Advanced Quantitative Research Methods

1.00 credits · Undergraduate

This course provides an overview of key practices and applications of quantitative research methods as well as more advanced descriptive and inferential analyses, data modification techniques, and diagnostic tests. There will be an emphasis on critically applying these tools to understand criminal justice phenomena and interpreting statistical findings, rather than on their mathematical derivations. An important element of this course will involve a research project where students carry out an independent quantitative research study.
