The volume is structured around two main topics, giving the user flexibility to find what they need quickly. The first is "the general linear model" which is the main analytic approach used to understand what influences outcomes in crime and justice. It presents a series of approaches from OLS multivariate regression, through logistic regression and multi-nomial regression, hierarchical regression, to count regression. The volume also examines alternative methods for estimating unbiased outcomes that are becoming more common in criminology and criminal justice, including analyses of randomized experiments and propensity score matching. It also examines the problem of statistical power, and how it can be used to better design studies. Finally, it discusses meta analysis, which is used to summarize studies; and geographic statistical analysis, which allows us to take into account the ways in which geographies may influence our statistical conclusions."--Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Criminal statistics. 700 1 $a Wilson, David B., $d 1961- $e author. 700 1 $a Wooditch, Alese, $e author. 700 1 $a Britt, Chester L., $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231004011344.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517010223.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=82CD13006DF511ECB33FF4E951ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
