Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling with IBM SPSS

Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling with IBM SPSS

Multilevel and Longitudinal Modeling with IBM SPSS Third Edition demonstrates how to use the multilevel and longitudinal modeling techniques available in IBM SPSS Versions 25-27. Annotated screenshots with all relevant output provide readers with a step-by-step understanding of each technique as they are shown how to navigate the program. Throughout diagnostic tools data management issues and related graphics are introduced. SPSS commands show the flow of the menu structure and how to facilitate model building while annotated syntax is also available for those who prefer this approach. Extended examples illustrating the logic of model development and evaluation are included throughout the book demonstrating the context and rationale of the research questions and the steps around which the analyses are structured. The book opens with the conceptual and methodological issues associated with multilevel and longitudinal modeling followed by a discussion of SPSS data management techniques that facilitate working with multilevel longitudinal or cross-classified data sets. The next few chapters introduce the basics of multilevel modeling developing a multilevel model extensions of the basic two-level model (e. g. three-level models models for binary and ordinal outcomes) and troubleshooting techniques for everyday-use programming and modeling problems along with potential solutions. Models for investigating individual and organizational change are next developed followed by models with multivariate outcomes and finally models with cross-classified and multiple membership data structures. The book concludes with thoughts about ways to expand on the various multilevel and longitudinal modeling techniques introduced and issues (e. g. missing data sample weights) to keep in mind in conducting multilevel analyses. Key features of the third edition: Thoroughly updated throughout to reflect IBM SPSS Versions 26-27. Introduction to fixed-effects regression for examining change over time where random-effects modeling may not be an optimal choice. Additional treatment of key topics specifically aligned with multilevel modeling (e. g. models with binary and ordinal outcomes). Expanded coverage of models with cross-classified and multiple membership data structures. Added discussion on model checking for improvement (e. g. examining residuals locating outliers). Further discussion of alternatives for dealing with missing data and the use of sample weights within multilevel data structures. Supported by online data sets the book's practical approach makes it an essential text for graduate-level courses on multilevel longitudinal latent variable modeling multivariate statistics or advanced quantitative techniques taught in departments of business education health psychology and sociology. The book will also prove appealing to researchers in these fields. The book is designed to provide an excellent supplement to Heck and Thomas's An Introduction to Multilevel Modeling Techniques Fourth Edition; however it can also be used with any multilevel or longitudinal modeling book or as a stand-alone text.

Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs

Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs

Current estimates indicate that approximately 2. 2 million people are incarcerated in federal state and local correctional facilities across the United States. There are another 5 million under community correctional supervision. Many of these individuals fall into the classification of special needs or special populations (e. g. women juveniles substance abusers mentally ill aging chronically or terminally ill offenders). Medical care and treatment costs represent the largest portion of correctional budgets and estimates suggest that these costs will continue to rise. In the community probation and parole officers are responsible for helping special needs offenders find appropriate treatment resources. Therefore it is important to understand the needs of these special populations and how to effectively care for and address their individual concerns. The Routledge Handbook of Offenders with Special Needs is an in-depth examination of offenders with special needs such as those who are learning-challenged developmentally disabled and mentally ill as well as substance abusers sex offenders women juveniles and chronically and terminally ill offenders. Areas that previously have been unexamined (or examined in a limited way) are explored. For example this text carefully examines the treatment of gay lesbian bisexual and transgender offenders and racial and gender disparities in health care delivery as well as pregnancy and parenthood behind bars homelessness and the incarceration of veterans and immigrants. In addition the book presents legal and management issues related to the treatment and rehabilitation of special populations in prisons/jails and the community including police-citizen interactions diversion through specialty courts obstacles and challenges related to reentry and reintegration and the need for the development and implementation of evidence-based criminal justice policies and practices. This is a key collection for students taking courses in prisons penology criminal justice criminology and related areas of study and an essential resource for academics and practitioners working with offenders with special needs. | Routledge Handbook on Offenders with Special Needs
