C0_SROSC03: C0 SRO: Subject ever broke into a building to steal
Has the subject ever entered or broken into a building (home or business) to steal
something?
MEASURE: Self-Reported Offending (SRO)
The Self-Reported Offending (SRO; Huizinga, Esbensen, and Weihar, 1991) was adapted
for this study to measure the adolescent's account of involvement in antisocial
and illegal activities. We ask the collateral to report on the subject's behavior
using the same set of questions which are asked of the subject. The SRO consists of
24-items which elicit subject involvement in different types of crime. For each
endorsed item, a set of follow-up questions are triggered that collect more
information regarding the reported offense (e.g., "How old was he/she the first
time he/she did this?" "How many times has X done this in the past year?"). Two of
the 24 items were added to the interview battery after a significant number of
individuals had completed the interview (thus producing a large amount of missing
data). These 2 items are not included in the scoring.
