              Two examples of quantitative analysis of social systems:
                        political profiles in a Finnish election,
                    and criminal attitudes of Swedish suspects

In the first example [1] I present an empirical investigation of the  
political profile of candidates and elected of the last parliamentary  
elections in Finland, based on their answers to a questionnaire  
proposed by one of the leading Finnish newspapers. The survey is  
analyzed as a bipartite network in which individual respondents are  
linked to the actual answers they provide. In our analysis, we  
quantitatively verify that female candidates present political  
profiles, which are more compassionate and more concerned with social  
welfare issues than male candidates and we show evidence that the  
voting procedure acts as a process of information aggregation.

In the second example [2] I present a study on the degree of  
specialization of criminal suspects. We observe a non-trivial pattern  
of specialization across age and gender of suspects.
