Abstract
In this chapter, two types of research questions will be addressed. The two general research questions are as follows: (1) whether or not a set of raters agree, which is analyzed by using the Kendall’s Coefficient of Concordance, and (2) whether or not a set of raters agree when given only two choices at a time, which is analyzed by using the Kendall’s Coefficient of Agreement. These two general questions are used by the team to answer (1) do the three raters give the same “meanness” ratings to each offender and (2) do the raters agree on which of two offenders is “meaner.” The team will venture their way through the process necessary to answer these two research questions.
