rearrest: Data on time until re-incarceration for 194 inmates.
In parmsurvfit: Parametric Models for Survival Data

Description Usage Format Source

Henning and Frueh (1996) followed criminal activities of 194 inmates released from a medium security prison for 36 months. The data from this study can be used to investigate the time until the former inmates were re-arrested. If the former inmate had been re-arrested for a criminal act before 36 months (after initial prison release) had passed, then that former inmate<e2><80><99>s event time was complete. If the former inmate had not been re-arrested for a criminal act after 36 months had passed, or had completely dropped out of the study, then that former inmate<e2><80><99>s event time was right censored.
