AQMeN is an ESRC funded network of around 1400 people with a shared interest in quantitative methods and who wish to refresh their existing knowledge or learn a range of new skills. The main aim of AQMeN is to build capacity in quantitative expertise amongst the social science community of Scotland. The Network is led by a group of academics from eight of the Scottish Universities and its activities are aimed primarily at Scottish postgraduate students and academics of all levels, although around a third of our members are non-academic. AQMeN organises a range of training and knowledge exchange events covering all social science disciplines. Specific examples of activities for those interested in crime and justice during 2011/12 included: training to use the Scottish Crime and Justice Survey and training events for crime analysts on statistical methods and GIS hotspot mapping.
