This book introduces the programming language R and is meant for undergrads or graduate students studying criminology. R is a programming language that is well-suited to the type of work frequently done in criminology - taking messy data and turning it into useful information. While R is a useful tool for many fields of study, this book focuses on the skills criminologists should know and uses crime data for the example data sets.Notes for using R in criminology research
Tried multiple devices to verify not just something off with my machine. I glanced around the source (both RMD and HTML) and did not see an immediate reason for it though.
Hi, I'm excited to use your book for a class I'm teaching at Drexel this spring. We are using RStudio Cloud and I want to load the first dataset you use as an example. Here is the code shr <- readRDS("/cloud/project/shr_1976_2020.rds")
This may not be an issue you want to troubleshoot - I can also ask the R community, but if you have an idea it'd appreciate hearing it.
Thanks for publishing the book online. I have ordered a physical copy from Amazon, but I'm reading it on the website in the meantime. I noticed you wanted issues reported. In the below section, agency is misspelled.
Section: Simple vs easy
In the course of this book we will cover things that are very simple. For example, we’ll take a data set (think of it like an Excel file) with crime for nearly every police agencyg in the United States and keep only data from Colorado for a small number of years.
