Introduction to government survey data: focus on crime
Lancaster University
Tuesday 6 October 2009
Level of course: introductory
Pre-requisites: none but some SPSS may be useful
This workshop introduces the UK large-scale government survey data that are
available for re-analysis and teaching. The focus of the workshop will be on
crime-related data but many of the issues covered are applicable to other
areas. The day is aimed at those with little or no experience of the data.
There will be an introductory session on general crime statistics and how
best to measure crime. Participants will then learn about the data
available, considerations when using the data, the research potential of the
data, how to register for and access data and where to go for help. There
will also be a hands-on computing session to explore the data in Nesstar and
start analysis in SPSS.
The workshop is free to attend, however, a £20 charge will be imposed for
non-attendance or for less than 2 working days notice of cancellation.
