Assignment:
The NACJD includes a variety of data resource guides on its home page (http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NACJD/). Each resource guide describes how a data series is collected, along with key features of measures and other information. I want everyone to choose two data resource guides, and then: (a) summarize in a paragraph or so how data were collected, and what are the units of analysis; and (b) formulate at least one research question that you think can be addressed by data in the series.
*Note: The ICPSR is one of the best secondary data set collections for CJ in the country.
