SAC Activities  partial listing

    As an integral part of the research function of the UAA Justice Center the SAC is involved, in one capacity or another, with many of the on-going projects at the Center. As well as performing data collection, electronic and manual, the SAC maintains datasets/DB's. Maintanence includes importing data extracts into relational databases as well as exporting data for use in other programs such as SPSS, ESRI, GeoDA, etc. Maintanence also involves the creation of new variables, subsets for additional analysis, spatial information additions and cross database indexes.
