Criminal Justice Statistics is a focus on the role of data collection and analysis in formal, empirical research projects. The course begins with a review of statistical applications including measures of central tendency, dispersion, and hypothesis testing. The course concludes with an examination of more complex analytical tools such as MANOVA, Factor Analysis, Path Analysis, and Logistical Regression. Students will review various styles of multivariate analysis in peer-reviewed scholarly literature as well as use computing resources to conduct their own multivariate analysis of a criminal justice dataset.
