Description:
This is an introductory course designed to provide participants with the skills necessary to understand and critically evaluate quantitative information, including reports from the Office for National Statistics and academic literature on crime and policing.
The course will cover the core statistical concepts, starting with basic topics like descriptive statistics (mean, median) and progressing to more advanced subjects such as regression analysis. Participants will also work with police data and crime surveys using the R statistical software.
Taught by an experienced quantitative researcher, this two-day program features a mix of lectures, interactive exercises, and hands-on practical training in a computer lab using R.
