Use the CSEW 2011-12 data set and SPSS software to complete all the following tasks and report the results.
For the purposes of this assignment you should treat the data as population data with no case-level non-response. You are expected to use analyses that are appropriate for the variables chosen and report the results fully but concisely. Use tables and graphs where necessary but only ‘cut and paste’ SPSS output where it is not possible to create an alternative yourself. The numbers in brackets refer to the variable numbers in the data set.
In addition to reporting the results of the statistical analysis you are also expected, where possible, to make judgements about size of any differences or strength of any relationships discovered. However, your answers should not involve any references to the substantive literature or any attempts to explain the findings.
1. Describe the univariate distribution of Age (v3) and TWO of the other Personal Contextual Variables from v5 to v9.
2. Investigate the bivariate relationships between living in an inner-city area (v12) and one of the “Police” variables (v27 – v30). Display your results using frequencies and percentages (and associated graphs as appropriate).
3. Investigate the bivariate relationships between (1) religion [v6] and (2) any two of the “confidence” variables (v19 – v22).
4. Investigate the bivariate relationships between education (v7) and any ONE of the “worry” Variables (v19 to v22). Display your results using frequencies and expected counts.
5. Investigate the bivariate relationships between Age (v3) and any ONE of the “problem” Variables (v35 to v37).
6. Investigate the bivariate relationship between Age (v3) and Experience of Crime (v13).
7. Investigate the bivariate relationship between Age (v3) and ONE of the Justice Variables (v32 to 34). Use more than one technique to analyze this relationship and demonstrate and explain the advantages and disadvantages of the techniques used.
