Criminal Justice Research Methods provides students with an
accessible, easy-to-understand guide to all aspects of social
scientific research methods. It features a comprehensive discussion
of qualitative and quantitative data gathering strategies and a
plethora of current examples to help readers understand the process
of doing research and investigating issues that are relevant to
criminal justice and criminology. The opening chapter
differentiates between pure and applied research, explains the
relationship between theory, and method, identifies different types
of research, and clarifies why research is necessary. Additional
chapters cover ethical adherence, experimental designs, and crime
data and sampling techniques. Students explore survey research
designs and learn effective skillsets for interviewing and
observing. The final chapters examine unobtrusive measures and
secondary analysis; validity, reliability, and triangulated
methods; and scaling and index construction. Throughout, learning
objectives, summaries, discussion questions, and key terms support
student engagement and retention. Concise and highly contemporary,
Criminal Justice Research Methods is ideal for courses with
emphasis on research in criminal justice and criminology.
