" Various measures of dispersion are also reviewed, with an explanation of whether the research supports or disproves the hypotheses explored.
Variables - Independent and Dependent
The data collected reflects the independent and dependent variables explored for purposes of this study. The independent variables explored include: sex and gender of study participants, ethnicity of participants, socioeconomic status and religious or moral practices. The dependent variables explored include: participants age, the type of justice used (restorative model or correctional models).
Statistical Analysis/Means/Mode/Median
The statistical analysis measures the frequency distribution for "numeric" discrete variables and "categorical variables" labeled (e.g. A_AGE) (USFR, 2001:3). All variables are un-weighted for purposes of this study. Table 1.1 below provides the statistical...
ATYPE represents the type of justice system reviewed among all participants, R-restorative, C-correctional and RH-rehabilitative.

Missing: 23
Using the information above, Cumulative F. represents the cumulative frequency given the population count of 200 participants of the 223 requested in the study. Thus the frequency of data missing (data that does not provide conclusive evidence regarding the source of rehabilitation used and outcome) include 23 representing approximately 10.4% of the population surveyed. Central tendency figures suggest a majority (i.e.

Criminal Justice Management Mapping Crime Hotspots to Deter Crime Reducing crime is a constant concern of law enforcement and community leaders. Police strategies for reducing crime rely heavily on deterrence, in the form of police patrols (reviewed by Koper, 1995, p. 649-650). Research has shown that a police presence reminds offenders and potential offenders of the certainty of punishment, which is a more effective deterrent than the promised severity of a punishment.
In the experimental community, the researchers instituted a media campaign to increase seat-belt usage, followed by increased police enforcement of the seat-belt law. It was found that the percentage of drivers using seat belts increased in the experimental community but remained stable or declined slightly in the comparison community (Piquero and Piquero, 2002). An example of the before-and-after design would be the analysis of the impact of the Massachusetts Bartley-Fox
Furthermore, several of the partnerships that COPS agencies were able to produce within their disparate communities were little more than simple name recognition, and were not able to produce a significantly impactful relationship between those agencies and the surrounding communities. This lack of a true cooperative partnership also accounts for why the research conducted for the COPS program did not truly have as successful an impact as it probably
In fact, the study showed that most citizens in Kansas City couldn't even tell when the frequency of police patrols were increased or decreased. The conclusions were clear to me that the increase in police patrols did not significantly deter crime. Yet, still, we continue to practice such increased police presence strategies. Personally, I believe this is more to help ease citizens and tax payers' minds. With the police forces
Justice System Criminal Justice Data Interpretation In December of 2014 the National Center for Juvenile Justice published its fourth "comprehensive report on juvenile crime, victimization, and the juvenile justice system." (Sickmund, 2014, pg iii) This report was prepared in order to present the most important information on the juvenile justice system and those who come under its jurisdiction. In order to understand the many influences on the lives of juveniles, the report
Baker reviewed three landmark Supreme Court decisions on capital punishment and concluded that the death penalty is capriciously imposed on Black defendants and thus serves the extra-legal function of preserving majority group interests. He viewed discrimination in capital sentencing as deliberate and identified the primary reasons why Black defendants with white victims have been denied fairness in capital sentencing. These are prosecutorial discretion in the selective prosecution of capital
