The United States Federal Government, as well as all the state governments, have created a large amount of statistical data relating to our society and its people, and has been proven a treasure trove of hard data that sociology students can make use in their research.
The Digest of Education Statistics and The Condition of Education.are two important annuals are published by the United States government that are especially useful for sociology students in their research projects.
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) the primary source for criminal justice statistics, collects, analyzes, publishes, and disseminates information on crime, criminal offenders, victims of crime, and the operation of justice systems at all levels of government. This should be the first place sociology students should come for social crime statistical data for their research papers.
