Document Summary
Why do we care about the definition: impacts how new canadians adapt if where they are from something isn"t considered illegal, need crime statistics. Ucrs - uniform crime reporting survey: reports official statistics that all polices forces across canada feed into statistics canada, based on most serious crime occurring within one offence. Victimization survey: administered by statistics canada, has anyone broken into your house, touched you inappropriately etc in the last 6 months- a year. Correlates of self reported delinquency: main finding: delinquency prevalence rate among canadian youth (12-15) was 39% during 12 month pre survey, delinquency: youth who commit criminal acts, less serious. Wednesday, january 11, 2017: is intervention working? is it reducing criminal behaviour, theory construction and evaluation. Value of p value vs. effect size: focus on effect size, wanna focus on whether its replicable, does it test to theory.
