Background
For several years, I taught the Interuniversity Consortium on Political and Social Research course, Quantitative Analysis of Criminal Justice Data.   This provided expertise in locating and using archived data, collected by other researchers, to test theoretically and policy relevant hypotheses.

My own data collection efforts (sometimes with colleagues) have resulted in several types of data available for qualitative and quantitative analysis.
