| TITLE |
| ESSENTIALS OF RESEARCH METHODS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND CRIMINOLOGY |
|
| ABSTRACT |
| The book offers a complete introduction to qualitative and quantitative research methods for criminal justice in a reader friendly format. The author emphasizes sources and resources of classic and contemporary research in the field, and uses criminological and criminal justice studies to illustrate research methods and skills. The second edition includes a brand new chapter on policy analysis and evaluation research, useful to examine existing program evaluations in order to determine which programs work, which do not, and which are promising in criminal justice. The text also highlights the importance of ethics and confidentiality in criminal justice research, and provides a greater and deeper discussion on internet research: ethical aspects of internet research, as well as new hybrid techniques for internet research, combined with traditional methods. || |
