Statistical methods applied to social sciences, made accessible to all through an emphasis on concepts Statistical Methods for the Social Sciences introduces statistical methods to students majoring in social science disciplines. With an emphasis on concepts and applications, this book assumes no previous knowledge of statistics and only a minimal mathematical background. It contains sufficient material for a two-semester course. The 5th Edition uses examples and exercises with a variety of "real data." It includes more illustrations of statistical software for computations and takes advantage of the outstanding applets to explain key concepts, such as sampling distributions and conducting basic data analyses. It continues to downplay mathematics-often a stumbling block for students-while avoiding reliance on an overly simplistic recipe-based approach to statistics.

ZusammenfassungIm Verhältnis von Kriminologie und Prostitution besteht schon mit Blick auf die Gefahr von Stigmatisierungen Klärungsbedarf. Zentrale Bedeutung hat dabei die Frage, ob das Anbieten oder die Inanspruchnahme von sexuellen Handlungen gegen Entgelt sowie damit im Zusammenhang stehende Verhaltensweisen als "Verbrechen" anzusehen sind. Aber auch die aktuelle Handhabung der Prostitution durch die Rechtsordnung oder der Umgang mit Reformforderungen stehen mit Tatsachen im Zusammenhang, die an eine kriminologische Zuständigkeit denken lassen. Insbesondere widmet sich die Kriminologie – wie auch andere (forensische) Wissenschaften – der Faktenbasis einer Freiverantwortlichkeit, auf die es nicht zuletzt im Zusammenhang mit dem Anbieten von sexuellen Handlungen gegen Entgelt ankommt.

This accessible and practical textbook gives students the perfect guide to the use of regression models in testing and evaluating hypotheses dealing with social relationships. A range of statistical methods suited to a wide variety of dependent variables is explained, which will allow students to read, understand, and interpret complex statistical analyses of social data. Each chapter contains example applications using relevant statistical methods in both Stata and R, giving students direct experience of applying their knowledge. A full suite of online resources - including statistical command files, datasets and results files, homework assignments, class discussion topics, PowerPoint slides, and exam questions - supports the student to work independently with the data, and the instructor to deliver the most effective possible course. This is the ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students taking courses in applied social statistics

The human aspect plays an important role in the social sciences. The behavior of people has become a vital area of focus in the social sciences as well. Interdisciplinary Behavior and Social Sciences contains papers that were originally presented at the 3rd International Congress on Interdisciplinary Behavior and Social Science 2014 (ICIBSoS 2014), held 1-2 November 2014 at the Bali Dynasty Resort, Kuta, Bali, Indonesia. The contributions deal with various interdisciplinary research topics, particularly in the fields of social sciences, education, economics and arts. The papers focus especially.

There are in the Eastern und Southern African subregion about 200 high-level training institutions. With the exception of the Sudan, where five universities exist, there is an average of one university to each country. University teaching and research are concentrated on the disciplines of education, business and commerce, administration and management. More than 45 per cent of the other training institutions are concentrated on the business and commerce, administration and management disciplines. (DSE)
