For the last several decades, social work curricula have included
research as a required course at both the undergraduate and
graduate levels. The few social work texts on statistics that exist
are written from a mainstream perspective and do not challenge the
current neoliberal social order. In Statistics for Social Justice:
A Structural Perspective, van de Sande and Byvelds argue that
social work research, including statistics, should be taught from a
structural perspective and should follow anti-oppressive
principles, which view the problems experienced by people as rooted
in the social, political and economic structures of society. Just
as social workers are committed to social justice and social
change, so too should be the aim of social work research. In order
for researchers to convince funders, the government or even the
general public to accept their arguments, it is crucial to provide
hard evidence in the form of numbers and statistics. Social workers
must have a good understanding of quantitative research methods and
statistical analysis in order to be able to present this kind of
information. The aim of this book is to lay the foundation for this
knowledge and provide an introduction into statistical concepts as
they relate to social work, all while using a social justice lens.
