Statistical techniques: to better measure effects within our research and the analysis of our data; learning from new methodologies to analyse and interrogate administrative data, particularly missing information, low frequencies and counts, and approaches to data linkage.

Background

We want to build our internal capability to apply cutting-edge analytical and research methodologies. We are keen to engage with researchers across a range of disciplines, to explore how innovative methods could be applied to justice research.

Next steps

We can be contacted at the following email address: evidence_partnerships@justice.gov.uk.
