The Practice of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice
Author: Ronet Bachman, Russell K. Schutt

Student Study Site: http://www.sagepub.com/prccj2 — Based on Russell Schutt’s Investigating the Social World, the most successful social research text to have been published in a generation, The Practice of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice, Second Edition has been thoroughly revised and adapted spec... more »ifically for criminal justice courses and programs. The authors originally wrote this book to teach research design and techniques within the context of substantive criminology and criminal justice issues of interest to students and the field. Features and Benefits:

Comprehensive. Integrates fundamental criminal justice issues with research techniques in every chapter and incorporates both qualitative and quantitative methods to strengthen research design and data analysis.
Instructive. Uses SPSS as a way to teach and reinforce the relationship between good research design and data analysis, utilizes graphics in every chapter to facilitate students’ understanding of concepts discussed, and offers a companion Web study site with self-study quizzes, exercises, and flashcards to master key terms and concepts, along with Web-based research projects.
Inclusive. Each book comes with a student disk that contains General Social Survey data sets from 2000, a demo for HyperRESEARCH’s popular qualitative analysis software, a step-by-step introduction to SPSS, a sample research proposal, and a variety of interactive exercises for students to work on independently.

New to the Second Edition:

Two important new chapters have been added — Chapter 5 on causation and experimental design, which combines the former Chapters 5 and 6, and Chapter 8 on secondary data analysis, with topics such as crime mapping.
The former Chapter 9 on multiple methods has been expanded and now follows the evaluation research chapter.
Each chapter includes "Developing a Research Proposal" exercises.
New interactive examples and exercises are now accessible on a CD-ROM that comes bundled with the textbook
The examples now incorporate HyperRESEARCH, as the software tool for qualitative data analysis, and an appendix on using this program has been added. There is also a demo of HyperRESEARCH on the CD.

The Practice of Research in Criminology and Criminal Justice, Second Edition is an essential text for undergraduate and graduate students taking a research methods course in criminology or criminal justice.
