"Criminal Justice and Criminology Research Methods truly engages students to learn an essential yet difficult subject. It features real-life examples, accessibility without sacrificing rigor, cutting-edge coverage of the subject, and a consistent demonstration of how research is relevant to both the criminal justice system and our discipline. This text goes beyond the nuts and bolts, and teaches students how to competently critique as well as create research-based knowledge."--BOOK JACKET.
