Description:
This free webinar is for anyone with an interest in exploring long term changes in social attitudes and in experiences of crime using social surveys.
Presented by Professor Stephen Farrall and organised by the UK Data Service, this webinar will introduce new survey datasets, now available for download from the UK Data Service under SN7875, which bring together multiple years of data from each of the British Social Attitudes Surveys (1983-2012) and the Crime Survey for England and Wales (formerly the British Crime Survey) (1982-2012).
Each dataset has been collated at the individual level so that a range of analysis techniques can be used to interrogate them and each has been given standardised variable names, labels, codings etc, which permit easy use.
The datasets can be used by those who either wish to model processes of social change at the cohort level (e.g. by birth year) or those who want to develop models at the macro level and run, for example, times series models.
