Research Methods (Paperback, 3rd edition)

Since its first edition in 1985, Patrick McNeill's "Research Methods" has become a classic introductory text for undergraduate students of sociology and for a range of specialists in disciplines such as education, business, social care, and medicine who need a brief but authoritative account of how sociologists set about doing research.
After a brief overview of the history of sociological research, which introduces some of the key concepts, the book describes the main sociological research methods, with a final chapter about theory, science, and values. An appendix provides a set of questions that students should ask when they are evaluating accounts of research.
This new edition, co-authored with Steve Chapman, retains the clarity of style of the second edition, and brings the content up to date in terms of:
* references to research studies
* developments in relevant sociological theory
* developments in research methodology
* new material on the presentation of research findings.
