The relationship between crime control policies and fundamental parameters of the criminal career, such as career length, participation in offenses, and frequency and seriousness of offenses committed, is examined in this data collection. The investigators coded, recoded, and computerized parts of the raw data from Sheldon and Eleanor Glueck's three-wave, matched sample study of juvenile and adult criminal behavior, extracting the criminal histories of the 500 delinquents (officially defined) from the Glueck study. Data were originally collected by the Gluecks in 1940 through psychiatric interviews with subjects, parent and teacher reports, and official records obtained from police, court, and correctional files. The subjects were subsequently interviewed again between 1949 and 1965 at or near the age of 25, and again at or near the age of 32. The data coded by Laub and Sampson include only information collected from official records. The data address in part (1) what effects probation, incarceration, and parole have on the length of criminal career and frequency of criminal incidents of an offender, (2) how the effects of criminal control policies vary in relation to the length of sentence, type of offense, and age of the offender, (3) which factors in criminal control policy correlate with criminal career termination, (4) how well age of first offense predicts the length of criminal career, and (5) how age of offender relates to type of offense committed. Every incident of arrest up to the age of 32 for each respondent (ranging from 1 to 51 arrests) is recorded in the data file. Variables include the dates of arrest, up to three charges associated with the arrest, court disposition, and starting and ending dates of probation, incarceration, and parole associated with the arrest.

Seagrass beds are critical wetlands components of shallow marine ecosystems along the Massachusetts coastline. Seagrass beds provide food and cover for a great variety of commercially and recreationally important fauna and their prey. The leaf canopy of the seagrass bed calms the water, filters suspended matter and together with extensive roots and rhizomes, stabilizes sediment. Seagrasses are often referred to as "Submerged Aquatic Vegetation" or SAV. This distinguishes them from algae, which are not classified as plants by biologists (rather they are often placed in the kingdom protista), and distinguishes them from the "emergent" saltwater plants found in salt marshes.

In Massachusetts, the dominant SAV is Zostera marina or eelgrass. The other species found in the embayments of the Massachusetts coast is Ruppia maritima, commonly called “widgeon grass,” which is present in areas of less salinity along Cape Cod and Buzzards Bay. Widgeon grass, found in the upper reaches of embayments, has a thread-like morphology that makes it difficult to identify using remotely sensed data. It can only be identified and located by on-site survey.

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) began a program to map the state's SAV resources in the early 1990s and since 1995 the MassDEP Eelgrass Mapping Project has produced multiple surveys of SAV along the Massachusetts coastline, as listed here:

The following describes standards for assigning Important Farmland Classes to soil survey map units of Massachusetts soil survey areas.

Criteria for the designation “Prime Farmland” per Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)

The prime farmland class is assigned to soil map units, the major component/s relative value data[1] for which, meet prime farmland criteria per 7CFR657.5 as edited to exclude soil properties and climate not relevant to Massachusetts, and to quantify adequate available water holding capacity as follows:

available water capacity of 3.5 in (8.9 cm) or more[2] within a depth of 40 in (1 m) or the depth to an impermeable layer if less than 40 in (1 m) and,pH between 4.5 and 8.4 in all horizons within a depth of 40 in (1 m) and,water table, if present, not shallower than 15 in (38 cm) during May through October and,infrequent (less often than once in 2 years) or no flooding during May through October and,the product of Kw (erodibility factor, whole soil) of the mineral soil surface and percent slope is less than 2.0[3]; and,permeability rate of at least 0.06 in (0.15 cm) per hour in the upper 20 in (50 cm); and,upper 6 in (15 cm) of the soil surface contains less than 10 percent rock fragments by volume coarser than 3 in (7.6 cm) diameter; and,not more than 0.1 percent of the soil surface is covered by stones 10 in (25cm) to 24 in (60cm) diameter, and/or boulders >24 in (60 cm) diameter, and.less than 2 percent bedrock exposure.

Qualifiers for data application to Massachusetts soil survey map unit prime farmland criteria per CFR:

Entire pH data range is applied to the pH criterion. All soil survey map unit components that otherwise meet prime farmland criteria have mineral horizon pH ranges w/in the CFR criterion. Tillage and accepted agricultural practices negate the pH limitation where attribute relative value is less than 4.5. Map units having a predominance of soils of coarse-loamy or coarse-silty particle size class overlying densic contact on 0 to 8% slopes with available water capacity data values <3.5 in (8.1 cm), and that meet remaining criteria per CFR are designated prime farmland. Although attribute data indicates the available water holding capacity minimum of 3.5 in (8.1 cm) is not met, these soils maintain a reservoir of moisture that supports plant growth due to reduced gravitational water loss and meets criteria per CFR of adequate moisture supply for the crops commonly grown. This qualifier is applicable to soil map components with moderately coarse to medium textured mantles overlying lodgment till.Where the product of K and slope percent is 2 or less for the lower part of a 3 to 8 percent map unit slope phase range but exceeds 2 for the upper part of the slope range, and remaining criteria per CFR are met, the map unit is designated prime farmland. Map units that meet all prime farmland criteria per CFR except the relative value data representing the predominant components reflects available water capacity of less than 3.5 in (8.9 cm) through the upper 40 in (1 m) but has sufficient available water capacity in the upper profile, are designated prime farmland. This qualifier is applicable to soil survey map unit components having moderately coarse to medium textured mantles overlying coarse textured deposits.Complexes and Associations - Soil map units with more than 50 percent components that meet any of the above scenarios are designated prime.

Criteria for the designation “Farmland of Statewide Importance"

Soil map units, the predominant composition of which does not meet criteria for prime farmland and have all the following characteristics…available water capacity of 2.0 in (5.1 cm) or more[4] within a depth of 40 in (1 m); and,pH between 4.5 and 8.4 in all horizons within a depth of 40 in (1 m) and,water table, if present, not shallower than 15 in (38 cm) during May through October; and,infrequent (less often than once in 2 years) or no flooding during May through October; and,the product of Kw (erodibility factor, whole soil) of the mineral soil surface and percent slope is less than 4.2[5]; and,permeability rate of at least 0.06 in (0.15 cm) per hour in the upper 20 in (50 cm); and,upper 6 in (15 cm) with less than 35 percent rock fragments by volume coarser than 3 in (7.6 cm); and,not more than 3 percent of the soil surface is covered by stones 10 in (25 cm) to 24 in (60 cm) diameter and, not more than 0.1 percent of the surface is covered by boulders >24 in (60 cm) diameter, andless than 2 percent bedrock exposures.

Qualifiers for data application to Massachusetts Farmland of Statewide Importance Criteria

Where the product of K and slope percent is 4.2 or less for the lower part of an 8 to 15 percent map unit slope phase range but exceeds 4.2 for the upper part of the slope range, and remaining criteria are met, the map unit is designated farmland of statewide importance. Complexes and Associations - Soil map units with more than 50 percent components that meet the above criteria are designated farmland of statewide importance.

Important Farmland Soil Map Unit Designation Overriding Scenarios

Application of anomalous or non-representative data elements to important farmland criteria may result in inaccurate class placement. The consideration of the characteristics of the soil survey map unit as a whole as assessed by Massachusetts NRCS staff overrides point specific data.

K factors and available water capacity data for the same nominal component may vary among soil survey areas resulting in different data-derived farmland classes. The characteristics of the predominant condition based on acreage extent will be applied state-wide for prime farmland and farmland of state-wide importance designations.

The following address specific scenarios where calculations based on attribute data may inaccurately place a map unit in prime farmland or farmland of statewide Importance classes. Soil map units having any of the following characteristics are precluded from important farmland designations:A major component that is shallow to lithic contact: complex slopes, surface stones and boulders associated with these map units, and very shallow components within these landscapes are significant limitations to agriculture.Slope phase range that includes 20 percent or more. Per recommendation from MA NRCS ecological sciences staff, 20 percent slope or greater is limiting for equipment operations.Hydric soil composition greater than or equal to 50 percent.Quartzipsamment composition greater than or equal to 50 percent: droughty, inherently low fertility. A major component of urban land and/or major component classified to level above series i.e. Udorthents.Map unit complexes associated with the undulating, rolling, irregular slopes of the Cape Cod terminal moraines.

Soil map units having any of the following characteristics are precluded from the designation, Prime Farmland:

Composition of soil components in the sandy-skeletal particle size class greater than or equal to 50 percent.Slope phase range that exceeds 8 percent.[6]

Unique Farmland

Soil survey map units designated as Unique Farmland, are those suitable for, and have an established history of cranberry production. The Unique Farmland designation is excluded from soil survey areas with few or no lands with cranberry production.

[1] Relative value refers to the value assigned to specific data elements in the National Soils Information System. Application of anomalous or non-representative values to important farmland criteria may result in inaccurate class placement. The consideration of the characteristics of the soil map unit as a whole overrides point specific data as determined by Massachusetts NRCS staff.

[2]Available water capacity needs determined from “Conservation Irrigation Guide for Massachusetts, 1981”

[3]Slope range values applied to this criterion exclude the lowest whole number in the range to separate overlap with the adjacent lower slope phase as follows: 0-3, 4-8, 9-15.

[4]Available water capacity needs determined from Conservation Irrigation Guide for Massachusetts, 1981

[5]Product of K and slope criterion based on historical precedent, MA Soil Conservation Service document, “Additional Farmland of State or Local Importance”,1/17/1986. Slope range values applied to this criterion exclude the lowest whole number in the range to separate overlap with the adjacent lower slope phase as follows: 0-3, 4-8, 9-15.

[6]Based on data, some map units meet Prime Farmland criteria on the lower part of the 8-15 percent slope range. About a dozen map units with available water capacity >3.5 inches and Kw of .1, .2, .15, or .17 were noted, all of which have loamy surface textures and parent material like other map units with higher Kw factors. The decision to exclude slopes greater than 8 percent from Prime Farmland is based on the preponderance of attribute data for similar soils.

Due to continued coastal population growth and increased threats of erosion, current data on trends and rates of shoreline movement are required to inform shoreline and floodplain management. The Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management launched the Shoreline Change Project in 1989 to identify erosion-prone areas of the coast. In 2001, a 1994 shoreline was added to calculate both long- and short-term shoreline change rates at 40-meter intervals along ocean-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast. The Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, has compiled reliable historical shoreline data along open-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast under the Massachusetts Shoreline Change Mapping and Analysis Project 2013 Update. Two oceanfront shorelines for Massachusetts (approximately 1,800 km in total length) were (1) delineated using 2008/09 color aerial orthoimagery, and (2) extracted from topographic LIDAR datasets (2007) obtained from NOAA's Ocean Service, Coastal Services Center. The new shorelines were integrated with existing Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management and USGS historical shoreline data in order to compute long- and short-term rates using the latest version of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS).

This GIS datalayer represents approximate service areas for Public Water Systems (PWS) in Massachusetts. In 2017, as part of its “Enhancing Resilience and Emergency Preparedness of Water Utilities through Improved Mapping” (Critical Infrastructure Mapping Project ), the MassDEP Water Utility Resilience Program (WURP) began to uniformly map drinking water service areas throughout Massachusetts using information collected from various sources. Along with confirming existing public water system (PWS) service area information, the project collected and verified estimated service area delineations for PWSs not previously delineated and will continue to update the information contained in the datalayers. As of the date of publication, WURP has delineated Community (COM) and Non-Transient Non-Community (NTNC) service areas. Transient non-community (TNCs) are not part of this mapping project.

Layers and Tables:

The MassDEP Estimated Public Water System Service Area data comprises two polygon feature classes and a supporting table. Some data fields are populated from the MassDEP Drinking Water Program’s Water Quality Testing System (WQTS) and Annual Statistical Reports (ASR).

The Community Water Service Areas feature class (PWS_WATER_SERVICE_AREA_COMM_POLY) includes polygon features that represent the approximate service areas for PWS classified as Community systems.The NTNC Water Service Areas feature class (PWS_WATER_SERVICE_AREA_NTNC_POLY) includes polygon features that represent the approximate service areas for PWS classified as Non-Transient Non-Community systems.The Unlocated Sites List table (PWS_WATER_SERVICE_AREA_USL) contains a list of known, unmapped active Community and NTNC PWS services areas at the time of publication.

Data Universe

Public Water Systems in Massachusetts are permitted and regulated through the MassDEP Drinking Water Program. The WURP has mapped service areas for all active and inactive municipal and non-municipal Community PWSs in MassDEP’s Water Quality Testing Database (WQTS). Community PWS refers to a public water system that serves at least 15 service connections used by year-round residents or regularly serves at least 25 year-round residents.

All active and inactive NTNC PWS were also mapped using information contained in WQTS. An NTNC or Non-transient Non-community Water System refers to a public water system that is not a community water system and that has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves at least 25 of the same persons or more approximately four or more hours per day, four or more days per week, more than six months or 180 days per year, such as a workplace providing water to its employees.

These data may include declassified PWSs. Staff will work to rectify the status/water services to properties previously served by declassified PWSs and remove or incorporate these service areas as needed.

Maps of service areas for these systems were collected from various online and MassDEP sources to create service areas digitally in GIS. Every PWS is assigned a unique PWSID by MassDEP that incorporates the municipal ID of the municipality it serves (or the largest municipality it serves if it serves multiple municipalities). Some municipalities contain more than one PWS, but each PWS has a unique PWSID. The Estimated PWS Service Area datalayer, therefore, contains polygons with a unique PWSID for each PWS service area.

A service area for a community PWS may serve all of one municipality (e.g. Watertown Water Department), multiple municipalities (e.g. Abington-Rockland Joint Water Works), all or portions of two or more municipalities (e.g. Provincetown Water Dept which serves all of Provincetown and a portion of Truro), or a portion of a municipality (e.g. Hyannis Water System, which is one of four PWSs in the town of Barnstable).

Some service areas have not been mapped but their general location is represented by a small circle which serves as a placeholder. The location of these circles are estimates based on the general location of the source wells or the general estimated location of the service area - these do not represent the actual service area.

The service areas were mapped from 2017 to 2022 and may not include all current active PWSs. A list of unmapped PWS systems is included in the USL table PWS_WATER_SERVICE_AREA_USL available for download with the dataset and shown below. Some PWSs that are not mapped may have come online after this iteration of the mapping project; these will be reconciled and mapped during the next phase of the WURP project. PWS IDs that represent regional or joint boards with (e.g. Tri Town Water Board, Randolph/Holbrook Water Board, Upper Cape Regional Water Cooperative) will not be mapped, because their individual municipal service areas are included in this datalayer.

Some PWSs that are not mapped may have come online after this iteration of the mapping project; these will be reconciled and mapped during the next phase of the WURP project. Those highlighted (e.g. Tri Town Water Board, Randolph/Holbrook Water Board, Upper Cape Regional Water Cooperative) represent regional or joint boards that will not be mapped, because their individual municipal service areas are included in this datalayer.

PWSs that do not have corresponding sources, may be part of consecutive systems, may have been incorporated into another PWSs, reclassified as a different type of PWS, or otherwise taken offline. PWSs that have been incorporated, reclassified, or taken offline will be reconciled during the next data update.

Methodologies and Data Sources

Several methodologies were used to create service area boundaries using various sources, including data received from the systems in response to requests for information from the MassDEP WURP project, information on file at MassDEP, and service area maps found online at municipal and PWS websites. When provided with water line data rather than generalized areas, 300-foot buffers were created around the water lines to denote service areas and then edited to incorporate generalizations. Some municipalities submitted parcel data or address information to be used in delineating service areas.

Verification Process

Small-scale PDF file maps with roads and other infrastructure were sent to every PWS for corrections or verifications. For small systems, such as a condominium complex or residential school, the relevant parcels were often used as the basis for the delineated service area. In towns where 97% or more of their population is served by the PWS and no other service area delineation was available, the town boundary was used as the service area boundary. Some towns responded to the request for information or verification of service areas by stating that the town boundary should be used since all or nearly all of the municipality is served by the PWS.

Sources of information for estimated drinking water service areas

The following information was used to develop estimated drinking water service areas:

EOEEA Water Assets Project (2005) water lines (these were buffered to create service areas)Horsely Witten Report 2008Municipal Master Plans, Open Space Plans, Facilities Plans, Water Supply System Webpages, reports and online interactive mapsGIS data received from PWSDetailed infrastructure mapping completed through the MassDEP WURP Critical Infrastructure InitiativeIn the absence of other service area information, for municipalities served by a town-wide water system serving at least 97% of the population, the municipality’s boundary was used. Determinations of which municipalities are 97% or more served by the PWS were made based on the Percent Water Service Map created in 2018 by MassDEP based on various sources of information including but not limited to:The Winter population served submitted by the PWS in the ASR submittalThe number of services from WQTS as a percent of developed parcelsTaken directly from a Master Plan, Water Department Website, Open Space Plan, etc. found onlineCalculated using information from the town on

Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data characterize the marine and coastal environments and wildlife based on sensitivity to spilled oil. There are three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. The shoreline and intertidal areas are ranked based on sensitivity determined by: (1) Shoreline type (substrate, grain size, tidal elevation, origin); (2) Exposure to wave and tidal energy; (3) Biological productivity and sensitivity; and (4) Ease of cleanup. The biology layers focus on threatened/endangered species, areas of high concentration and areas where sensitive life stages may occur. Supporting data tables provide species/location-specific abundance, seasonality, status, life history, and source information Human use resources mapped include managed areas (parks, refuges, critical habitats, etc) and resources that may be impacted by oiling and/or clean-up, such as beaches, archaeological sites marinas etc. ESIs are available for the majority of the US coastline, as well as the US territories. ESI data are available in a variety of GIS formats as well as PDF maps.For more information go to or to download complete ESI data sets go to: https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/esiFor the full metadata record please go to: https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/inport/item/51674For online ESI query tools, see the Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA): https://response.restoration.noaa.gov/resources/maps-and-spatial-data/environmental-response-management-application-erma

The Massachusetts Drought Management Plan (DMP, 2023) uses data from select lake and impoundment systems as an index for drought in six of seven regions in the state. The contents of these lakes and impoundments are reported to Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and classified as one of five levels for drought severity ranging from level 0 (Normal; percentile greater than 30) to level 4 (Emergency; percentile less than 2). Lake and impoundment system data are provided at the end of each month to DCR through multiple agencies as lake levels, volumes, or percent-full (reservoir capacity). USGS reviewed data from 14 of the lake or impoundment systems including 28 waterbodies. Diagrams for each system show the capacity of each waterbody and how water is transported through the systems. This data release provides historical monthly data in volume for each system and historical monthly data in feet for systems that consist of only one waterbody when recorded values were available . From these historical monthly data, the 50th-, 30th-, 20th-, 10th-, and 2nd- percentiles were computed. Stage volume rating data for each waterbody at each system are provided in two formats to convert gage height (feet) to volume (million gallons). The stage volume rating data files are formatted as a text (.txt) table for easy manual reading and the other is a comma-separated value (.csv) column format that is easily loaded into a spreadsheet. Stage volume rating data were provided by the municipalities and agencies that manage the systems or were developed for this study. At one system (Hudson, Gates Pond), no stage volume rating data or bathymetry data were available. A stage volume rating was developed using a python script using maximum depth and a shape file of the pond shoreline. The Python script used to develop the stage volume rating data and the R script used to compute the quantiles are published as a part of this data release. Files for each system include supplied historical volume, computed volume percentiles, stage volume rating(s), and a system diagram. Historical elevation data and computed elevation percentiles are included when applicable.

In 2001, a 1994 shoreline was added to calculate both long- and short-term shoreline change rates at 40-meter intervals along ocean-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast. The Coastal and Marine Geology Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management, has compiled reliable historical shoreline data along open-facing sections of the Massachusetts coast under the Massachusetts Shoreline Change Mapping and Analysis Project 2013 Update. Two oceanfront shorelines for Massachusetts (approximately 1,800 km) were (1) delineated using 2008/09 color aerial orthoimagery, and (2) extracted from topographic LIDAR datasets (2007) obtained from NOAA's Ocean Service, Coastal Services Center. The new shorelines were integrated with existing Massachusetts Office of Coastal Zone Management (MA CZM) and USGS historical shoreline data in order to compute long- and short-term rates using the latest version of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS).

As of May 2021, the United States had a wind offshore project pipeline of more than 35 gigawatts, with nearly 40 percent located in the state of New York. At the time, nearly 10 gigawatts of the state's pipeline was still in the planning phase. Meanwhile, in Massachusetts, around five gigawatts were in the site control stage, with another 0.8 gigawatts already approved.

The TIGER/Line shapefiles and related database files (.dbf) are an extract of selected geographic and cartographic information from the U.S. Census Bureau's Master Address File / Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing (MAF/TIGER) Database (MTDB). The MTDB represents a seamless national file with no overlaps or gaps between parts, however, each TIGER/Line shapefile is designed to stand alone as an independent data set, or they can be combined to cover the entire nation. Voting district is the generic name for geographic entities such as precincts, wards, and election districts established by State governments for the purpose of conducting elections. States participating in the 2010 Census Redistricting Data Program as part of Public Law 94-171 (1975) provided the Census Bureau with boundaries, codes, and names for their VTDs. Each VTD is identified by a 1- to 6-character alphanumeric census code that is unique within county. For the 2010 Census, Kentucky and Rhode Island are the only States that did not provide voting district boundaries as part of Phase 2 (the Voting District Project) of the Redistricting Data Program and no VTDs exist for these States in the 2020 Census data products. Note that only Montana and Oregon do not have complete coverage of VTDs for the 2020 Census.

This project convened experts and practitioners in the areas of program evaluation, radicalization to violent extremism, and social media analytics in order to generate and integrate scientifically derived knowledge into strategies for effective prevention and intervention against domestic radicalization and violent extremism in the United States. More specifically, we generated substantive evaluation data, which can be used by practitioners and policy makers to enhance the creation and dissemination of effective counter-narratives for reducing the threat of ideologically-motivated violence in the US. We used a mixed-methods approach to evaluate an existing nationwide initiative, Peer-to-Peer (P2P): Challenging Extremism, which aims at engaging youth in countering violent extremism in schools and online arenas. The project had four specific objectives: 1) Evaluate the content and dissemination of the P2P Initiative social media products, 2) evaluate the impact of the P2P Initiative on youth engaged in its development, 3) evaluate the impact of youth exposure to the P2P educational activities, and 4) assess the drivers of success and barriers in the implementation of the initiative. To complete these objectives, the following research phases were conducted: A secondary review of 150 P2P social media products created between fall 2015 and spring 2017, including data on end-users interactivity. Phone and in-person group interviews with faculty and students engaged in the P2P Initiative. A prospective cohort study evaluating the impact of the Kombat with Kindness (KWK) campaign on Utah secondary school students, using a pre-post intervention design. A randomized control study evaluating the impact of the Operation 250 (OP250) on Massachusetts secondary school students, using a pre-post intervention design. Phone interviews with faculty who implemented the P2P Initiative.
