This book explains and illustrates criminal justice research
topics, including ethics in research, research design, causation,
operationalization of variables, sampling, methods of data
collection (including surveys), reliance on existing data,
validity, and reliability. For each approach, the book addresses
the procedures and issues involved, the method's strengths and
drawbacks, and examples of actual research using that method. Every
section begins with a brief summary of the research method.
Introductory essays set the stage for students regarding the who,
what, when, where, and why of each research example, and relevant
discussion questions and exercises direct students to focus on the
important concepts. Research Methods for Criminal Justice and

the field today, such as immigration and crime, security post-9/11,
racial profiling, and selection bias in media coverage of crime.
Ensuring a rich array, additional articles are downloadable at the

encourages classroom discussion and critical thinking and is an
essential tool for undergraduate and graduate research methods
courses in criminal justice, criminology, and related fields.
