Abstract
The feasibility of the records matching approach is examined with data pertaining to the interrelations of residential mobility, educational status, and juvenile delinquency. Findings are reported by race and sex for comparisons of approximately 7,000 delinquent and 325,000 general population youth 14-17 years of age. Recent mobility was not systematically associated with delinquency; educational status was directly related to delinquency; and little interaction was observed between the mobility variables or between mobility and educational status.Keywords
