I'm unfamiliar with the term field arrest. If I get this right, this is what happens when you get arrested for a misdemeanour on site, cited and then immediately let go? Possibly with a requirement of turning up to a police station for booking, or to a court date?
I read a bit of the paper, and it seems they are simply using the data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997.
The relevant NLS topical guide says the following:
And looking up the phrasing in the questionnaire is also exactly the same
So I guess it would depend on whether respondents consider a field arrest an arrest and report it.
