Engages in necessary preparation to analyse your dataset

a) identify each variable and what these represent
b) ensure that each variable is correctly encoded
c) recodethe original ‘age’ variable and use this as one of your
Independent variables

* Please note that this Ward and dataset is fictitious. 2
3) Presents your analysis and results for which you need to:
a) Define at least THREE hypotheses that will help you make sense of the data:
i) Define and describe each hypothesis (in sentences);
ii) Explain the rationale behind your testing of each hypothesis (in relation to the literature);
iii) Distinguish between the independent and dependent variables in each
hypothesis.
b) Begin a preliminary analysis of the data using these hypotheses by running univariate analyses for which you are to:
i) produce frequency tables for each of the variables you have chosen for your hypotheses
ii) Distinguish between the nominal, ordinal and scale variables
iii) Apply mean, median or mode measures of central tendency to each variable
WHERE APPROPRIATE
iv) Interpret EACH table and describe in a few sentences what the numbers mean/represent/indicates (what the numbers mean and how this is relevant to answering your research question)
v) Make sure each table is properly numbered and labelled.

c) Undertake a bivariate Analysis for which are you to:
i) Produce crosstabulations for EACH of the hypotheses you have developed
ii) READ ACROSS THE ROWS
iii) describe/interpret (in sentences) what the numbers in EACH table
mean/represent

iv) Explain the relevance of information contained in EACH table
v) Make sure each table is properly numbered and labelled.

d) Undertake elaboration & significance tests:
i) Elaborate ONE hypothesis by adding a third variable and testing how this affects the findings in your original bivariate analysis
ii) Perform a chi-square test on ONE of your crosstabulations to see if the results can be generalised
iii) Make sure each table is properly numbered and labelled.

a) A summary of the key findings from your analyses
b) A discussion of how your findings relate to work by other criminologists who have looked at the chosen subject (link to your introduction). Include references to any work or research cited
c) A conclusion: based on your sample and analysis what is the answer to the research
question?
