Summary
Based on Russell Schutt's Investigating the Social World, the most successful new social research text to have been published in a generation, The Practice of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice has been revised and adapted specifically for criminal justice courses and programs. It uniquely helps to teach research design and techniques within the context of substantive criminology and criminal justice issues of interest to students and the field. With expanded coverage of topics like causation, ethics, and qualitative analysis, along with a comprehensive and unique ancillary package, the third edition is a text both students and instructors will appreciate.
