Simple Statistics Applications in Criminology and Criminal Justice

"Simple Statistics provides a concise, compelling, and reasonably priced introduction to basic statistics for students of criminology and criminal justice. Written in a conversational tone, this text does not "dumb down" the material. Rather, it demonstrates the value of statistical thinking and reasoning in context." "This book covers essential statistical techniques. It does not attempt to provide an encyclopedic sweep of all statistical procedures. Author Terance D. Miethe shows how verbal statements and other types of information are converted into statistical codes, measures, and variables. Many texts don't cover this process of operationalization and measurement - so most students don't have a clue as to how research methods and statistics are related or how to conduct statistical analysis from the bottom up."--BOOK JACKET.Miethe, Terance D. is the author of 'Simple Statistics Applications in Criminology and Criminal Justice', published 2007 under ISBN 9780195330717 and ISBN 0195330714.
