“…For more detailed overviews of studies conducted with the PADS+ STB data, see Wikström et al, (2010;2012a) In collaboration with the PADS+ staff, the Space-Time Budget method was translated and adjusted to the Dutch situation in the Study of Peers, Activities and Neighborhoods (SPAN). Data from the SPAN project have been used to examine, for example, situational causes of crime (Bernasco et al, 2013) and victimization (Averdijk and Bernasco, 2014), conditions under which 'time spent with peers' is related to adolescent offending (Weerman, Bernasco, Bruinsma and Pauwels, 2015a), whether the locations where adolescents 'hang out' are associated with offending , and to investigate the extent to which parenting is related to time spent 'hanging out' with friends (Janssen, Deković, and Bruinsma, 2014).…”

“…In the second wave, 615 of the 843 adolescents participated again (73 percent). The main reasons for attrition were that adolescents simply refused participation, that they could not be contacted, that their parents refused to give permission, or that the adolescents repeatedly did not show up at ap-pointments (Bernasco et al, 2013;Weerman et al, 2015a). Two adolescents in the second wave completed the time diaries, but were ill during the entire reference period (four days).…”

Motivated by recent time use studies in criminology, this study examined whether time diaries are suitable for measuring short and rare activities such as offending. The study compared time diary data collected among 843 adolescents from the conurbation of The Hague (the Netherlands) with stylized questionnaire data from the same respondents, and with stylized questionnaire data from another sample that is representative for Dutch adolescents (N = 1849). Based on the reported offenses in the diaries (N = 101), findings indicate that time diaries may underestimate population offense rates and may not capture offenses committed by low-frequent offenders. On the other hand, time diaries seem able to measure changes in individuals' involvement in offending over time and to capture most of the situational conditions under which offenses occur. The study concludes with suggestions for dealing with the problems associated with measuring short and rare activities. JEL-Codes:C00, C80, C83, K42

“…The first study by Weerman et al (2013) provides a case in which STB data from the SPAN study were employed to specify the influence of adolescent activity patterns on individual differences in delinquent behavior. In particular, they aimed to get an increased insight in the conditions under which spending time with peers is conducive to delinquency.…”

“…In contrast, the STB data of the SPAN study enabled to establish in much more detail where and with whom time is spent with peers, and what respondents are doing when they are with peers. In particular, these data enabled Weerman et al (2013) to systematically contrast spending time with peers a) in physical as opposed to 'online' interaction, b) in public space as opposed to private space, c) unsupervised as opposed to supervised by adults d) just socializing as opposed to activity-based e) in settings with access to alcohol or drugs as opposed to settings without access to substances, and f ) with a group as opposed to a single peer.…”

This article reviews the Space-Time Budget method developed by Wikström and colleagues and particularly discusses its relevance for criminological research. The Space-Time Budget method is a data collection instrument aimed at recording, retrospectively, on an hour-by-hour basis, the whereabouts and activities of respondents during four days in the week before the interview. The method includes items about criminologically relevant events, such as offending and victimization. We demonstrate that the method can be very useful in criminology, because it enables the study of situational causes of crime and victimization, because it enables detailed measurement of theoretical concepts such as individual lifestyles and individual routine activities, and because it enables the study of adolescents' whereabouts, which extends the traditional focus on residential neighborhoods. The present article provides the historical background of the method, explains how the method can be applied, presents validation results based on data from 843 secondary school students in the Netherlands and describes the methods' strengths and weaknesses. Two case studies are summarized to illustrate the usefulness of the method in criminological research. The article concludes with some anticipated future developments and recommendations on further readings. To enable cross-national comparison of time use, Szalai and colleagues developed methods for sampling, interviewing, coding and data processing that were implemented in all twelve participating countries. These methods and instruments shaped most of the subsequent time use studies (Harvey and Pentland 1999: 6; Michelson 2005: 12).Time use studies have now appeared on a variety of topics and in a variety of fields. Recent overviews mention time use studies within economics, business administration, gerontology, urban planning, political science and occupational therapy, nursing and medicine, recreation and physical and health education, sociology, anthropology and psychology. Just to give a few examples: in economics, time use data is applied for investigating poverty (e.g., whether individuals have too many obligations to enjoy leisure) or the time spent on paid work relative to 'nonmarket-productive' time such as time spent on domestic activity, education or child care. Health studies and studies in gerontology apply time use data to investigate active and sedentary behavior and time use by older
