LCJS 1610 - DATA ANALYSIS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICEMinimum Credits: 3 Maximum Credits: 3 This course examines various data sources related to the context and workings of the criminal justice system. We assess the strengths and weaknesses of existing data sources and analyze how data can be used to improve our understanding of criminal justice institutions and their operation. Students will get regular practice with data interpretation exercises, including using basic arithmetic tools (e.g. rate ratios, percent change) for the purpose of rigorous tabular and descriptive analyses, and in preparation for more advanced forms of quantitative analysis. As a final project, students will draw on several existing sources to create and analyze a data set relevant to their own criminal justice interests.
