The codebook contains information on data content, structure and data collection, and includes a list of publications wholly or in part based on the data, according to publication information received by the FSD. The second part of the codebook contains information on variables: question texts, response options, and frequencies. The third part contains indexes. Variable distributions presented in this codebook have been generated from the SPSS files. Distribution tables present variable values, frequencies (n), frequency percentages (%), and valid percentages (v. %) which take into account missing data. All distributions are unweighted. If the data contain weight variables, these will be found at the end of the variables list. In some cases frequency distributions have been substituted by descriptive statistics. Categorised responses to open-ended questions are not always included in the codebook. Distributions may contain missing data. The note "System missing (SYSMIS)" refers to missing observations (e.g. a respondent has not answered all questions) whereas "Missing (User missing)" refers to data the user has defined as missing. For example, the user may decide to code answer alternatives don t want to say or can t say as missing data. The codebook may contain attached files, the most common one being the questionnaire.

In these surveys, information has been gathered with the self-report method: the participants, 9th grade students from different parts of Finland, have answered anonymously to questions about their own criminal or forbidden activities. The survey series is also known under the name of the Finnish Self-Report Delinquency Study (FSRD). Abstract The survey studied the extent, frequency and nature of self-reported offending among young people in Finland as well as their attitudes towards crime and experiences of being victims. The 2012 survey, which is the seventh of its kind, differs from the surveys of previous years in that it was expanded to include sixth-graders (pupils aged 12-13) in addition to ninth-graders (pupils aged 15-16). s covered truancy, vandalising school property or other property, theft, shoplifting, motor vehicle theft, burglary, online piracy, bullying, taking part in a fight, assault, robbery, possession of a weapon, alcohol use, and use of other intoxicating substances. If the respondents admitted to having done any of the acts mentioned, they were asked whether they had done it in the previous 12 months and how many times. Relating to some of the offences, the respondents were also presented with specifying questions about the last time they had committed the act, for example, whether they had acted alone, whether they had been drunk at the time, whether the act had been revenge for some previous incident, what they had stolen, and whether the motive for a violent act had been discriminatory. Ninth-graders were also asked whether the police had found out about the offences committed. The respondents were also asked whether they had been a victim of vandalism, violent robbery, theft, bullying, threats of violence, assault, discriminatory harassment or violence, parental corporal punishment, or cyberbullying and cyberthreats. If the respondents had been a victim of 2
1.3. Structure and collection of the data any of the acts, they were asked whether they had experienced it in the previous 12 months and how many times. Relating to some of the experiences, the respondents were also presented with specifying questions about the last time they had been a victim of the crime, for instance, whether the perpetrator had been male or female, how old the perpetrator had been, what his/her ethnicity had been, whether the respondent had sustained injuries, and what had been stolen. Relating to experiences of violence, the respondents were further presented with a list of people (e.g. friend, mother, father, unknown adult, teacher, coach/instructor) and asked whether any of them had physically assaulted them (hit, kicked, or used a weapon). Family and circumstances at home were surveyed with questions about the extent to which parents supported and were interested in the respondent s life. Relating to leisure time, questions probed how often the respondents were away from home in the evenings, visited parties, spent long periods of time online, watched violent films etc. s on neighbourhood and school investigated the prevalence of graffitis, vandalism and alcohol/drug abuse in the neighbourhood, and the prevalence of vandalism and disruptive behaviour at school. The respondents were also asked whether their friends had used cannabis, shoplifted or been in a fight in a public place. A number of items from the Big Five Inventory (John et al.) were presented and the respondents were requested to indicate to what extent they thought the characteristics applied to them (e.g. "I am talkative", "I tend to be lazy"). Additionally, the respondents were asked to what extent they agreed with statements relating to their propensity to take risks, tendency to think ahead and to be considerate of others (e.g. "Sometimes I take a risk just for the fun of it", "If people get upset over something I do, that s their problem, not mine"). Finally, the respondents were asked the future probability of them shoplifting or being in a fight, insecurity experienced in certain places, acceptability of certain acts for young people (e.g. lying, online piracy, shoplifting), and to what extent they agreed with statements relating to breaking the law (e.g. "It is acceptable to take revenge on a person who hurts/insults a friend of mine"). Respondents on the ninth grade were asked additional questions. s charted sleep problems as well as whether the respondents felt certain descriptions (found in the Antisocial Process Screening Device Self-Report, Frick et al.) applied to them (e.g. "I blame others for my mistakes", "I keep same friends"). The background variables included, among others, the respondent s sex, age, country of birth, school performance (maths, Finnish, English), and household composition as well as years lived in the municipality of residence, attendance in remedial education during the school year, language spoken at home, parents economic activity and countries of birth, perceived financial circumstances of family, and whether R had ever had to repeat a grade. Ninth-graders were also asked their dating status and plans after basic education. 1.3 Structure and collection of the data Country: Finland Geographic coverage: Finland Analysis or observation unit type: Individual Universe: Pupils in the 6th and 9th grades of basic education in Finland 3
1. Study description Collection date: February 2012 May 2012 Data collector(s): National Research Institute of Legal Policy (Optula) Data producer(s): National Research Institute of Legal Policy (Optula) Mode of data collection: Internet survey Type of research instrument: Structured questionnaire Time period covered: 2012 Time method of the data collection: Longitudinal: Trend/Repeated cross-section Response rate: 82.9% Number of variables and cases: The data contain 357 variables and 8914 cases. Sampling procedure: Probability sampling: Combination of probability sampling methods. In the creation of the sample, the sampling unit was school. Sufficient representativeness of different municipality types was ensured during sampling. School size was also taken into consideration. Sampling was carried out by Statistics Finland. A total of 8,914 pupils on sixth and ninth grades of basic education responded to the survey (persons aged 12-13 and 15-16). There is a total of 4,059 responses from sixth-grade pupils in 102 elementary schools and 4,855 responses from ninth-grade pupils in 51 secondary/middle schools. The data were collected as an online survey, to which the pupils responded during a school day. Contact teachers, who had been instructed in collecting survey data, assisted in data collection at schools. 1.4 Use of data Data appraisal Variables q11_5_2 (Other language or languages, which?) and q36_2 (Do you have any longterm illness or a disability or health problem which affects your functional ability? Yes, which?) have been removed from the data during archiving. Related publications Backman, Heidi (2013). Nuorten uniongelmien yhteydet psykopatiapiirteisiin ja nuorisorikollisuuteen.
