This study examined the criterion validity of self - report measures of involvement in the criminal justice system and delinquent behaviour in a cohort of african american male adolescents. Audiocassette - recorded questionnaires and audio computer assisted self - interviewing (ACASI) methods were used to collect four rounds of self - report data. Juvenile and adult court records were used as criterion measures. Concurrent validity analyses indicated that adolescents who reported contact with the criminal justice system were 5 to 15 times as likely to have a court record as adolescents who did not report contact with the criminal justice system. predictive validity analysis indicated that adolescents who reported prior contact with the criminal justice system or delinquent behaviour were about twice as likely to have future court records as adolescents who did not report prior contact with the criminal justice system or delinquent behavour. These findings suggest that audiocassetter or ACASI interviewing methods used with african american male adolescents can yields self - report measures with a fairly high degree of criterion validity.
