"Statistics in Criminal Justice" takes an approach that
emphasizes the application and interpretation of statistics in
research in crime and justice. This text is meant for both students
and researchers who want to gain a basic understanding of common
statistical methods used in this field. In general, the text relies
on a building-block approach, meaning that each chapter helps to
prepare the student for the chapters that follow. It also means
that the level of sophistication of the text increases as the text
progresses. Throughout the text there is an emphasis on
comprehension and interpretation, rather than computation. However,
as the statistical methods discussed become more complex and
demanding to compute, there is increasing use and integration of
statistical software. This approach is meant to provide the reader
with an accessible, yet sophisticated understanding of statistics
that can be used to examine real-life criminal justice problems
with popular statistical software programs. The primary goal of the
text is to give students and researchers a basic understanding of
statistical concepts and methods that will leave them with the
confidence and the tools for tackling more complex problems on
their own.
