This book provides the student, researcher or practitioner with the
tools to understand many of the most commonly used advanced
statistical analysis tools in criminology and criminal justice, and
also to apply them to research problems. The volume is structured
around two main topics, giving the user flexibility to find what
they need quickly. The first is "the general linear model" which is
the main analytic approach used to understand what influences
outcomes in crime and justice. It presents a series of approaches
from OLS multivariate regression, through logistic regression and
multi-nomial regression, hierarchical regression, to count
regression. The volume also examines alternative methods for
estimating unbiased outcomes that are becoming more common in
criminology and criminal justice, including analyses of randomized
experiments and propensity score matching. It also examines the
problem of statistical power, and how it can be used to better
design studies. Finally, it discusses meta analysis, which is used
to summarize studies; and geographic statistical analysis, which
allows us to take into account the ways in which geographies may
influence our statistical conclusions.
