Data Analysis
RQ: Does the increase in the number of immigration violations lead to increase in crime rate?
IV illegal immigrant yes or no
DV amount of crime
Using immigrants alone is insufficient. Immigrants is a constant until it can have more than one value. What are the values for the IV and DV?
What are the scales of measurement for research question?
When a researcher performs a correlational study with multi independent variables and a dependent variable (i.e., multiple regression), the relationships among the independent variables must also be considered. In other words, the researcher must check for multicollinearity. If the independent variables consist of both continuous and categorical variables, then multicollinearity must be checked with different methods of statistical analyses.
Whats the results of the study? (provide tables) Describe what analysis of the data has revealed. Discuss how findings can be used to make improvements in the field or as the basis for further research.
•Define the general problem statement that you are investigating. For example, a problem statement can be "Convicted offenders find it difficult to seek gainful employment upon release from prison."
•Identify the key issues related to the problem, such as lack of skills among offenders, a desire to return to criminality rather than pursuing lawful employment, or reluctance on the part of employers to hire offenders.
•Specify the research question(s) intend to answer with relation to the problem statement. For example, "Does participation in prison-based technical training programs improve an offender's opportunities for postrelease employment?"
•Identify potential sources of data.
•Define the expected outcome of the research question-what expect to find and why.explain what was actually found was in line with the expectations or not.
