Based on Earl Babbie's best-selling text, THE PRACTICE OF SOCIAL RESEARCH, this text combines the key strengths of Babbie's text (accessibility; a conversational, "friendly" writing style; and great examples) with Michael G. Maxfield's expertise in criminology and criminal justice for a text that addresses the specific methods used in criminal justice research. The new edition of this market-leader includes changes in its coverage of ethics, causation, validity, and research design, as well as updated coverage and statistics, and expanded examples, especially in the discussion of field research. A running case study on the dropping crime rate in New York City?a study to which co-author Maxfield has close links?further demonstrates the important role of research methods in our evolving understanding of crime and society.
poorly done textbook
| Customer Rating: | | I had to use this textbook for a criminal justice research class. I found it to be poorly written and extremely dry. Granted, research methods aren't exactly the most interesting topic in the world, but in my opinion this book not only fails to adequately discuss the topics it presents, it poorly presents them. Complex concepts are not fleshed out enough and multiple topics are fired at you like the book is a machine gun. The problem is, they're all similar and tend to run together due to the lack of definitive discussion on each. Unfortunately, this may be the worst textbook that I have ever had to use. |
Book was printed wrong
| Customer Rating: | | The product came to me with the text in upside down and backwards. It is readable, but it is like the covers are on wrong. So if I want to read it I must flip it over and turn it upside down and the text reads correctly that way. |
