Many dependent variables in criminal justice research turn out to be ones in which the categories are simple dichotomies: Either something happens or something doesn't, or something is or something is not. For example,
- The person is the victim of a crime or isn't a victim.
- The person uses drugs or doesn't use drugs.
- The person is convicted or is acquitted.
- The police department adopts an innovative program or it doesn't.
- The state passes a new law or it doesn't.
- The nation has capital punishment or it doesn't.
