Research Methods for Criminal Justice and Criminology

Based on Babbie's best-selling text, THE PRACTICE OF SOCIAL RESEARCH, this is the leading text in criminal justice research methods. It incorporates the key strengths of the Babbie text (accessibility; conversational; "friendly" style; great examples) with Maxfield's expertise in criminology and criminal justice. This new edition includes updated coverage and statistics, strengthened examples, provides better integration of technology and the Internet, and is now even more accessible to students.
