Malcolm W. Klein Center for Research on Crime and Social Control
University of Southern California 1. BACKGROUND In June of 1988,
approximately forty scholars and researchers met for four days in
the Leeuwenborst Congres Center in Noordwijkerhout, The
Netherlands, to participate in a workshop entitled Self-Report
Metho dology in Criminological Research. The participants
represented 15 nations and 30 universities and research centers, a
diversity that was matched by the experiences and focal interests
in self-report methods among the participants. This volume is the
result of the workshop process and in particular of the invitations
to participants to prepare pre-conference papers for distribution
prior to the workshop. The chapters in the volume were selected
from the larger set of pre conference papers. As workshop conv ner
and volume editor, it falls on me to set some of the context for
this enterprise. Self-report crime is "admitted" crime, derived
from interview and questionnaire responses obtained from adults and
juveniles (regardless of whether or not they have been arrested)
concerning their own illegal behaviors. Growing awareness of the
limitations of official crime statistics has led to the development
of self-report procedures."
