总体数据(即该州所有58个县的数据),回归结果采用描述性总结,并且特别关注关键系数的方向和大小。资金与重罪、轻罪和身份犯罪的逮捕人数总体减少很少或没有关联。然而,在获得资金的14个县中,每个县预防逮捕人数的估计各不相同。
