Striking a new tone, written in a straightforward manner with
perplexing research language and associated complexities kept to a
minimum, the first edition of Criminal Justice Research Methods:
Theory and Practice broke new ground. Keeping this trademark style,
the second edition covers important developments and updated
examples in research methods and procedures, providing real-world
scenarios to demonstrate methods as well as practical and
theoretical aspects for each method. New in the Second Edition: *
Updated examples * Reworked exercises * Additional discussion
points * Updated research in the action sections * Revised figures
and tables The authors discuss scientific inquiry, establishing a
framework for thinking about and understanding the nature of
research. They examine various types of research designs in the
broad categories of quantitative, qualitative, and evaluation
designs and provide coverage of analytical and experimental
research designs. The book also examines survey methods, survey
instruments, and questionnaires, including wording, organization,
and pretesting. It describes the fundamental characteristics of the
qualitative approach, setting the stage for an in-depth discussion
of the participant observation and case study methods of research.
Other topics include ethical standards of conduct, topic selection,
literature review, and guidelines for writing a research report or
grand proposal. Defining a clear approach to the study of research,
the book covers a sufficient amount of material to allow first-time
research students to get "comfortable." It prepares students who
are experiencing their initial exposure to research to go out into
the real world and become proficient researchers in criminal
justice and criminology.
