Create a statistical portrait of the people from the Rikers 1989 2.sav dataset who were arrested for a particular crime. Your description should include statistics that summarize the distribution of age, prior misdemeanors, felonies and open cases, as well as at least four other variables that you choose. Your report should include at least two bi-variate comparisons.

Steps:

1) Review the kinds of crimes for which the people in the dataset were arrested, using either the aucr1 (Uniform Crime Reports most serious charge) variable or the asev1 (severity level of the most serious charge) variable.
Procedure: Frequencies

2) Choose a group to write about – based on offense level (asev1) or type of crime (aucr1). Look for the value associated to the level of severity or to the crime type. In PSPP, you will see the value in the Frequencies table. In SPSS, you have to use the VALUES column in Variable View.

3) Select, using Select Cases from the DATA menu, the records for the people you have chosen to study. (Look in the SPSS Work section of Blackboard for the Step-by-Step Guide to Selecting Cases). There are instruction sections for PSPP, SPSS 20 & SPSS 11.5.

4) Use the Frequencies, Descriptives and/or Compare Means procedures to generate charts and statistics for the four required quantitiative variables, age, prior misdemeanors, felonies and open cases. (Look in SPSS Work for the Step-by-Step Guides to these procedures).

5) Use Frequencies and/or CrossTabs to generate the tables and charts or statistics on other variables measured at the ordinal or nominal level.

6) If you use SPSS, you can copy results from SPSS into a Word document and write several paragraphs describing your sample of the arrestees from the 1989 Rikers dataset. If you use PSPP, save your output (tables, charts and graphs) as a PDF file and write the summary of your data in Word.

SPSS is a statistics software program that is available on the pcs in all labs at John Jay College. There are two versions installed on the lab pcs – SPSS version 11.5 and SPSS version 20. They are not different in the statistical functions we will use in any important way. There is also a freeware version called PSPP.
You will have work to do each week using SPSS, so each student must decide whether to make time to do the SPSS work in one of the John Jay labs or purchase the program for home use or download the free version – PSPP.
The advantage to working in the labs at John Jay is that, during StatLab hours, there will be a lab assistant to help with the use of the program.
If you decide to work on the program at home, you will need to purchase a copy of the program or download a trial version or download and install the freeware version, PSPP. Purchasing directly from SPSS, even for students, is fairly expansive, and I suggest that you purchase a license for a semester or a year from e-academy (link below) or purchase a book that comes with some version of the program.
You can download and use SPSS 20 for three weeks, free of charge, from this link at the SPSS website. If you are considering home use, I suggest that you download this trial version – to make sure you really want to use the program at home.

You first create an account at SPSS. Then proceed to download the trial version of SPSS 20

You are required to do 4 journal entries, one from each of the major musical time periods outlined in the text book. To do the journal entry, you should listen to a piece of music from the time period and write a nice paper describing what you heard and your reaction to it. There are no right or wrong answers, you simply listen and then reflect on what you heard in writing. Perhaps you could use some of the terminology in the text book or tell what instruments you heard or how the piece stirred your imagination. Feel free to use the music on the CD’s that came with your textbook, or you could find your own listening example on the internet or in the library as long as they are from the time periods listed below. You will find a list of suggested listening material at the end of the syllabus.

Entry 1 – Baroque Era

Listed below are a few pieces that you could use to do your listening journal assignment, but you are not limited to this list. You may also choose your own as long as you stick to the four time periods given. Your text book is full of great suggested listening material also. Have fun with this!

International relations theorists who focus on the individual level of analysis find themselves at odds over two basic premises. One group (human nature theorists), believe that violence is innate to humans and therefore the state (which constitutes a specific geographic group of individuals) becomes a vehicle for which those violent impulses are channeled. The second group (cognitive theorists), see human violence as a learned behavior, not instinctual, and therefore something which could potentially be “unlearned” or “relearned.” In this essay, examine the data produced by both sides of this argument and explain who you think gives the more compelling explanation for violence and war.

Sample Outline?(But feel free to design your outline any way you wish)

Prepare a brief paper describing what you’ve heard about how people use various social networking websites (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, any others that come to mind) — perhaps it’s based on some earlier experience of your own, perhaps on conversations with others and second-hand reports, perhaps it’s just by reading about them, perhaps just on speculation projected from anything that you have heard.

Describe what you’ve heard about utilization — benefits, problems, things to come, etc. Think about what you might be able to do if you did have full access to such tools — either taking advantage of them to do things that you might want to do, or protecting yourself against their use if you don’t like them.

Basically, your task here is to review what you know and don’t know about such social networking tools, and relate them to your own purposes and goals and potential behavior.

Feel free to extrapolate from what you do know to what you don’t know — just make it clear when you are doing so. Remember, the aim is to relate the topic to your own experiences of it, present or future. You won’t always be stuck on the fringes of the information world; being ready to re-enter it is always something to think about!
