Offending, Crime and Justice Survey Four-Year Panel ( OCJS)
The OJCS, which aimed to estimate the prevalence of offending and drug use, was the first national longitudinal self-report crime and offending survey in England and Wales. Beginning in 2003, the study recruited participants aged 10 to 65 years living in private households in England and Wales. At baseline, over 6,800 individuals were included in the study. Only participants aged 10 to 25 years in the baseline sweep were followed up in 2004, 2005 and 2006..
