Abstract
This chapter will focus on offense rates, as these are estimated from charged crimes in official records. Again, the interest will be primarily in differences in these rates by race and age. The data presented in the last chapter showed that participation in various crimes and combinations of crimes differed for ethnic groups in the sample and that participation declined with age for these offenders. In the present analyses, differences were also found in rates at which ethnic groups were arrested (number of arrests per year of time at risk—“street time”) and in the rates at which these offenders were arrested at various ages.
