This text is meant for both students and professionals who want to gain a basic understanding of common statistical methods used in criminology and criminal justice before advancing to more complex statistical analyses in future volumes. This book emphasizes comprehension and interpretation. As the statistical methods discussed become more complex and demanding to compute, it integrates statistical software. It provides readers with an accessible understanding of popular statistical programs used to examine real-life crime and justice problems (including SPSS, Stata, and R). In addition, the book includes supplemental resources such as a glossary of key terms, practice questions, and sample data. Basic Statistics in Criminology and Criminal Justice aims to give students and researchers a core understanding of statistical concepts and methods that will leave them with the confidence and tools to tackle the statistical problems in their own research work. 606 $aCriminology 606 $aSocial sciences$xStatistical methods 606 $aCriminology 606 $aStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xStatistical methods. 615 14$aCriminology. 615 24$aStatistics in Social Sciences, Humanities, Law, Education, Behavorial Sciences, Public Policy. 676 $a364.015195 700 $aWeisburd$b David$0568227 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910440647103321 996 $aBasic statistics in criminology and criminal justice$92087472 997 $aUNINA
