MEMORANDUM
Date: - March 16, 1981
Vv
TO: Professor Tony Amsterdam, Joel Berger, Esqg., John Boger, Esq. Tim Ford, Esq.
Sam Gross, Esq., Professor Charles Pulaski and Professor George Woodworth
FROM: David Baldus
SUBJECT: Data Collection Instruments for Georgia —-- Summer 1981.
Enclosed are drafts of the data collection instruments that we plan to use
this sumer in Georgia.
Item #1. Parole Board Questionnaire —— March 1981. This is a revised Parole
Board Questionnaire, The new questions reflect the fact that we have a larger
universe of cases i.e., manslaughter as well as murder. It also incorporates a
scale which indicates how confident are of the answer to each question. You will
see that the format of this confidence scaling procedure varies from question to
question reflecting the fact that the data available on each variable differ sub-
stantially. Ed Gates is drafting a detailed set of instructions which will be used
by the coders in applying this questionnaire.
Item #2. Data from Department of Corrections tape. This listing of variables
from the Department of Corrections tape indicates the information that we can obtain
from the Department of Corrections and add to our Parole Board Questionnaire. The
items that we propose to include in the tape have been checked.
Item #3. Strength of the Evidence Questionnaire. This questionnaire is a
aynthesis of the questionnaire produced by Sam Gross last winter and by Ed Ratledge
of the University of Delaware who is doing the most elaborate work on strength of
the evidence that I have been able to find. Ed and I picked and chose the variables
to include in the strength of the evidence questionnaire on the basis of our judgment
and on the basis of Ed's knowledge of which information we were likely to find in
the Parole Board files. Those files are constructed in such a way that it is impossible
to identify the names of precise witnesses. It is not unusual, however, for the
Memorandum
March 16, 1981
Page 2
police reports to indicate the number of witnesses and whether they are police
officers or civilians. To help you evaluate the proposed strength of the evidence
questionnaire, we have enclosed a copy of Sam Gross' original questionnaire and
the questionnaire used by Ed Ratledge in his work. The items on Sam's and Ed's
questionnaires that were omitted in our proposed questionnaire are marked with a
bracket.
We have also included a copy of the Parole Board Questionnaire that we used
this fall on our LEAA project (October 1980).
As we see it, the primary questions which vou should consider are whether we
have omitted important questions and whether the questionnaires call for unnecessary
information. I am troubled that the questionnaire is now quite a bit longer than
what we used last fall and this may slow us down. Also, what do you think of the
system used to indicate our confidence in the answers given? We are particularly
interested in the procedural questions that will be important when we try to focus
on particular decisions.
We would very much appreciate your giving us as fast a turn around as is possible
on your reactions to these instruments. The reason for our urgency is that Ed Gates
will begin coding data that we already have in our files into these new questionnaires
as soon as they are final. He has now time available to do that. Thus, we wend like
to complete the questionnaires as soon as possible. Your comments in any form would
be welcome —— by comments on the questionnaire, a letter or call (319) 353-4157. |
Our letters soliciting research help for the summer in Georgia went out last
week. Thus far, we have received four or five inquiries from good people.
Our letter to the Parole Board requesting access to their files also wentiout
last week and we should probably hear from them within a month.
