A unique look at the problems in measuring crime both historically
and internationally Filled with real world examples derived from
media reports on crime trends and other sources, this fully updated
Second Edition analyzes the specific errors that can occur in the
three most common methods used to report crime-official crime data,
self report, and victimization studies. For each method, the
authors examine strengths and weaknesses, the fundamental issues
surrounding accuracy, and the method's application to theoretical
and policy research. Throughout the book, the authors demonstrate
the factors that underlie crime data and illustrate the fundamental
links between theory, policy, and data measurement.
