abstract="OBJECTIVES: To describe how social scientists, criminal justice practitioners, and administrative agencies collected administrative data to follow-up a criminological experiment after two decades. To make recommendations that will guide similar long-term follow-ups. <br><br>METHODS: A case study approach describes the processes of and sociological benefits to collecting administrative data to assess criminal justice and life-course outcomes. <br><br>RESULTS: While maintaining experimental integrity, we developed, executed, and verified processes to retrieve arrest, mortality, and residential data for the experimental subjects, which enabled us to complete the longest ever follow-up of a criminal justice experiment. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: When experiments have policy implications, administrative data may be preferable to survey data for assessing primary effects. Successful social science research can be conducted in conjunction with multiple administrative agencies.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
