Predicting juvenile recidivism: new method, old problems.
This prediction study compared three statistical procedures for accuracy using two assessment methods. The criterion is return to a juvenile prison after the first release, and the models tested are logit analysis, predictive attribute analysis, and a Burgess procedure. No significant differences are found between statistics in prediction.

Comparison of rates of recidivism among status offenders and delinquents.
This study is concerned with how many status offenders and delinquents returned to a state training school in Wisconsin after their first release. The sample is derived from 1965 and 1967 correctional files, and subjects were followed for ten years in Wisconsin to see if they also had a conviction for a felony as an adult. Policy implications of the study are discussed.
