Statistical challenges in Justice: How does evidence
influence policy?
Abstract.
Evidence-based policy is now well established within Government. But
what does this mean in practice? This talk will explore some of the
analytical challenges and problems that have come up in Justice over
the last few years, and reflect on how statistics and statisticians
can and should be used to help deliver Government policy.
Tea and coffee will be available after the seminar in the Mathematics
Common Room (5212).
I hope to see you all there.
