INSTRUCTIONS:
You will need to obtain the data necessary to conduct each study. The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research at the University of Michigan maintains a variety of datasets on criminal justice and other topics. These datasets are in SPSS format. *However, the ICPSR is not mandatory. You can seek datasets from other sources. I provided you with an example of a lecture & research paper that uses the technique. You can use that example as a guide to follow. Remember that while published articles have tables and figures integrated in the text of the manuscript, you submit a manuscript to a journal with the tables and figures after the references. Tables are first and then figures. You place (Insert Table 1 about here) in the manuscript to alert the editor where the table should be placed. A table is typically placed after you finished discussing it in the manuscript. It is the same with figures. Topic: Does Weather Conditions Increase Traffic Accidents Response Variable: Number of Accidents Categorical Variable: Weather Conditions (Sunny, Rain, Snow, Fog) Special Events ( Yes or No) Please be sure to use any other categorical variable
