Aimed at undergraduates with little or no background in the subject, this text covers basic techniques for the statistical analysis of criminal justice data. Vito (U. of Louisville) and Blankenship (East Tennessee State U.) de-emphasize statistical tests and hand calculation, focusing instead on the interpretation of data. A sampling of topics includes the elements of the research process, pie and bar charts, measures of central tendency, establishing confidence intervals, and interpreting correlation. Annotation c.
