Teaching Datasets

The BCS 2000 teaching dataset and British Crime Survey 2007-2008 teaching dataset are available. The datasets can help class tutors to incorporate empirical data into their courses and thus develop students' skills in quantitative methods of analysis and their knowledge of large-scale government surveys.

An unrestricted access British Crime Survey 2007-2008 Teaching Dataset is also available. Users do not have to go through the standard registration procedures to obtain these data - we simply ask for your email address.
