Gun Ownership Crime Describing hypotheses of Guns & Crime article Promote + Gun Ownership Crime Deter -

Types of Hypotheses in Guns & Crime Research Gun Ownership Crime Promote + Gun Ownership Crime Deter - Directional (alternative) Hypothesis 1.What would be the null hypothesis ? 2.What would be the bi-directional alternative hypothesis?

Gun Ownership Crime Gun Ownership Crime Deter - Explaining logic behind hypotheses in Guns & Crime article Facilitate Violence Promote + Implicitly Threatens Retribution

Variables in Guns & Crime Article How many people in the US own guns Passage of concealed firearms legislation “Handgun magazine” sales data of states & counties Number of gun shows Gun-related deaths Homicide rates Non-gun related homicide rates Burglary, Larceny rates Robbery, Assault, rape, car theft rates

Types of Variables in Guns & Crime Research How many people in the US own guns= Predictor/IV Passage of concealed firearms legislation = Predictor/IV “Handgun magazine” sales data of states & counties =Predictor/IV Number of gun shows=Predictor/IV Gun-related deaths=Criterion/DV Homicide rates=Criterion Non-gun related homicide rates=Control (or DV) Burglary, larceny=DV Robbery, assault, rape, car theft rates=Control (or DV)

Which design establishes the causal relationship with more certainty? Why? –Field Experiment Recall, experiments establish cause via Manipulation of cause (aka treatment) Temporal precedence of cause (and no other factor) before effect Control of all other extraneous factors Practice concepts learned with Guns & Crime Article

By Establishing cause via –Manipulation of cause (aka treatment) –Temporal precedence of cause (and no other factor) before effect –Control of all other extraneous factors How do experimental designs attain precision?
