Description
Summary:Administrative register data offer an opportunity to increase the range and nature of experimental evaluations. In addition to providing a range of offending and non-crime outcome data, the uniformity, longevity, and scope of registers support a broader conceptualization of policy assessments. Although found in several countries, the Scandinavian registers provide a unique opportunity to conduct innovative and impactful randomized studies. Here, and with a focus on Norway, these prospects are explored in detail.
