Synopsis
Adapted from the author's Research Methods in Criminal Justice and Criminology, 6th ed., this core edition eliminates the last two chapters of the parent text for instructors who do not wish to cover statistics and evaluation research. Hagen (Mercyhurst College) uses real criminological and criminal justice studies to illustrate research methods, with coverage progressing from basic theory and methods through research design and data analysis. This edition includes expanded coverage of Institutional Review Boards and computer-assisted self-administered interviewing techniques. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
