Fundamentals of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice
With a lively, informal writing style that addresses research methods questions clearly, this brief text sheds light on how criminal research is conducted with plenty of in-depth examples from real research that help students understand the big picture of research methods and their policy implications. Derived from Bachman and Schutt's popular The Practice of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice, this streamlined version is less formal, with everyday, less complex examples, an integrated treatment of qualitative and quantitative methods, an emphasis on ethics, and extensive end-of-chapter exercises.
