        Conceptual Definition
        
        Clearly state the concept
        Ex. "Define a Probation Violation"/ "Define Plea Bargain"
        
        Operational Definition
        
        Define how this concept can be measured in a study
        Ex. "How many offenders on probation violate probation?"/ "What percentage of indigent defendants opt for a plea bargain?"
        
        Measurements in the Real World
        
        Measure your concept using a Unit of Analysis, Variables, and Values
        
        Unit of Analysis - this is the object of our study
        Ex. Parolees/Defendants

    - - The Scientific Method is:
        Empirical - based on observations and measurements
        Reproducible - able to obtain the same results if you were to do the study again the same way or in a different way
        Explanatory - Describes an association or casual process
        Testable - can your question be tested in the real world?
- - - - Ratio
        This is the most precise form of measurement because its values are equally distant and it has a true zero-point
