Primary Outcomes (End Points)
|
Before
• Criminal activity [Time Frame: Program start through end of program (5 moths)]
The number of each of four subtypes of arrests (violent, property, drug, and other) will be measured using individual-level administrative data on juvenile and adult arrests from the Chicago Policy Department.
• Criminal activity [Time Frame: 7 months post-program]
The number of each of four subtypes of arrests (violent, property, drug, and other) will be measured using individual-level administrative data on juvenile and adult arrests from the Chicago Policy Department.
• Criminal activity [Time Frame: 1 year post-program]
The number of each of four subtypes of arrests (violent, property, drug, and other) will be measured using individual-level administrative data on juvenile and adult arrests from the Chicago Policy Department.
• Criminal activity [Time Frame: 2 years post-program]
The number of each of four subtypes of arrests (violent, property, drug, and other) will be measured using individual-level administrative data on juvenile and adult arrests from the Chicago Policy Department.
• School engagement [Time Frame: Program start through end of program (5 moths)]
Schooling outcomes will be measured using student-level administrative data from the Chicago Public Schools. Engagement will be assessed using data on attendance, CPS on-track indicator, grades, course-taking, disciplinary incidents, test scores, graduation, school switching, and enrollment in schools within juvenile justice facilities.
• School engagement [Time Frame: 7 months post-program]
Schooling outcomes will be measured using student-level administrative data from the Chicago Public Schools. Engagement will be assessed using data on attendance, CPS on-track indicator, grades, course-taking, disciplinary incidents, test scores, graduation, school switching, and enrollment in schools within juvenile justice facilities.
• School engagement [Time Frame: 1 year post-program]
Schooling outcomes will be measured using student-level administrative data from the Chicago Public Schools. Engagement will be assessed using data on attendance, CPS on-track indicator, grades, course-taking, disciplinary incidents, test scores, graduation, school switching, and enrollment in schools within juvenile justice facilities.
• School engagement [Time Frame: 2 years months post-program]
Schooling outcomes will be measured using student-level administrative data from the Chicago Public Schools. Engagement will be assessed using data on attendance, CPS on-track indicator, grades, course-taking, disciplinary incidents, test scores, graduation, school switching, and enrollment in schools within juvenile justice facilities.
• Employment [Time Frame: Program start through end of program (5 moths)]
Employment and wages will be measured using individual-level quarterly earnings records from Unemployment Insurance, provided by the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
• Employment [Time Frame: 7 months post-program]
Employment and wages will be measured using individual-level quarterly earnings records from Unemployment Insurance, provided by the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
• Employment [Time Frame: 1 year post-program]
Employment and wages will be measured using individual-level quarterly earnings records from Unemployment Insurance, provided by the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
• Employment [Time Frame: 2 years post-program]
Employment and wages will be measured using individual-level quarterly earnings records from Unemployment Insurance, provided by the Illinois Department of Employment Security.

After
• Criminal activity [Time Frame: 6 month intervals post randomization to at least 2 years post]
The number of arrests will be measured using individual-level administrative data on juvenile and adult arrests from the Chicago Police Department.
• School engagement [Time Frame: 6 month intervals post randomization to at least 2 years post]
Schooling outcomes will be measured using student-level administrative data from the Chicago Public Schools. Engagement will be assessed using data on attendance, CPS on-track indicator, grades, course-taking, disciplinary incidents, test scores, graduation, school switching, and enrollment in schools within juvenile justice facilities.
However, we need to wait until a youth becomes eligible for graduation as some youth start the program as young as 13. Therefore if we need to follow youth for longer than 2 years post randomization to observe graduation or other school engagement variables, we would do so.
• Employment [Time Frame: 6 month intervals post randomization to at least 2 years post]
Employment and wages will be measured using individual-level quarterly earnings records from Unemployment Insurance, provided by the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
However, we need to wait until a youth becomes eligible for employment as some youth start the program as young as 13. Therefore if we need to follow youth for longer than 2 years post randomization to observe possible employment, we would do so.
The interval time periods will be used to determine when most of the change is happening for all outcomes.

Secondary Outcomes (End Points)

Before
|
After
We plan to investigate total arrests as well as arrests broken down by certain categories such as violent, property, drug, or "other". This other category might be further categorized if it makes up a majority of arrests. We will use techniques such as factor analysis to further sub-divide categories.
if available, we will obtain data from the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) to explore how the program impacted public benefit enrollment (such as SNAP, medicaid, etc).
If possible, we will work with the Department of Family and Support Services (DFSS) to explore the impact of the program on enrollment in summer employment programs in Chicago.
Lastly, if given permission, we will explore the long-run impact of this program (5-10 years post). This would involve looking at some of our primary outcomes for a longer time horizon (adult employment, adult arrest outcomes) and exploring new outcomes such as enrollment in college through the National Student Clearinghouse.
