Assessing inequality in the Criminal Justice System using novel causal inference methods and Bayesian spatial models
截止日期：2023年7月27日
1 Project
About the project:
The Lammy Review showed evidence of discrimination in the Criminal Justice System. The aim of this project is to use causal inference methods to corroborate these findings by quantifying the impact of discrimination in sentencing using Data First: Criminal Justice System Linked Datasets.
The proposed aims of this studentship are to understand:
whether and how early life course events such as education and being in care are impacted by systematic discrimination;
how early experiences impact involvement with the Criminal Justice system later in life and whether discrimination continues to play a part;
whether there are regional differences (e.g. London vs the rest of England).
The following methods could be used:
longitudinal mediation analysis to determine the impact of being in care and educational attainment on later outcomes such as violence and arrest and how discrimination confounds these relationships;
proximal causal inference to determine the impact of discrimination on the pathway between life events in relation to violence and involvement with the Criminal Justice System;
Bayesian Spatial analysis to address spatial/regional differences in discrimination.
We are looking for someone who:
has some experience in data analysis, and is interested in analysing 'big data'
is interested in understanding how life events can lead to individuals being involved in the criminal justice system and what part discrimination plays in this process
is interested in causal inference broadly and can see themselves developing methods in statistical causality
2 Funding
The ADR Studentship is tenable for three years and will cover full fees at the UK home rate (for international students, LSE will cover the difference between UK Home rate and overseas fees) and provide an annual stipend (which for 2022 entry was £19,668) for three years, commencing in 2023.
A fourth-year stipend will also be provided by LSE which will match the UKRI rate at that time.
3 Entry requirements
Applicants should have completed (or be on track to complete) a taught MSc in Statistics, Mathematics or a related discipline (e.g. economics, etc.) or equivalent, plus an undergraduate degree of good standing.
There is also an English language requirement for all applicants for whom English is not their first language.
International students may consult the graduate prospectus for details of equivalent qualifications.
