Looking for data on crime and social control?
'Crime' encompasses a wide range of issues that lie within the remit of several academic disciplines, including sociology, psychology, law and economics. As a theme, crime may cover various topics, ranging from contemporary concerns over youth gangs and anti-social behaviour, through ‘white collar’ and corporate crime, including crimes against the environment, to serious violence. Crime-related data held by ESDS include not only national crime surveys (which themselves cover diverse issues such as identity theft and alcohol-related disorder in the night-time economy), but also illegal drug use, workers in the criminal justice system, football hooliganism, and community policing in Africa. |

Managing and sharing data: A best practice guide for researchers
Data created from research are valuable resources that can be used and re-used for future scientific and educational purposes. Sharing data facilitates research often beyond the scope of the original research, encourages scientific inquiry, avoids duplicate data collection and provides resources for education and training. UK Data Archive (UKDA) has years of expertise in implementing and training in best practices in data management and methods of data sharing. |

Looking for data on health?
As a theme, 'health' covers a wide range of topics and cuts across many academic disciplines: the boundaries of what constitutes health data and health research are both fuzzy and shifting. Data have been collected and are made available via the ESDS on topics as varied as the experience of illness, child development, access to care, lifestyle behaviour, subjective physical and mental well-being, diet and nutrition, immunisation programmes and attitudes towards health service provision. |
