Kenneth Macdonald Annual Report 2004 - 2005

Kenneth Macdonald (Faculty Fellow) has continued research which critically assesses the use of basic predictive techniques (OLS and logistic regression and such) in mainstream politics and sociology journals – the nature of the prose that researchers seek to attach to their analyses suggests that these analyses should routinely be differently conducted. He completed work on the interpretation of social service performance indicators, and on perceptions of domestic justice. He hopes during the coming academic year, whilst on University sabbatical leave, to bring closure to some other longstanding projects.
