ESDS Government Research Conference: Crime, Safety and Community
British Academy, London
Wednesday 18 November 2009
This one-day conference focuses on research evidence from the British Crime
Survey, the Home Office Offenders Index and the Scottish Crime and
Victimisation Survey. Papers cover a range of issues, including the
distribution of crime victimisation in the general population, changes in
offending profiles with age, property crime and fear of crime. The
conference will be relevant for those with an interest in crime and
associated policy areas. The day seeks to present research with policy
relevance and we particularly welcome attendance from policy makers,
analysts and senior academics.

Introduction to government survey data: focus on crime
Lancaster University
Tuesday 6 October 2009
This workshop introduces the UK large-scale government survey data that is
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.
