Book Description: Would you like to try analyzing General Social Survey data online, at the UC Berkeley web site? Here's the URL (Web address), as of February, 2001: http://csa.berkeley.edu:7502/a http://csa.berkeley.edu:7502/archive.htm When you connect to this site, you can select a dataset for analysis. You can analyze data collected in the General Social Survey up to 1996 by selecting the GSS dataset. However, since this dataset doesn't include the 1998 GSS data, you can't carry out all the text exercises with this dataset. Please note that the Web address for the Berkeley site is slightly different than what appears in the preface to The Practice of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice. Let us know if this site is useful to you! Russell Schutt russell.schutt@umb.edu Ronet Bachman ronet@udel.edu ******************************** 1.
