A Criminologist's Guide to R: Crime by the Numbers introduces the
programming language R and covers the necessary skills to conduct
quantitative research in criminology. By the end of this book, a
person without any prior programming experience can take raw crime
data, be able to clean it, visualize the data, present it using R
Markdown, and change it to a format ready for analysis. A
Criminologist's Guide to R focuses on skills specifically for
criminology such as spatial joins, mapping, and scraping data from
PDFs, however any social scientist looking for an introduction to R
for data analysis will find this useful. Key Features: Introduction
to RStudio including how to change user preference settings. Basic
data exploration and cleaning - subsetting, loading data, regular
expressions, aggregating data. Graphing with ggplot2. How to make
maps (hotspot maps, choropleth maps, interactive maps). Webscraping
and PDF scraping. Project management - how to prepare for a
project, how to decide which projects to do, best ways to
collaborate with people, how to store your code (using git), and
how to test your code.
