Workshop: Data Visualization with R

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract

The workshop will introduce participants to the use of R for visualizing patterns in crime and criminal justice data. The course will cover the standard graphical and plotting tools in R as well as the development of choropleth maps and other more specialized charts and visualization tools, some of which will rely on R's low-level plotting capabilities. Additional diagnostic charts that researchers can use to examine their data as well as publication-ready charts that will be useful for formal presentations, books, and journal articles will also be considered. A detailed set of slides, helpful resources, and R code examples will be provided to all workshop participants.
