Definition

  • Self-report surveys are data-gathering procedures that involve asking subjects to recall or admit to various types of behavior. As an attempt to overcome some of the shortcomings of reliance on official statistics, researchers have developed studies in which the respondents are asked to admit to various delinquent or criminal acts.
