Criminology: SPSS and other software

You can download the statistical analysis software below from the Middlesex University download server or link to it as indictated. 

We have created a Linkedin Learning Collection of courses to teach you how to use Nvivo, SPSS, Minitab and SurveyMonkey.

Nvivo allows a researcher to work with rich information, where deep levels of analysis on both small and large volumes of data are required. "It removes .. tasks associated with analysis, like classifying, sorting and arranging information, so you have more time to explore trends, build and test theories and ultimately arrive at answers to questions."  It is often used for analyzing qualitative data from interviews.

• The Middlesex University download server has PC and Mac versions.  
• The Nvivo website includes Nvivo website tutorials to help you get started.
• There is also an Nvivo training course on Linkedin Learning.
